I recently picked up a Cub cadet 169 and am trying to figure out the Hour Meter. How it Works ? Does it need to be reset at 600 Hours? Wiring diagram? How to test it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. here is a link to a Video i made of the Meter. Thanks, DanO'

Dan,
How are you? welcome. You do not have to reset it after 600hrs,it will keep going as long as you keep track of how many times it has turned over. You do not have to remove the tank to get to the back of the hour meter.You remove the small screw on the frame and the one bolt on the dash tower and that little panel will come off.Then you can test it to see if it works. If you look in the manuals section you will find a wiring diagram. Lew

Thanks again for all the info guys, just to fill you in on what I found...the Meter has a two wire connector on the back, one goes to the coil positive side, the other (on Mine) went NOWHERE! But it did have juice coming from it, so I'm thinking maybe it was an optional connection to a PTO to keep a Hour Meter on that as well?? I don't know, but anyway, Problem with mine was the Ground. NO GROUND WIRE..that's what the shematic showed, glad I didn't listen to that!!! The case is the only ground. Mine was poor contact, so i added a ground strap. here is the link to my updated You Tube Video.

The only thing bad about these meters is how many times has it went past 600 hours. Is it 1800 or ? hours.

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.
