I voted for the 169. But i would really want to see what it was going to take to get it back to original. If someone hacked it up to make it a foot controlled hydro, it might be a lot of work to get it put back the way it was originally.

It's really up to you what you wanna do.
But, if it were up to me, I'd go for the 169. Now keep in mind I'm kinda partial to wideframes (and 169's). They did only make 4005 of the 169's. I'm sure some didn't survive. So I'm sure there's fewer than that out there. Good luck and keep us posted. Don't forget the pics after the purchase.

Ah, my "get both" suggestion won!

Seriously, I think you made the right suggestion. 169s seem like unobtanium, so get it while you can.

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.
