If you see two holes for rivets on the rear end, those would be for the serial number tag. My model 86 has the tag in the pictured location, however.

As old as these machines are the rearend could have been swapped out.

The fiberglass towers are dated so one without the oct 1974 date would be supected as fakes.

Merk's correct on the hydraulic lift info. Yes, 169's had the serial number tag on the left side of the frame. Did ya see any evidence of holes on the frame? Even when they switched the serial number tag to the frame, the rearends stayed the same and had that raised boss even though the tag wasn't there anymore. On that rearend, I don't see any evidence of holes in the boss where the serial tag would have been attached. It could be a 169, just alot of variables.

Something about that frame doesn't look quite right, just can't put my finger on what it is.

Since this tractor has so many parts that are obviously from a 169 I would bet that for some reason the frame was changed somewhere along the way.

IIRC someone here recently parted a 169... Might see if he still has the frame or maybe just the tag.

Thanks, everyone for all the input. I bought this to get the engine for my 149.
Part of the package was a K321A short block with head. Don't have plans for that yet.
The K321A in my 149 will go in this mongrel. I'll find the parts to complete the hydraulic lift. It will get sandblasted and painted. Some colors other than CC yellow/white or red. Most likely make it a Ford LGT clone.

If anyone is still interested in my maybe 169, it has brake calipers that look like this:

I have no idea if this is relevant or not.

Maybe it's the parts of the chassis that may have been repainted yellow over white?

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.
