First, welcome!
Not all 169 came with hydraulic lift, from what I have heard quite a few were shipped with manual lift and had the hydraulic added at the dealer. My 169 has the hydraulic lift, but none of the parts are painted, it was installed after the tractor was painted.
The only way to be sure it is a 169 is by the serial number. It should be 0048 ahead of the U in the sequence.
Hope this helps,
Mike
