Cub Cadet 1572 Parts Catalog – Factory Part Numbers You Can Trust

I’ve seen guys order a new air cleaner assembly three times because they trusted a generic catalog. That’s wasted time and money. For the Cub Cadet 1572, you need the Cub Cadet 1572 Parts Catalog – the same 117-page bound reference the dealers used. This isn’t a reprint or a scanned knockoff. It’s the original factory PDF, covering serial numbers 756,300 through 799,999. You get exploded diagrams, genuine part numbers, and quantities. No guesswork.

Air Cleaner Assembly Parts Breakdown (Page 2)

Flip to page 2 and you’ll find the air cleaner and connections section. The catalog lists the complete air cleaner assembly as part number KB-15372-11010. It breaks down every piece – the element (KB-70000-11221), the wing bolt (KB-15221-92620), the cover gasket (KB-15221-11170). Each component has its own reference number and a column that tells you if it’s serviced separately or as part of a group. That’s the kind of detail aftermarket manuals omit. You need that when you’re trying to figure out why your intake hose (735-3018) doesn’t seat right.

Serial Number Range and Model Specifics

This catalog is built for the 1572 with serial numbers 756,300 up to 799,999. Cub Cadet made changes during production – different brackets, different fasteners. Using a generic list for a 1572 built outside that range means you might order a part that won’t fit. The catalog explicitly states the range on every page header. I’ve seen mechanics skip that and end up with a washer that’s two millimeters too thin. Check your serial plate before you order.

Why OEM Part Numbers Matter

Aftermarket parts catalogs often substitute generic descriptions like “air cleaner element” and leave you guessing which one fits. This catalog gives you the exact seven-digit Cub Cadet part number – KB-15372-11010 for the air cleaner assembly, for instance. That number matches the parts counter computer at any dealer. You can call 606-678-9623 or 606-561-4983 (the numbers printed on every page) and order with confidence. No returns, no wrong boxes.

What This Catalog Covers (and What It Doesn’t)

This is a parts catalog – not a service manual. It won’t tell you how to rebuild the engine or set valve lash. What it gives you is the fastest way to identify the correct bolt, gasket, hose, or bracket for your Cub Cadet 1572. The exploded diagrams show exactly how everything stacks together. The alternator section (page 5) lists components like the stator and regulator. If you’re pairing this with a service manual, you save hours of hunting for part numbers.

3 Reasons to Use Factory Documentation

First, the diagrams are drawn to scale – you can visually match the part you’re holding. Second, the part numbers are verified against Cub Cadet’s own supersession records. Third, you avoid the frustration of a bad fit that costs you a Saturday afternoon. I’ve been wrenching for 28 years and I still pull a factory catalog before I trust a third-party site. The Automotive Industry Overview has plenty of stories about shops losing money on wrong parts – don’t be that shop. (Link also available here: Automotive Industry Overview)

FAQ – Cub Cadet 1572 Parts Catalog

Does this catalog cover the diesel model of the 1572?

The catalog is for the 1572 chassis within that serial range. It covers the engine-specific components listed in the air cleaner, alternator, and other sections. If your 1572 has a diesel, the air intake parts should match. Check the serial number against the range.

Are torque specifications included?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers and quantities only. You need a separate service manual for torque values.

How do I know if my serial number is within the range?

Look at the plate on the frame or near the engine. If it falls between 756,300 and 799,999, this catalog matches. If it’s outside, the parts may differ.

Can I print this PDF?

Yes. The digital access is a standard PDF – you can print pages as needed. The file is 117 pages total.

Look, you don’t need another generic parts list that leaves you holding the wrong bolt. You need the factory document that the Cub Cadet dealers used. 117 pages, original OEM content, clear diagrams, and real part numbers. Access the Factory Manual and get your 1572 back together with the right parts.
