Oak, Toss 'em into a jug of vinegar for a day or so, then give them the wire wheel treatment and they will look like new again.\I store them in a peanut butter jar with a little WW-40 to slosh them around in every so often.

They keep just fine 'til you are ready to pick one out and use it.

I keep 2 containers, one for IH bolts and one for the w/p bolts.

These are one of the 1st things I notice on a so called "restored" cub that's on display, that and how much "free play" or lack of it is in the steering assy, with the owners permission of course!!

Saw a 169 at Portland last week, "restored"
the front axle pin was about to fall out and the owner was in the process of switching the seat out for one that had arm rests commenting that they were worth $125 alone and then wanted to play the "whattle-ya-give-me for it" game.

Honestly I'm with Tim. I think the guys who get hung up on the IH/WP bolt heads are getting a bit ridiculous. It's a bolt. As long as there is a bolt in place, it's irrelevant what is stamped on the head. I don't think a replaced fastener makes it less "restored" than one that has reworked original bolts. My time is worth more than the time it would take to blast and clean up a bunch of 3/8" bolts that you need a magnifying glass to see what's stamped on them anyway.

Next time I take out an IH or WP bolt, I'm keeping it. When I get a box full, I'm putting them up for sale for you boys to fight over. I'll use your money to buy 3 times the bolts I sold.

I would like for the debate to end here before this thread gets locked. Everybody is entitled to an opinion and they've been voiced so now it's time to STFU and move on.

So to change the subject...

Do you have a timeline on this bad boy? Just curious to know how soon you are planning to get her all fixed up. Again, looking forward to seeing it progress. I know you said it was going to be a working model. Snow Removal or a Plow Horse?

No real timeline, hoping to have it done in the next month and a half so it can go to a plow day in October but don't want to rush it. He plans to go to plow days and use it in his garden at home.

Tim, thanks for the comment. I do not know why some have to keep bringing up the comments about bolts, oil etc and then get into a big debate and finally arguments when they do not pertain to the topic at hand. I for one am very interested on your progress on this machine and want to see it finished. Please keep up the updates.

I am interested in seeing the 169 project proceed with whatever type bolts Tim wants and likes!

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.
