I know the last few thousand 149's and 169's did not come with hydraulic lift because IH ran out of valves for the hydraulic lift. Manual or electric lift was installed and the price adjusted accordingly. The owners of those tractors could bring them back to the dealer when parts were available, and only paid half price on labor and parts if I am correct. So a late model 149 or 169 COULD have manual lift.
