The 169 is my #2 "dream" Cub GT! I would have had a hard time letting go too!

So... What's the scoop? What's the mechanical condition? Plans?

Wanna trade a 1650 with a popped motor (busted crank and probably a broken oil dipper on the rod) for it?

(Your 169 +$900 if you want the professionally rebuild K341AQS, with receipt, on a pallet to go with the 1650 and you bring your 169 to me... )

Wasn't the manual lift the early 169s as the company didn't have enough hydraulic lifts?

To funny... Just before I stopped here I glanced at the local Craigslist(Elmira, NY) and saw a 169 advertised for $800 with a manual lift which made me go since I didn't think they came that way. Come here and what do I see but another 169 with manual lift!

Learn something new everyday.

From Ken Updike's Cub Cadet book: "When the 169 was released for production, IH ran short of hydraulic lift components and built the 169 with a manual lift. A field installed hydraulic lift package was later offered to convert the early 169s to the hydraulic implement lift that the later built units have. This special run of model 169s were equipped with ported hydrostatic units that had plugs installed where the hydraulic lift lines connect. The exact serial number range of the affected unites was not available at the time of this printing."

Looks like the early built ones to me.

Go figure. IH builds a tractor with the most HP available and was only able to install a manual lift.

Nice looking 169.How many hours are on the clock?


I picked up a 169 a couple months ago down at the scrapper very very cheap.Numbers are 2050048U523464 it has hydro lift and headlights.

It runs very very well after replacing points,condenser and a chewed upon coil wire.It has 628 hours on the still working meter.The pump was thought to have gone bad but after further inspection I found a fairly big hole in the pickup tube and an empty tranny.I replaced the line and filled it up and I've been using it regularly to mow and plow with ever since.


I threw some cheap paint on it to keep it from pitting and I plan to restore it after I get my 129 block and crank back from the machine shop.I had the crank balanced and the journal and rod ground for bearing inserts and the block bored .020.She was egged out and had a good bit of blow bye.

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.
