the 169
 

I havent really been on here much the last year but still cubbin...heres the engine to the 169 i picked up in oct...all done ready to go..the frame is hanging from the ceiling and the rearend got squirted yesterday....will be doing assemly on jackstands once cured...only thing left is wheels and fender assembly..it didnt have hyd lift when i got it, but it will now...thank you to a forum member....so heres a taste

Oh and topped off with a red 8mm accel plug wire.....total rebuild, rod, piston .020" over and some other goodies...

Wow that's better than new. I'm digging all the stainless. And dual condensers? Do tell

Very nice engine.:beerchug:

Looks great!:beerchug:

It's a secret. :Shhhh:
Think about it..... you may figure it out...... :biggrin2:



Nice looking motor. :drool2:

Thank you gents...missed this place...hope youre all well....thanks john....cast governer gear and oil pan too...ill get some pics of the other s#$t too, just been busy..had a baby girl in sept, (our LAST) of 4....and just seems like theres never enough time...i also got a semi tore up 72 and a free kubota z482 that im trying to get finished for my local steam show...

Very nice!

And anticipation builds just to see the rest of the tractor, especially after looking at the quality of job you did with your engine.....wow!!!

Definitely going to stay tuned in to this one.:popcorn:

Welcome back, mate! Congratulations on your new addition to the family....No matter how many times it is said, "Dad" sure sounds great!

Cub Cadet 123

Some shots....the dual condensers im hoping is going to help with points longevity in running a hotter ign....it also has new style piston and rod with rod and cap offset bored for a continental (engine) bearing and a little pop out...head went .020" down with a fly cutter, valves ground, seats dressed, bronze inserts put in guides..i opened up the intake runner to the 30mm also....the original exhaust was there but just not salvagable in my mind so ill have to show you what i came up with for 31 dollars and see if anyone can tell..(well after paint anyways)....i also had a gentleman at redoyourhorse.com make up the original engine tags with MY #s on them...super high quality, like theyre printed on aluminum...nice guy too...anyways

Nevermind the basement pics...just not enough room to hang anything else in the shop....old lady says it looks like a tractor serial killer lives here...loves it when she hits her headon something doing laundry too...as long she didnt mess up the paint:biggrin2:

The exhaust took some tig time, but its an almost EXACT match size wise...started as a muffler for a deere with 1.5" pipe in the bottom and same coming out the top...other than stamping, (on bottom inside) no one will know....i hope....good old fleet farm
