169 Hitch Install
I figured the one thing this tractor was missing the most is a 3-point hitch, so I bought one off eBay. A friend and I were trying to install the hitch last night. We spent about an hour trying to get the lift bar attached to the lift arm underneath the frame cover. There is simply not enough room between the lift arm and the lift bar attaching plate to get it in there. I am finally about to conclude that the lift arm has been broken and the original owner repaired it using some sort of homemade clevis-type metal piece and just didn’t happen to mention it.
I am hoping that some of you experienced Cubbers can tell me what’s going on here. I am thinking the lift arm should just be one smooth piece coming up from that bottom shaft (the one the lift arm rotates on) up to the hydraulic arm link end. If it was like that, I believe the lift lever would fit in there with no problem. What I’m thinking should be done is remove the entire link and re-weld the arm back the way it should be so I can install the hitch lever. Does the lift arm that hooks to the hydro ram look like it’s been messed with? How much of a task will getting the entire shaft assembly out of there be? Thanks for any replies… I have pictures if somebody can tell me how to attach... I posted them in an album called "rocketdog pics" but don't know how to attach them to this thread.

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.
