Cub Cadet 147 Parts Catalog

If you’re wrenching on a Cub Cadet 147 and you’re using some third-party parts list you found online, you’re playing a dangerous game. I’ve watched techs burn hours on wrong caliper brackets and brake liners that don’t fit. This is the original Cub Cadet 147 Parts Catalog – 67 pages of factory-fresh part numbers, straight from the IH engineering department.

Brakes & Connections: What the Catalog Covers

The brakes section is four pages – pages 3 through 6 in the document. You get every part number for the caliper assembly, levers, rods, and the liner kit. Page 4 lists the caliper assy (IH-57953-C91) and the individual components like the actuator cam plate (IH-530673-R1) and the carrier plates. Note the “~NLA” tags on the brake rod and the pedal assembly. If you need those, you’ll have to find NOS. The catalog also tells you which hardware is common – the 3/8-16 screws and 3/8 lock washers are meant to be purchased locally. That alone saves you a dealer markup.

Carburetor Section – 1 Page of Critical Details

Page 5 shows the carburetor breakdown with 31 reference numbers. You get the part numbers for the bowl, jets, throttle shaft, and gaskets. If you’re rebuilding a carb on a 147, this is the list you need. Aftermarket carb kits often skip a seal or include wrong float valves. This catalog gives you the exact IH part numbers so you can cross-reference or order direct.

Does This Parts Catalog Include Torque Specs?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. You won’t find torque values or assembly steps. But if you’re torquing a brake caliper bracket or a carburetor mounting bolt, you need the correct fastener. The catalog tells you the thread size and grade (e.g., 3/8-16 x 1-1/4 cap screw, 3/8-24 UNF for the caliper bushing). Use that info to look up the torque spec from a service manual. Don’t skip that step.

67 Pages of Factory Part Numbers

Sixty-seven pages covering the whole Cub Cadet 147. Battery holder, brakes, carburetor, electrical, drivetrain – it’s all here. Each page has a clear illustrated diagram with reference numbers that match the part table. The column format includes part number, quantity, description, and an S/P/F code indicating service or production use. You’ll also find notes on superseded parts and where to buy common hardware locally. Aftermarket catalogs rarely show that level of detail.

Get the Right Part Numbers – Why OEM Documentation Wins

I’ve seen aftermarket parts websites list a part as “replaces IH-528629-R1” when the actual supersession is IH-528629-R2. That means you install the wrong brake lever and the pedal doesn’t return. This catalog is the original Cub Cadet printed document, not a reprint or a scanned third-party copy. Every number is verified by the manufacturer. If you need other models, check the Cub Cadet 21121C29025 Parts Catalog – 73 Pages of Factory Specs, the Cub Cadet 984 Parts Catalog A-Frame Hitch Adapter, or the Cub Cadet 81 21121C290248 Parts Manual.

Stop guessing part numbers. Access the Factory Manual and get the exact numbers Cub Cadet intended.

Does this catalog show how to remove the brake caliper?

No. It lists parts only. Use the service manual for removal steps.

How are part numbers formatted and how do I order?

Each part has a reference number, a Cub Cadet part number, quantity, and description. For example, on page 4, the brake lever is IH-528629-R1. Use that number at a dealer or online. The catalog also notes if parts are NLA (no longer available) or superseded. Always cross-check with the dealer. The S/P/F column indicates service parts. This catalog also shows which hardware is common and can be purchased locally, saving you dealer markup. The liner kit IH-544835-R91 includes rivets and spring – order that instead of individual liner. That kind of detail prevents ordering wrong stuff.
