Default The 169 gets serviced!

Tonight I pushed the 169 out from the back of the garage and charged the battery, put fresh gas in, and it popped right off. Let it run for a few minutes, then took the deck off and sharpened blades, scraped out the shell, and greased the spindles. Checked the belts, greased the tractor and tested it out. Looks like its ready to go! Camera died in the deck action shots

Good looking 169. Agreed about the mowing season; right now it's the transition period of no snow pushing but no grass to mow, and the ground is still hard enough (and snow covered enough) to not even be thinking about tilling of any kind.

We finally have no snow here (except in the road ditches) and it has been fairly warm here with highs ranging in the high 30's to mid 50's. The grass on the south side of the house is starting to show some color again, so I figured I better get the beast out! I also serviced my 1450 last night but had no pics due to the camera dying.

The 169 looks ready for action Ryan. If you have a gravel drive, it might be a good time to use the blade to move the gravel back in place or grade it off, before the grass grows around it. You motivated me to try to work on mine this weekend if my schedule will permit it.

I think this weekend I will be doing some yard work even though the temps will only be in the 30s. Trimming trees and picking up limbs will be on top of the list!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
