Your friend is correct,
Find a different model to cobble on.
The 169 is the 2nd rarest Cub produced and much sought after.

I put a loader on my 149. Any modifications I made were done to the loader and it just bolted on. I'm sure the same could be done with a loader and backhoe to a 169 without modifying the tractor, but a restore on the 169 and another tractor for a worker sounds good too.
The thing I liked about the loader on the 149 was having the loader controls on the right and the speed control on the left so I could move the tractor while controlling the bucket. The same loader on a 1450 or later would have been a pain because both controls would be on the right hand side.

My loader is on a 149m as well, a DanCo model 2149
No mods needed except for the PS addition I added and deleting the original hydraulic lift.
