Default Cub Cadet 169
The dream of owning a 169 has come true today. I was so anxious to get it today that my Grandpa went and got it for me while I was still at college! No pictures yet, but there will be!

The bad news is that it is a project, and I mean not just the normal "turns over, but no spark" project. It didnt come with a head, carb, grille, s/g, or the air cleaner, but it does have hydro lift and a deck with it. Even worse...it sat outside with no head for who knows how long . Grandpa said the engine is stuck...but, Ive dealt with worse...

I know the thread's worthless without pics but they will be here soon!

If the block is the correct one, hope it is able to be salvaged.
The block in the 169 is unique to it...

When the balance gears ventilated my 169, I had a hard time finding a correct replacement...

No balance gears in the replacement...will tollerated the additional vibration.

The air cleaner is also unique to th 169 as is the muffler/mount....

I wonder why the air cleaners are always missing on the 169's...

Methos-Awesome! I may need to get in touch with you about it. I will get pics of it tomorrow.

I looked at our sponsors and they do have the correct one for a 169, but its pricey. Grandpa told me it has a decent muffler he THINKS...a head, carb, and a grille shouldnt be too hard to find. I just hope it can be salvaged engine wise. Might need to find a parts machine.

Congrats on the 169. My partner is just finishing up a ground up restoration on a 169. You found a nice model.

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.
