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.

She looks great! :beerchug:

Thanks Terry! I try and keep it clean and waxed!

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.

Very glamorous indeed.
How is that motor running?

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

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 :beerchug:

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
