I have a 169 that I bought a few months ago that did not have a deck, I recently purchased a deck from another party and as I look at the main drive pully on the deck it just seems a little big, Belt width wise, the identifacation number on the deck is 441 u 1111. if anyone could please give me any help I sure would appreciate it, Thanks Skip

Hey Skip!!! How's it going good buddy!!!!

Skip, I'm not too familiar with the cubs that came after the Original but I'll give it my best shot. After doing some searching here and there, I came up finding out that the Deck that's numbered 441u1111 was made for the 149 Cub Cadet. And as for your 169 Cub Cadet, there are several Mower Decks that fit your tractor. But there's a catch to it. Each deck that was made for the 169 Cub Cadet was assigned to a specific 169 Cub with a specific Serial Number. Basically, find the Serial Number to your Cub and you'll find the deck that was assigned to your tractor. Hope this helps in some way???? Take care good buddy!!!

Cub61: Since the 169 was just another Cub Cadet Garden Tractor in the 1x8/9 series, where did you find that there were decks made especially for and unique to each 169??

IH tractors did not come from the factory with any implements or accessories as standard equipment. They had to be purchased separately from the Dealer, and in the Cub Cadet's case, including which size deck the buyer wanted - all optional!

Only the Lawn Tractor style riding lawn mowers and the Rear Engine Riding lawn mowers came with a deck as standard.

That "441U1111" on the deck is only an ID/specs tag and is does not contain a one-up serial number like the tractor kind/codes. See IH CPE-2. This deck was built in 1973 & 1974. The 169 was built during this same period.

The 169 was more-or-less a field test preview of the not-before-used Kohler 16 hp engine, planned for the upcoming QL series with the 1650 in the line-up. The only odd thing about the 169 was that IH ran out of the standard (to the 149 & 169) hydraulic lifts during the 169's production run and some had manual lifts instead. Retro-fit kits were made available later for 169 (only) buyers wanting hydraulic lifts.

Otherwise, the 169 used any optional accessory or equipment used on any other Cub Cadet.

The PTO belt for the 169 with that 441U1111 deck is an IH 59971-C1 belt. The deck spindle belt is an IH 59701-C1 (MTD/CC: 754-3004) belt.

You're very welcome Skip. Like I said, I'm not much help when it comes to the Cubs produced after the Original. But I'm always willing to help in anyway possible. Take care good buddy!!!!!

Hey Myron!!!! How's it going good buddy!!!!

Myron, I was just going by what Carter & Gruenewald has listed on their Parts Diagram. Like I said, I'm not too familiar when it comes to the later cubs. Chances are I might have read the Parts Diagram list wrong. Take care good buddy!!!!!
