I now have a 109, 129, 149 x 2, and the 169. All run except the new to me 169.

Default 169

Congradulations on the 169, I have had one for about 5 years, great machine, I just bought a 1811 that I am restoring, I have a copy of the 169 manual it may help, I would need your E mail, it is a PDF file, and I can forward it to you.
As for the muffler watch E bay, there was some that would be a close match (after market)

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
DX3...great story! I believe that things happen for a reason. You were in the right place at the right time. Same thing happened to me with my 149, as you know. I love that thing! I could see myself getting (hopefully) a 169 someday as a project tractor. Can't wait until warmer weather so I can begin sprucing up my 149, though it won't need much at all. $300 is a great price for your new baby. Hope to see some photos of it real soon.
Merry Christmas!!

I took the carb off the 169, soaked it and put in a new kit. Also cleaned the spark plug and gas tank. It fired up and sounds great. The hydro lift works, along with the hour meter. Can't get the lights to work yet. Put a snow blade on and waiting to use it.

I got the 169 all paid for today. Mr. Bishop said he would have to move some things around to get it out, I know he has had a hard time in last few weeks with his surgery, so told him to take his time and wait for a good couple of days and weather and if he needed help to call me. So with fingers crossed I hope to have it home in a couple of weeks. I have waited this long, a little more time won't kill me. :biggrin2.gif:

DX3...awesome! Just a belated Christmas present for you.
Mr. Bishop sounds like the sort of guy I bought my 149 from. Kinda like we're carrying the Cub torch.

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.
