Default got a trade offer, whats your opinion
as some of you have seen i posted about a 169 that i am going to get, well my boss offered to trade me his original with deck, 3 point and spring assist for the 169 that we dont know if runs, has no deck, no pto and home made foot controls for the hydro, what do you all think i should do? i figure they would both be worth right around the same, only problem with the original is it needs a blade belt and it burns oil and probably could use a new drive belt as its maxed out on adjustment

I do not have enough data to answer the poll!!

What is your intent for the machine??

Pulling logs out of the woods = 169

Mowing a larger area = 169

Enjoying a Sunday putt around the yard = Original

Both need work.

My choice is both!!

more or less just to have and mess around with/restore/show type thing, i have my 102 for pushing and pulling stuff it does a good enough job and the 80 mows my yard, i just cant pass up the 169 for the price that im getting it for and the fact that its not exactly the most readily available tractor, and the original mostly for the same reasons (havnt found many of them around here lately within my price ranges) the original is a runner just needs paint and probably re-ring the engine and im sure the 169 would need the same. i would probably have to put the same amount of money in both...that and the original looks cooler

I think that you should keep the 169. 169's are a lot harder to find than an O

Unless it's a 3 or 4 digit.

Still, theres more 3 and 4 digit serial #s of Originals then there are 169's. Like Adam said, you can buy Originals all day...169's are the real ticket, and will be worth just as much or more as an Original. Just my .02

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.
