I don't thank its a 169 engine the dip stick would be under The air cleaner

Well all the good advice gave us a great success and moving the lawn tractor. One of the Rims was quite rusty and you can see where the previous owner had put sealant around the bead to keep the air from leaking out probably with no success. After a bunch of squeezing and banging we got the bees to see them both wheels. The rusty one still leaked and I ended up putting some slime in it as a temporary hold because it lost air very fast.

I was quite surprised to see the bolt that help the wheel on having a safety wire hole drilled through it. Is that something that supposed to have a wire to keep it from backing out? Kind of like the old security bolts that kept the nuts from backing out?

As far as the Hydro release lever goes it was broken and I could see where the original owner had braised it several times and it still rusted and snapped in two. I ended up using PB on every nut and bolt that I could see and I also put it on the hydraulic pressure relief valves.

So after airing up the tires dropping the deck and sleigh The unit rolled off the trailer with no problem. Hopefully tomorrow will be a new day and inasmuch as I'm busy with other work I'm a little anxious to see if the motor might turn over.

I must admit when I originally saw the tractor with keys in it I was quite happy but then I pulled them out and noticed they were Fulton keys so maybe somewhere down the line it had a ignition switch change.

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.
