Cub Cadet 169
 

The dream of owning a 169 has come true today. I was so anxious to get it today that my Grandpa went and got it for me while I was still at college! No pictures yet, but there will be!

The bad news is that it is a project, and I mean not just the normal "turns over, but no spark" project. It didnt come with a head, carb, grille, s/g, or the air cleaner, but it does have hydro lift and a deck with it. Even worse...it sat outside with no head for who knows how long :bash2:. Grandpa said the engine is stuck...but, Ive dealt with worse...

I know the thread's worthless without pics but they will be here soon!

Congrats on your 169!

If the block is the correct one, hope it is able to be salvaged.
The block in the 169 is unique to it...

When the balance gears ventilated my 169, I had a hard time finding a correct replacement...

No balance gears in the replacement...will tollerated the additional vibration.

The air cleaner is also unique to th 169 as is the muffler/mount....

I wonder why the air cleaners are always missing on the 169's...

Congrats on the 169!:beerchug:
Can't wait to see pics!

Congratulations on the 169 IACubCadet You will enjoy it.
I love mine :biggrin2:

Shoot me a pm when your ready. I've got a friend with a short block.:beerchug:

Methos-Awesome! I may need to get in touch with you about it. I will get pics of it tomorrow.

I looked at our sponsors and they do have the correct one for a 169, but its pricey. Grandpa told me it has a decent muffler he THINKS...a head, carb, and a grille shouldnt be too hard to find. I just hope it can be salvaged engine wise. Might need to find a parts machine.

congrats on the 169

Congrats on the 169. My partner is just finishing up a ground up restoration on a 169. You found a nice model.
