Ken there was three part numbers used over the large frame years. first was the 1250-1477 then the was a change in the part and ran the 1886 thru the HT23-01 model and then a change on the Ht23-02 to the end.
I would say that the last change was for a heavier support due to the big 2 stage blowers but to be honest i have never heard of a heavier support so that would be a guess.
Jim Hixon pointed it out to me when he was at my house a month or so ago that the ht -23 that I just bought had the wrong one on it. Said it definitely should have the thicker support on it since it was a later 23.
Not sure if you ever heard of Jim, but he is like a walking Bolens encyclopedia. Wish I could talk him into joining the forum, he don't like the computer thing. Hell, he don't even text. Lol good guy though.
