Default My Cub Cadet Diesel Conversion Project.

I acquired this 169 a few years back. It needed a new engine, hood, etc. I had a Kubota 1600T diesel that the trans went out. I decided to use the 2 cyl Z482 from that to go into the 169. The rear fender and fuel tank is from a newer CC 1542 with a rear fuel tank. The battery is under the hood (like the 1772D). Since the last picture here, I have added ag tires to rear, added a Brinley hitch to rear lift, got a different smokestack (the one in the picture I was sharing between my Kubota B7100 and this one). The driveshaft is 2 universal joints from a Ford F150 upper steering shaft. I had to move the steering column over closer to the frame by reversing the mounting block to the opposite direction. Driveshaft adapter is from Driveworks 3 bolt to 2 bolt. I used the radiator from the Kubota and mounted it on the front of the 169 and used electric fan wired to switch for cooling it. Alternator, water pump, and belt are still in place running off of the stock Kubota driveshaft pulley. I used the wiring from the Kubota and glow plugs circuit. I used the throttle cable from the Kubota, but had to mount it on the lower right side of the dash. The kill cable is located in the 169's Choke hole which I re-used from the 169's choke cable. PTO engage lever is in place for looks only, and is not functional. Hydraulic lift lever is in place and works for rear Brinley lift.

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.
