Default Cub 169
I am going to look at a Cub 169 this weekend, and have been told a lot of people like to make another cub look like a 169. Can you guys give m some tips on trying to figure out if it is a 169. Thanks, sorry no pics.

It is true that 169's have the larger air cleaner and bigger muffler. It may or may not have those. To be sure it's a true 169, look at the serial number. It would have a kind/model code of 0048 towards the beginning of the number. The serial number should look something like this: 2050048UXXXXXX. Good luck and keep us posted!

Here are some pics of the air cleaner, hour meter and large muffler on my 169. They all had these with lights as a standard. It could have a manual lift and still be correct.

Do all 169's have the hour meter or was that an option?

They were all supposed to have the Maintenance Minder but some people take them off for some unknown reason

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.
