Cub Cadet 111 Parts Catalog

I’ve been wrenching for 28 years, and the biggest waste of time in a home garage is ordering the wrong part because you trusted a generic cross-reference. That’s why you need the Cub Cadet 111 Parts Catalog — 57 pages of factory-original exploded views and part numbers, not aftermarket guesses. Page 3 shows the caliper brake assembly with every washer and cotter pin listed by OEM number. You won’t find that on a forum.

Air Cleaner Assembly: Exploded View and Part Numbers

Every parts catalog worth its salt has an air cleaner section. This one lists the cleaner assembly (BS-391786), the gasket (BS-270853), the element (BS-270843), and even the screws (BS-93622 and BS-93323). The reference numbers match the exploded diagram on page 2. If you need a replacement air filter element for your Cub Cadet 111, you look up the part number here and order it. No guessing if it fits.

Brakes & Connections: What You’ll Find on Page 4

Stop with the wrong brake pads. Page 4 of the catalog covers the brake assembly, disc and hub (761-3001), woodruff key (714-0868), brake rod (747-3045), and the clutch and brake pedal assembly (IH-538866-R1). The catalog also lists hardware like the 3/8 lock nut (712-0375) and washers with exact dimensions — 0.281 x 0.750 x 0.105 inch. If you’re rebuilding the brake system on a 111, you need these OEM numbers, not a universal kit that leaves you with leftover parts.

57 Pages of Factory-Only Part Data

This is a factory-original parts catalog, not a reprint from a third party. Every page comes from the Cub Cadet documentation that dealers used to order parts. The catalog includes sections for the air cleaner, brakes, and the caliper brake assembly on page 5. You get part numbers, quantity per assembly, and sometimes serviceability flags — /S for service, /P for part, /F for factory. That level of detail matters when you’re deciding if a component is worth replacing or rebuilding.

Why OEM Part Numbers Beat Aftermarket Guesses

Aftermarket catalogs often use superseded numbers or list generic equivalents that don’t match the original fit. With this catalog, you have the exact Cub Cadet part number from the factory. For example, the brake assembly (703-0280) includes a coiled spring pin (715-0134) and an extension spring (732-3019). Try asking a parts store for ‘a spring that looks about right’ and see how long your repair takes. This catalog eliminates that headache. If you need a wiring diagram or repair procedure, pair this parts catalog with a service manual for the Cub Cadet 111. That combo covers every bolt and every step.

Caliper Brake Assembly: Reference Page 5

Page 5 shows the caliper brake assembly with reference numbers 1 through 10. Each number corresponds to a row in the parts list: the disc and hub assembly, washers, lock nuts, woodruff key, brake rod, cotter pin, pedal assembly, foot pedal, lever assembly, and the brake assembly itself. The catalog even notes when a part is not used in this application — reference number 9 is marked ‘Not used in this application.’ That kind of attention to detail prevents ordering a part that won’t fit. If you’re restoring a 111 or just replacing worn brakes, this catalog saves you a trip to the parts counter.

Other Cub Cadet models have their own catalogs. Check out the Cub Cadet 21121C29025 Parts Catalog – 73 Pages of Factory Specs for a different platform, or the Cub Cadet 984 Parts Catalog – 128 Pages of OEM Factory Parts Breakdowns for a larger machine. The Cub Cadet 81, 21121C290248 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Breakdown covers a similar era. For a broader view of agricultural equipment documentation, read the Automotive Industry Overview on Wikipedia. The same principles apply: factory data beats aftermarket speculation every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this parts catalog include torque specifications?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers and exploded views. For torque specs, you need the service manual.

How many pages does this catalog have?

57 pages.

Can I use this catalog to repair my Cub Cadet 111?

Parts catalogs don’t give repair procedures. They show you what part goes where. You’ll need a service manual for step-by-step repair. This catalog helps you order the correct OEM parts before you start the job. For example, if you’re replacing the brake rod, you’ll find the part number (747-3045) and the associated cotter pin (714-0507). That kind of detail prevents buying the wrong hardware and having to stop mid-job to run to the store.

Are the part numbers in this catalog still available from Cub Cadet?

Some parts may be discontinued. The catalog shows original OEM numbers. Cross-reference with a Cub Cadet dealer for current availability. The manual itself is a scan of the original factory document, so the numbers are accurate for the production era.

If you’re working on a Cub Cadet 111, having the factory parts catalog on your bench means you’re not guessing part numbers or hoping aftermarket stuff fits. Every exploded view, every washer dimension, every screw thread is documented the way the factory intended. Access the Factory Manual now and keep it in your shop — you’ll save time, money, and frustration on your next repair.
