Cub Cadet 1320 Parts Catalog – 69 Pages of Factory Parts Breakdowns

Listen, I’ve seen too many guys tear down a carburetor on a Cub Cadet 1320 only to find they ordered the wrong gasket because they guessed at the part number. That wasted afternoon costs you money and leaves a mower sitting. The Parts Catalog for this machine is what you reach for when you want the exact screw, the exact precleaner element, and the exact decal. It’s 69 pages of factory-issued diagrams, not some third-party redraw. If you work on these tractors, you know the value of having the right reference before you touch a wrench.

This PDF covers serial numbers 147,008 through 207,400. That matters because Cub Cadet made running changes in the middle of a model run. Page 1 shows the air intake assembly for that range. Page 2 lists the air cleaner cover (KH-12-096-06) and the precleaner element (KH-12-083-08). Those part numbers come straight from Kohler’s engineering release. Use a cross-reference website and you might get the wrong element. That is not a risk I take, and neither should you.

Air Intake Assembly: Page-by-Page Breakdown

The first two pages of the catalog lay out the air intake system with an exploded view and a table. Ref #1 is the knob for the air cleaner cover (KH-12-341-01). Ref #2 is the cover itself. Each entry includes quantity and whether the part is a service item or sold separately. The S/P/F column tells you if it’s a service part, sold separately, or included with an assembly. That level of detail is missing from the one-page summaries sold online.

You also get the mounting plate stud (KH-12-072-03) and the spacer (KH-12-112-03). If you lose that spacer, you can’t just stick a washer in there—the air cleaner won’t seal. The catalog lets you order the correct part instead of improvising a fix that causes problems later.

Blower Housing & Baffles – Factory Diagram Accuracy

Pages 3 and 4 cover the blower housing and baffles. The diagram shows 14 mounting screws (KH-SM-0545010, M5 x 0.8 x 10). Those screws are easy to lose or strip. When you need to replace them, you pull the part number from this catalog, not from a memory that might be wrong. The baffles for the cylinder barrel (KH-12-063-01), the carburetor (KH-12-063-02), and the cylinder head (KH-12-063-03) are all listed. Without these baffles, the engine overheats. I’ve seen it.

This section also includes the blower housing grommet (KH-12-313-03) and the horsepower decal. If you are restoring a 1320 or just maintaining it, the decal part number saves you from ordering the wrong sticker from a generic supplier.

Brake Pedal & Connections: Why You Need the Exploded View

Page 5 shows the brake pedal assembly with 36 reference numbers. That’s a lot of parts in one linkage. Without the diagram, finding the correct return spring or pivot pin is guesswork. The catalog gives you each part’s exact location and orientation. You see how the pedal connects to the bracket, which springs go where, and which shoulder bolts are used. If you have ever reassembled a brake linkage with leftover hardware, you know the value of this page.

For the Cub Cadet 1320, the brake system geometry changes slightly within the serial number range. The catalog accounts for that. Aftermarket parts lists do not. That’s a fact.

Why OEM Part Numbers Beat Aftermarket Cross-References

Aftermarket catalogs often take a single exploded view from 1998 and apply it to 2002 models. The Cub Cadet 1320 ran from S/N 147,008 to 207,400. During that run, Kohler updated the air cleaner base and the baffle designs. The factory catalog reflects those updates. When an aftermarket list says “fits 1320,” it might be wrong for your specific unit. With this PDF, you verify against your serial number. That is not being picky—that is avoiding a second trip to the parts counter.

Factory catalogs also include supersession notes. If a part was replaced by a newer version, the superseded number is noted. You won’t see that in a generic list. The integrity of the data comes straight from Cub Cadet’s engineering department.

69 Pages of Exploded Views – What You Get

The page count matters. 69 pages cover the entire tractor—engine, steering, frame, electrical, deck, and attachments. Each assembly gets its own spread. You get the part number, description, quantity, and whether it’s a service item. No fluff, no generic photos, no “call for details.” This is the actual document used by dealers. For a home garage mechanic, it’s the difference between ordering the right part and ordering three wrong ones.

Use this catalog alongside a service manual for complete repair information. The parts catalog tells you what to buy; the service manual tells you how to install it. They work together.

Check out the Cub Cadet 21121C29025 Parts Catalog – 73 Pages of Factory Specs for a similar breakdown on a later model. Also see the Cub Cadet 984 Parts Catalog – 128 Pages of OEM Factory Parts Breakdowns for a larger frame machine. The Cub Cadet 81, 21121C290248 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Breakdown covers yet another variant. All these use the same factory standard.

For context on why factory documentation matters in the Automotive Industry Overview, the same principles apply to small engines. Verified OEM data reduces rework and parts waste. An Automotive Industry Overview would tell you that the difference between a recall and a repair is documentation—this catalog gives you the documentation.

Does This Catalog Cover the Entire Cub Cadet 1320 Range?

Yes—for serial numbers 147,008 to 207,400. If your tractor falls outside that range, check the model year or look for a supplement. The front cover and page 1 clearly state the serial number span. Always verify before ordering parts. If you are unsure, contact the seller with your tractor’s serial number. I do not recommend buying parts for a 1320 without confirming you have the correct catalog for your machine.

3 Reasons to Trust This Factory Document

First, the part numbers are Kohler/Husqvarna numbers, not aftermarket cross-references. Second, the exploded views are drawn to scale with correct hardware. Third, the S/P/F column eliminates confusion about whether a part is sold separately. You cannot get that from a generic parts list.

Can I use this catalog for a Cub Cadet 1320 with serial number 200,000?

Yes. The catalog covers S/N 147,008 – 207,400.

What is the difference between this factory parts catalog and aftermarket parts lists?

Factory catalogs like this one use original engineering drawings and part numbers directly from Cub Cadet. Aftermarket lists often combine multiple models, omit supersession notes, and sometimes list wrong fasteners. With this 69-page PDF, you get the exact exploded view for your 1320 within the specified serial number range, so you know the screw you need on page 4 for the blower housing baffle is a KH-SM-0545010 M5 x 0.8 x 10. That level of specificity is missing in generic cross-reference sheets.

If you are restoring, repairing, or maintaining a Cub Cadet 1320, get the factory data before you open a toolbox. Access the Factory Manual now and keep it on your tablet or print the pages you need. Your parts ordering will go faster, and your machine will thank you.
