The 169's did all come with ported hydros. They could be converted to hydraulic lift and alot were. IH had a field installation kit that was supposed to be added when they were converted. Don't remember what all was in the kit, some springs, etc. My 169 has hydraulic lift. I had a second 169 that I sold that was also hydro lift. Would be neat to have a manual lift one to go with my hydro lift 169. I sure wish Tennessee was closer
