How do I know if I have a narrow frame or wide frame? What is the difference?

Jeff-
The "narrow" and "wide" frame designations typically only apply to the earlier <FONT COLOR="ff0000">I</FONT><FONT COLOR="000000">H</FONT> built machines.
Your 1440 is an MTD-built unit and is neither...

Jeff, WELCOME!
In a way, both Art and Craig are correct. The 1440 is an MTD built Garden Tractor with a frame that is nearly the same as the frame on the <FONT COLOR="ff0000">I</FONT><FONT COLOR="000000">H</FONT> built 82 series Garden Tractors (except the 982 which is a Super Garden Tractor). The 82 series is kind of a wide frame, often called a "spread frame" as the top of the frame spreads outward to allow for larger engines, such as the horizontally opposed KT series Kohler as would be found in the 782. Clear as mud?
