Tim, I don't think anyone has asked what mods, beyond the hydraulic lift-which was stated that no change is likely to be done, does your friend want you to do on this? I prefer auto relief valves over the manual ones. The bolt debate isn't over yet......I like hex heads to replace the Phillips heads in the foot rests. Ag tires or turfs? Since it has the manual lift, it is probably closer to the end of the production run, Jonathan mentioned a hydraulic lift and I know that it was stated that he wanted it like his dad had it, with manual, but that may be a topic for you to discuss with your friend that it would be a really wise option since none of us are getting any younger. Also, do you plan to change out the PTO to a non-safety (pre-74) one? It has a work light on the fender, is that going to be a replaced item or a removed item?

I'm not so concerned about you answering these questions, nor am I trying to badger you with a bunch of questions. I was just curious how others are changing around their 169's, since I have two that have not been restored yet or gone through and I am looking at making some of these same changes to mine (except both have hydraulic lifts).

Looking forward to your updates and progress,

Cub Cadet 123

It's getting Tru Powers in the rear and he's undecided between v61's and the Firestone tri ribs, I'd go with tri ribs myself. It currently has one auto valve and one manual but I will probably switch out the auto for another manual since the flap is still intact. I believe the work light is just going to be removed unless he would like to keep it.

If he wants to keep the work light, a flat bar bolted to the underside of the seat would work. No fender hole and could be removed at a later date without a "witness mark".

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.
