Put a down payment on a 169!!!
Went to the local Cub store this morning to pic up my gaskets for the 128 shifter plate and rear end cover. I got to talking with Mr. Bishop the owner and we got back onto the topic of his 169. I kind of hinted around a bit that I was still interested in it from when I had looked at it a few years ago. He kind of grinned a bit and told me he would probably sell it, due to the fact his health is slowly failing and he knew he would never get around to fixing it back up. He openly told me the Governor in the engine would probably need replacing but that the motor had not over revved. Other than that it was in great shape, but hadn't been moved for a long time. Other than being dusty when I saw it a few years ago, it looked good. He told me he knew he could make a lot more money just by parting it out, but that he just couldn't stand to do that and would rather see someone fix it up and get it going. After asking him how much he wanted for it and holding my breath till I thought I was going to turn blue, he looked around, leaned in and said I'll take $300 for it. I asked if I could put down $100 and finish paying next month would be ok, and he said take all the time you need. So I put down the money and the 169 I have been wanting for years will soon be in my shop. To say I am excited is a little understated LOL. He also told me he may go ahead and make a deal on the 129 sitting right beside it. And he has a very very nice 100 in his old store on the show room floor still sitting where it was for the past few years. It is painted the wrong color, yellow, but short of that, it looks runs and drives just like a new one. I am hoping I can pick that one up around March. Hmmmmm.... I am not going to have enough room in my shop to work.... Is nice to have problems like that .... I'll post pictures once I have it in my possesion. He said to let him know when I was ready for it and he would bring it in to the store and have the guys clean it up and be ready for transport. A great early christmas present to myself

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.
