Any Differences b/t the IH 144 cultivator and 144T cultivator ??

[AL Farmall Boy]

Does anyone know what the differences are in an IH 144T cultivator compared to the regular 144 cultivator ?

I have an IH 274 diesel offset tractor and need the front cultivator for it which is supposed to be a model 144T. The regular model 144 cultivator that fits the IH 140 tractor looks the same to me and I can buy a set of those, so please let me know what the differences are and if the regular 144 cultivator will fit the 274 tractor. I'm only talking about the front cultivator and universal mounting frame only, I already have the rear tools. I presume the 144T cultivator is like trying to find a needle in a hay stack.

About half the parts of the universal mounting frames are the same, the other half different. They can't be much different. But you may find some problem like having it hit the engine when raised or the like. The square bars that go into the implement sockets are different. Different cross section? Different length? Don't know. You may have to try it to see what happens.

The tool bars are the same.
