Default Cub cadet 169 advice

Found this Cub Cadet. I heard there great tractors. Well anyways. $200 is it worth it. And what are somethings I should look out for when going to look at it. I'm good with small engines, just never worked on a Cub.

First, welcome to OCC...........

The 169 is a much sought after model. It was the first 16HP model they introduced. Plus, it is one of the rarest models, with only 4,005 units being made. Some had the infamous Kohler 13 Fin engine block.

$200 ??? In a heartbeat.

The tractor does not have the correct muffler for a 169. In fact if that angled style is on there the elbow was most likely changed as well. That would make me question further if the engine is really a 16hp or a 14hp with 16 tins. That being said if you are not a “ purist” a 14hp hydraulic, hydrostatic, beefy tractor with a 48” deck is still worth the asking price if it’s all there in my opinion.

It would be in my truck already for $200. It was not uncommon for exhaust to get changed to something other than factory. My question is why is the engine out of the tractor. Does it spin? Either way.. I would buy it!

Welcome BTW. Where in NY are ya? Downstate here Long Island

I would safely assume, it is the correct Kohler K341-71154 Engine in it.

The muffler is incorrect, in that the original IH-61274-C1 is no longer available from Cub Cadet. One can still find NOS or Aftermarket replacements.

There are about 3 different mufflers that will fit the 169, although not correct but will work. I am guessing this is the case.

The Blower Housing Shrouds are the same for both the 14HP and 16HP engines. The only way to positive to determine whether it is a 14HP or 16HP model, is to pull the head and measure the cylinder bore.

Mufflers are cheap to replace. Great deal!

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.
