I'm a 169 kind of guy in Northern NJ!
I have two 169's...
The working one is from October 1974 and has the original engine. Apparently it is a special run as it has a Manual Lift, the factory was out of HydroLift parts at that time and needed to ship orders to dealers. The dealers got a discount on their invoice and were supplied with a Part # for a retrofit kit (The HydroLift Parts) to order at a later date, I have a Factory to Dealer letter regarding this issue. The second 169 is in engine swap mode now. Unfortunately the PO had done a 70's Dodge Go Mango rattlecan sprayover of the IH Yellow. If I remember correctly that one is a bit newer & toward the end of the 169 run maybe 1976. I use them to mow (have 2 50C decks and a 42 cast front that is my favorite) 2 acres of lawn & 3 acres mix of field grass & meadow. Sometimes I let the field grass go to over 20" tall in areas but the decks just mow it down and in 4 passes it is all mulched. The meadow sometimes gets overgrown with Russian Olive an invasive species of brush that grows woody trunks about wrist size & 8 foot high. The power of my tractor can just knock them down and decks can just chew them up! Rarely do I get out the chainsaw Love it and great seat time! Use 42" Blade to plow my 800 foot single lane paved driveway. Can move 12" of heavy snow, over that I have to get it plowed because the side drifts get too high to make it wide enough for a car. To remedy that I got a QA42 Snow Thrower but its mounted on a NF mount, have the parts to swap over to WF but pulley is frozen on shaft and not allowing the plate to be removed. Breaking out the torch soon. Tom  Newton NJ

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.
