Jason - I highly recommend going with the 128 Marty has over the Quiet Line tractor shown in your pic. The Quiet Line used ISO-mounts (rubber) in a cradle type set up for mounting the engine. The engine in a 128 does not have this and would be directly mounted to the frame. Also, the IH used aluminum trannys in some of the later production Quiet Line units. The 128 has a cast iron tranny. There is also a good chance the Quiet Line would be a hydrostatic drive instead of gear drive, since IH had learned the public preferred hydro to manual by 9:1.
Yes to both questions.Thank you im looking to buy one to fix up and do little tractor pulling with and I found this one. Haven't seen it yet just pics I posted. Trying to figure out if its a manual and cast rear end?
Ahhhhh....I see it now peeking out from the top. I was looking for that and didn't see it so I was thinking it was a 1450 or 1650. Good eyeThe later QL tractors had aluminum axle tubes only, and IMO, this is not a detriment for any normal usage. The rest of the transmission is the same construction as the earlier models.
Based on the pictures, it appears to be the later version with 1" spindles, aluminum lower grille, and internal brakes and aluminum axle tubes. Can't tell if there is a shifter there or not, but it has manual lift, so it is either a 1000, 1200, or 1250.
