Default 169 glamour shots

Put a new cub cadet factory seat on the 169 - love it! Sit up a bit higher and is alot more ergonomical for me bro g over 6 ft. She just finished mowing so not as pretty as I'd like.

Enjoy!

I've never mowed with chains. How do you like it? Only needed for steep slopes?

Looks great!

Thnx Andrew ! I don't normally mow with chains except at the beginning of the year. My property has some slopes and gradients that take some time to dry up so I use the chains for additional traction to prevent sliding on hills and getting stuck. They will come off once it dries up a bit more. I would really love me some firestone ags...

Oh as to mowing, I don't notice I have chains on in the grass. On the pavement it can get a tad bumpy bit I don't mind it - to each their own.

Looks like a great working 169 cub! You really take great care of that, as the pics show. I like the "new" king's throne mounted on it. I always remind people that you can breath the king's air, but you cannot sit in the king's throne. Your 169 would be a treasure in anyone's collection!!

Mowing with chains works fine for me and is not noticable. It helps out if stuck or needing to pull something unexpectedally.

Great looking tractor. Those armrests make it look very comfortable to ride.

Thank you so much for the kind words! Ever since I first learned of the 169 I had always wanted one. Now that I have one, I do what i can to take care of it. I gave it a much needed bath tonight

As to the seat - it's a brand new factory seat off one of the new cub models on the showroom floor at the dealer. I can't recall the model but it sure is comfy and very ergonomical as previously stated. The arm rests are great - now just need a cup holder lol.

Foot controls would be icing on the cake - for the hydro

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.
