Cub Cadet 1710, 682 Parts Catalog – OEM Spec Sheet for 109 Pages

Description

Hands off the wrench if you haven’t got the right part number. I’ve seen guys pull a carburetor, order a rebuild kit based on a website’s dropdown, then spend a week waiting for the wrong gasket set because they guessed the model variant. The Cub Cadet 1710 and 682 tractors share a lot, but not everything. That Air Cleaner & Breather assembly on page 3? It splits by serial number range – 669971 & Up vs 669970 & Down. You order the wrong elbow, you’re drilling holes in a new part. Cub Cadet 1710, 682 Parts Catalog is 109 pages of factory part numbers, exploded diagrams, and the exact IH and Kohler part references that tell you what goes where and when.

Parts Identification: What the 109 Pages Cover

This catalog breaks down each assembly into exploded views. Page 1 shows the A-Frame Hitch Adapter for serial number 720000 & Up. It lists pins, bolts, nuts, and even the IH-106998-C1 Pin with quantity and service parts flag. Page 3 dives into the Air Cleaner & Breather system for tractors serial number 669971 & Up. The part numbers come from both International Harvester (IH-) and Kohler (KH-) prefixes. You get the factory part number, description, quantity per assembly, and whether it’s a service part (S) or frequently replaced (S/P/F). That level of detail is what keeps you from ordering a complete air cleaner base when you only need the gasket (KH-277093).

Why a Factory Parts Catalog Beats Aftermarket

Aftermarket parts databases sometimes use generic descriptions. This catalog gives you the exact IH part number, like 736-0921 Washer, 1/2 Lock. An aftermarket cross-reference might say “lock washer 1/2” but skip the grade. The A-Frame Hitch specifies Nut, 5/8 Jam Type 5 – that Type 5 denotes a specific hardness and thread. Bolt a hitch with a soft nut and you risk a loose connection. The factory manual also notes “Common Hardware, Purchase Locally” for some items (like nut 4 on page 2), telling you it’s a standard part you can source anywhere. That distinction saves you money.

3 Systems You Can Order Parts For

The catalog covers multiple systems across its 109 pages. Here are three visible from the opening sections:

1. A-Frame Hitch Adapter – page 1 includes pins, bolts, plates, and a quick-attachable cotters package.
2. Air Cleaner & Breather (Tractor S/N 669971 & Up) – page 3 includes the precleaner element, air cleaner element, gaskets, valve covers, and breather kit (KH-52-755-09).
3. Air Cleaner & Breather (Tractor S/N 669970 & Down) – page 5 covers the earlier design with different elbows and seals.

Each system is broken down into individual components with reference numbers matching the diagrams. You don’t guess which elbow fits your serial number – the manual tells you.

Using the Manual: Real-World Shop Scenario

Suppose a 682 comes in with a rough idle. You check the air cleaner – the element looks dirty. You grab the catalog, turn to page 3. The element part number is 759-3359. But wait – the previous owner might have swapped the air cleaner base from a 1710. The manual shows two different intake elbows depending on serial number. You verify the tractor’s serial number (say 686555) and see it uses KH-52-054-15 Elbow. The gasket under that elbow is KH-277069. You order the correct parts. That’s the difference between a one-hour job and a two-week return process. The catalog also lists the breather kit (KH-52-755-09) which includes the umbrella valve – a common failure point on Kohler engines. Order the kit, not individual pieces. The part number is right there. For a similar model with more pages, see Cub Cadet 984 Parts Catalog – 128 Pages of OEM Factory Parts Breakdowns.

Source Authenticity: OEM Print, Not a Third-Party Copy

This is a scanned copy of the factory Cub Cadet parts catalog. The original dealer network stamped “For Discount Cub Cadet Parts Call 606-678-9623” on each page. That’s the real McCoy. The part numbers are direct from International Harvester and Kohler, not translated through a third-party data aggregator. Aftermarket reprints often lose resolution on the diagrams or misalign reference numbers. The 109 pages here are clear, legible, and paginated exactly as the original.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Parts Catalog and a Service Manual?

A parts catalog gives part numbers; a service manual gives repair procedures.

Does this manual include wiring diagrams?

No, this is a parts catalog. It focuses on identifying components and their OEM part numbers. Wiring diagrams are typically found in a separate service manual. If you need electrical diagnostics, look for the Cub Cadet 682 or 1710 service manual. The parts catalog here helps you order the correct switch or connector once you’ve identified the fault using a schematic. That said, the parts catalog does list electrical components like switches and harnesses if they appear in the assembly views. But don’t expect color-coded wiring layouts.

Can I use this catalog for a 682 built in 1985?

Yes, the catalog covers both 1710 and 682 models across serial number ranges. Pay attention to the serial number notes on each page.

How do I find a part number if I don’t know the assembly name?

The catalog is organized by assembly groups. Look in the table of contents or flip through the pages. Each page has a header indicating the system, like ‘Air Cleaner & Breather’. If you can’t find it, the manual includes a numerical index of part numbers at the back (usually). For this edition, check the last few pages for the part number cross-reference.

You’ve seen the difference between guessing parts and using the OEM breakdown. This catalog gets you the exact part number every time. Access the Factory Manual and keep it on the bench next to your torque wrench.
