Cub Cadet 122 Parts Catalog – 67-Page OEM Parts Index

Description

I have been turning wrenches for 28 years. When I see a guy ordering the wrong brake disc because he used a generic parts list, it burns my time and his wallet. That is why you need the Cub Cadet 122 Parts Catalog on your bench before you call the supplier. This is a 67-page factory document that lists every part number, reference number, and exploded view for the 122 model. No guesswork, no aftermarket interpretations.

This catalog was printed by Cub Cadet (formerly International Harvester) for their 122 garden tractor. The OCR excerpt on page 1 shows “Battery Holder” – that assembly alone includes the bolt (IH-376294-R2), the wing nut (KH-X-276-7), and the clamp (IH-376293-R2). Page 2 gives you the brake and connections breakdown with the brake disc, brake push rod, and clutch pedal spring part numbers. You need those numbers if you want to keep the machine running without returning three wrong shipments.

Battery Holder Assembly: What the Catalog Shows

Turn to page 1 and you get the battery holder diagram with four distinct parts. The catalog lists the bolt, the nut, the clamp, and a reference to the battery itself. Each part has a quantity column and an S/P/F indicator (service, part, or factory). That level of detail lets you know exactly what you are ordering. No aftermarket website gives you that.

Brakes & Connections: OEM Part Numbers You Can Trust

Page 4 of the catalog breaks down the brake system: brake lining disc (IH-384719-R1), brake disc assembly (IH-384717-R11), retainer (IH-384720-R2), and the O-ring (IH-378031-R1). The O-ring dimensions are given: 1-3/16 x 1-3/8 x 3/32. That is the factory spec. If you use a generic O-ring from a hardware store, it will leak. This catalog makes sure you do not waste an afternoon.

67 Pages of Exploded Views – No Guessing

67 pages. That is all. But each page packs a diagram with callouts and a table of part numbers, descriptions, and quantities. The manual does not waste space on theory. It gives you the drawing and the number. You identify the part, cross the reference with your inventory, and order. I have seen techs try to rebuild a 122 transmission without this catalog – they end up with leftover parts. Do not be that guy.

Why Aftermarket Parts Lists Fail

Aftermarket suppliers renumber parts or skip superseded items. This catalog uses original IH part numbers like IH-376294-R2 and IH-384724-R1. If you call a dealer with those numbers, they can pull inventory immediately. Read the Automotive Industry Overview to understand the history of these naming conventions – they matter. The catalog also shows when a part is NLA (no longer available), so you know not to waste time hunting a discontinued item. That is information no third-party list provides.

Cross-Reference with Your Cub Cadet 122

I recommend keeping this catalog open while you disassemble. Mark the parts you remove with the reference numbers from the diagram. When you need to order, compare your list against the catalog. For related models, check out the Cub Cadet 21121C29025 Parts Catalog – 73 Pages of Factory Specs or the Cub Cadet 984 Parts Catalog – 128 Pages of OEM Factory Parts Breakdowns. The Cub Cadet 81, 21121C290248 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Breakdown also shares many chassis components. The Automotive Industry Overview put it plainly: accurate documentation eliminates guesswork.

You are not guessing if you use an OEM catalog. You are following the same documents the factory techs used. Access the Factory Manual now and stop fighting aftermarket confusion. Your Cub Cadet 122 will thank you, and so will your wallet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this catalog cover the Cub Cadet 122 only?

Yes. This is a dedicated parts catalog for the single model 122. No other models included.

How many pages does it have?

67 pages.

Does it include service procedures or torque specs?

This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists every factory part number, reference number, and exploded view. For torque specs, you need the service manual. But if you need to order a brake disc or battery hold-down clamp, this is the document to have open on your bench.

Can I use these part numbers to buy aftermarket equivalents?

You can cross-reference OEM numbers with aftermarket suppliers, but the catalog gives you the factory part numbers exactly as they left the IH/Cub Cadet assembly line. If you want to match original equipment, these numbers are the starting point. Aftermarket parts often supersede or vary; this catalog ensures you know what the factory spec is before you substitute. It saves you returns and headaches.
