Default 169
I have never eyeballed a 169. Would love to see one, you are a lucky owner. I watch in yards and around houses best I can when we go a little out of the area. Never see one, but my wife keeps telling me you're gonna kill us both if you don't watch where you're going. Many times we have turned around and backtracked a little to see what was out there in a glance.

Well I made progress on the 169...I got the motor go fire which means I can now tear it down. The fenders and foot rests are garbage so those are getting scrapped. The drain plug on the engine was rounded off so a pipe wrench was used to drain the sludge out...literally sludge. Maybe a few drops of oil. Glad I only got it to pop a few times off carb cleaner. Lol

I'm going to be ordering a complete gasket kit for this motor, as well as a new wire harness, coil, points and condenser then I can clean it up for paint. Oh yea, the original big muffler is still in good shape and its QUIET!!!

Excellent! Glad your muffler is in good shape and quiet--that should save you about, uh $410 or so.... I'll be watching for future posts of your progress on it!

You tried to start a motor without seeing if it had oil in it? I didn't realize getting one to run was required to tear it down.....

If the pan had sludge in it better plan on more than just a gasket kit.......

It had oil in it, dipstick was just a tad under the full line. The sludge was at the bottom of the pan, once I cleared it out the oil flowed right out but I'm still going to open it up and clean it up.

Only reason I want to open it up is to remove the balance gears before they do it themselves...this block is HARD to find.


I'm not as stupid as you may think! Lol

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.
