Cub Cadet 1015 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Parts Breakdown for Serial 126001-207400

You got a Cub Cadet 1015 out in the lot with a busted brake pedal. You call the dealer, he reads you a part number off some aftermarket list, and you end up with a spring that belongs on a different mower. That’s the exact reason I keep a factory Cub Cadet 1015 Parts Catalog on the bench.

Cub Cadet 1015 Parts Catalog – What’s Inside

This 58-page document breaks the mower down into every nut, washer, spring, and housing. You get exploded diagrams with reference numbers, a parts table with Cub Cadet part numbers, quantities, and a column that tells you if it’s a service part (S), production part (P), or field-installed (F). Page 2 kicks off with the air cleaner assembly: 11 parts from the screw (BS-94248) to the element (BS-271962). You don’t guess—you order exactly what the engineer designed. If you need parts for a different Cub Cadet model, look at the Cub Cadet 21121C29025 Parts Catalog – 73 Pages of Factory Specs for more coverage.

Air Cleaner Assembly: Breakdown for S/N 126,001-207,400

Page 1 shows the air cleaner exploded view. The table lists every part: screw, cover, knob, mounting nut, washer, cartridge, body, gasket, and element. Part numbers like BS-94248, BS-223700, BS-212706. The knob and mounting nut are marked “S” — service parts you can order individually. The gasket (BS-270853) is marked “/P” meaning it might be a production-only item; check availability. If you tear the air cleaner housing, you need the body (BS-490332). No aftermarket cross-referencing required. This is the factory list.

Brake Pedal & Connections – 22 Parts, One Diagram

Pages 3 and 4 cover the brake pedal and connections. 22 parts including foot pad (735-0189), pedal (703-1532), parking brake bracket (703-1393), wave washers (736-3001), cotter pin (714-0507), brake return spring (732-3046). The diagram shows exactly how the switch actuator bracket (703-1897) mounts. When I had a 1015 come in with a pedal that wouldn’t return, I pulled page 3, spotted the spring (732-3046) and the rod (747-3124)—ordered both. Next day, fixed. The catalog gives you the part number and the relationship between components. If you’re working on other Cub Cadet models, the Cub Cadet 984 Parts Catalog – 128 Pages of OEM Factory Parts Breakdowns is another solid resource.

Carburetor Disassembly: Page 5 Reference

Page 5 drops you into the carburetor assembly. The exploded diagram shows the bowl, float, needle, jets, gaskets—30 parts total. Ref numbers guide you to the factory part list. The OEM part numbers are specific to the 1015 (S/N 126,001-207,400). Don’t assume a carburetor from a different serial range or model fits. The Cub Cadet 81, 21121C290248 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Breakdown uses different part numbers for its carburetor, so cross-check before you order. The 58-page catalog stays on my box because it saves me from returning wrong parts.

58 Pages of Factory Part Numbers

Each page covers one assembly: air cleaner (p.1-2), brake pedal (p.3-4), carburetor (p.5), and more. The serial range is printed at the top of every page: 126,001 to 207,400. That’s the single most critical spec—if your machine falls outside that range, the parts changed. I’ve seen guys order a brake pedal for a 1015 with serial 208,000 and wonder why the holes didn’t line up. This catalog eliminates that. The documentation standards in the Automotive Industry Overview are reflected here: accurate, traceable part numbers.

Why the Serial Number Range Matters

The 1015 had multiple production runs. Between S/N 126,001 and 207,400 the brake cam (703-1558A), the brake rod (747-3124), and the parking brake grip (720-3019) all have specific superseded numbers. After 207,400, Cub Cadet changed several castings and fasteners. If you don’t verify the serial against this catalog, you’ll order a pair of nuts (712-0324) that might not match the thread pitch on your machine. The catalog page lists the fastener specs—like 1/4-20 hex cap screw (710-3015) with length .75 inches. That level of detail belongs in every shop. The Automotive Industry Overview confirms that OEM documentation is the foundation of reliable repairs.

FAQ

Does this parts catalog include torque specifications?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. You need the separate Cub Cadet service manual for torque values on bolts and fasteners.

Will this catalog work for a Cub Cadet 1015 built after serial 207,400?

No. The catalog covers S/N 126,001 to 207,400. Later units use different part numbers. Cub Cadet changes frequently—always check serial range.

How do I identify the correct part number from the exploded diagram?

Find the assembly you’re working on (e.g., brake pedal, page 3). Locate the part in the exploded view and note its reference number. Then go to the table below the diagram: each row lists the reference number, part number (like 703-1532), description, quantity, and an S/P/F column. The S column indicates a serviceable part you can order individually. P means production-only—may be superseded. F means field-installed. Verify your serial number range at the top of the page. If you see multiple similar parts (like two different washers), check the dimensions: the table includes thickness specifics in inches. Cross-reference your old part with the description and part number before ordering.

Can I use this catalog to order parts for other Cub Cadet models?

No. Each model has its own parts catalog. Use the correct one for your machine.

That’s the bottom line. If you want to shelve guesswork and start turning wrenches with the right parts in hand, Access the Factory Manual and put it on your bench.
