He may have gone back threw it, but the last time I saw it he just put rings in it and didnt hone it or bore it. But thats been a few years. Like I said hes a great machinest. He would make the hydro drive couplers for us and did a real nice job. I hope hes doing well now, hate to see he sold his 169. Don Dill more than likely ended up with it. I dont think he had one. He lives in Campabello and has about 300 cubs. He has them stacked up in a shop like in whare house racks. Ive sold him a few over the years.

I thought the 86 was also one of the rarer cubs.

Guess the 169 I have with original muffler and 13 fin block and cozy cab is actually worth something.

Don't feel so bad about paying over $500 for a replacement block after the original engine's balance gears wanted to take a vacation and exited the block.

Was trying to sell it with a bunch of attachments but got no bites so I guess I am going to keep it. Only cub I have left besides one original and 6 GT's.

I have a haban sickle mower I made to fit it, snow thrower, tiller, front blade, 50" deck, brinly plow, brinly disc, brinly cultivator, Chipper Shredder and No. 2 cart. Do need to replace hood hinge and fix headlights. Someday maybe I'll take it apart and repaint it properly. Even has a functioning hour meter and the nealy always missing side shields.
