Kevin,
Thanks for posting a picture of the new 169. Yea it sounds like a project but with some time money and patience I am sure you will have it looking good.
Regards,
Chris

If you need a good frame, the one I have in the for sale section is in pretty good shape. Josh is right, mine needs some TLC to be correct, but its a start.

Here’s a tractor that was beat to death over its life and about ragged out brought back to life. I bought a headlight panel for it now, just have to paint it and get it together. Just wanted to get it together since my decals finally came in. I doubt I keep this tractor as it was all about the refurbishing for me.

Parts Replaced: Frame due to multiple cracks in the front, back, and even in the middle. Dash tower due to heavy cracking at the base. Rear end was drilled out in several mounting holes and replaced. Wiring harness was cut up. Used but original style seat.
Parts that were missing completely and I added: Gas tank and straps, mower deck, subframe and mule drive assembly, side panels and hour meter, amp meter, hood hinge, generator and old style flywheel, backing plate, and cover. Also regulator.

Work done: 3 layers of paint from past “repaints” stripped, primed, and painted IH colors. New decals, new coil/condenser/plug/point/wire. Carb soaked and rebuilt. Took motor apart (also switched it back to 169 style generator, flywheel, dipstick, etc.). New rear end gaskets and seals etc. Front pto turned down in lathe, new fingers, thrust button, disc, and brass pto button. Replaced frame/rear end/wiring harness/dash tower/ more. Tapped all holes in frame and bolts for ease of removal and installation now and in the future. Tubes in 3 leaking tires. Disassembled and readjusted brakes/ clutch pedal/ hydro linkages. Welded up holes in the mower deck and readjusted the whole deck. New deck belts.

Kevin the 169 turned out great like all the others you do. Did you find a k341 for it or does it still have the k301?

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.
