Good luck with your 169. I have 2 of them,1 running and another ready to put back together. It is the best Cub Cadet ever made. Plenty of power. Just a nice rig. You will enjoy it, but engine parts are hard to find and expensive.

The hour meter was also standard on all 169's from the factory. They were called Maintenance Minders.

Ryan,
Nice pics. Looks like you have a great start for a 169 restore. You'll find the correct engine, just keep your eyes peeled.

So for a prior owner to put a 14 HP in, they would have to also install the exhaust and heat shield? Is that it, otherwise a bolt in replacement engine?

Seems like it's worth making it run, if it will, and keep the 14 in until a 16 hp comes along.

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.
