personally I like the narrow frame better because they are simpler and easier to work with.

I like the look of my (NF) 100 but find that the wide frames are easier to work with, but I do not do pulling, just workers here.

I would have to say one of the early narrow frames before the quick attach, but if you really have your heart set on a 124 or 126 then use the early tall tunnel frame. or just have some frame rails bent up. save's you the work of welding up all the unwanted holes.

I would think a removable tunnel cover is important to service the clutch.

if you put good clutch parts in to start with there's no service to speak of. 2 years ago I changed a clutch disc in a guys pro altered V twin in a half pint chassis in 20 min. He was the first hook and smoked the clutch disc bad. had a 5 puck clutch in it. apparently his adjusting rod had come loose and tightened up the free play. He was able to come back and finish 3rd . The thing that's really important in choosing which chassis to use is how they hook up, when it comes to that its a NF then a WF then a 82 series. you can make tunnel covers removable, you can make it very easy to work on clutch's or remove a engine or rearend. I can have a rearend or motor out of my tractor in 5 min. with an electric impact in hand. its all in how you build it.

To many people get hung up on what style frame hooks the best, and forget its more about knowing what your tractor will do, in '07 a WF was the ticket, now it's a NF. Personally I don't think it really matters. Started out with a 106 NF stock tractor won a couple local points championships with it. Moved up to sport stock running both the 106 and a 1200 won points championships with both tractors. Now running 582 stock altered tractors on the nqs widest of the wides and my father is leading the points in the 1050 class won 2 of the last three pulls and got 3rd the other time. Being able to read the track and knowing what your tractor will do means much more then if you are running a NF or WF.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
