Cub Cadet 1912, 2112 1912 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Parts Manual

Listen, I’ve seen a lot of guys order parts for their Cub Cadet 1912 or 2112 and end up with the wrong filter, wrong gasket, wrong bolt, and then swear the tractor is cursed. It’s not cursed. You used a bad parts list. That’s where this Cub Cadet 1912, 2112 1912 Parts Catalog comes in. This is an original factory parts catalog – 128 pages of official part numbers, exploded diagrams, and cross-references. Not a scanned guess. Not an aftermarket rewrite. This is the same book the dealer used.

Air Cleaner & Intake Manifold – Page 3 & Page 4

On page 3 you get the Air Cleaner and Intake Manifold overview – blower housing, filter cover, intake tube. Page 4 gives you the real meat: every single part number for the air cleaner assembly. Need a gasket between the carb and adapter? That’s part ME-154-0733 on page 4. The wing nut? 712-3044. I’ve been torquing bolts for 28 years, and I tell you, having the exact part number in your hand when you call the parts counter saves you an hour of “It’s the thingy next to the whatsit.” The catalog even flags /P and /S for service parts and special order. No guessing.

A-Frame Hitch Adapter – Page 2

Page 2 breaks down the A-Frame Hitch Adapter. You get the stabilizer plate (BR-H-158), the sleeve pin (BR-H-130P-01), and the quick-attachable cotters package (BR-D-146P). Nut, 5/8 Jam Type? 712-3015. Two of ’em. This is the kind of detail you need when you’re welding up a hitch or replacing worn pins. Without this, you’re trial-fittings cutoffs. With it, you order once.

Part Numbers and Cross-References

Each exploded view ties ref numbers to part numbers and descriptions. The manual uses “S/P/F” columns to tell you if the part is serviceable, production, or factory. The OEM part numbers start with IH, ME, BR, or 710/712/736 prefixes – all genuine Cub Cadet / International Harvester lineage. I trust these numbers because they come from the factory floor, not a third-party copycat. Aftermarket catalogs often swap superseded parts without telling you. This catalog shows the original.

Why Factory Parts Catalog?

Aftermarket parts lists are garbage for older tractors. They combine models, skip revisions, and omit critical hardware like lock washers or specific bolts. This factory Parts Catalog for the Cub Cadet 1912 and 2112 includes every bolt, washer, grommet, and bracket. Page 4 shows a screw #10-32 X 1-1/2 (IH-78650-C1). The aftermarket might list “screw, 1/4 inch” – that’s not the same. You need the exact thread and length. This catalog gives that.

Who Needs This Catalog?

Home garage enthusiasts restoring a 1912 or 2112. Mechanics who want to order the right air filter on the first call. Beginners who are terrified of buying the wrong part and wasting money. If you’re assembling a tractor from a basket case, you need this book on your bench – not a pdf on your phone that you zoom in and out on. The 128 pages cover everything from the A-frame hitch to the blower housing, air cleaner, and manifold. I’ve used factory parts catalogs for 30 years. They never lie.

Does this catalog include the engine block or transmission internals?

No. This is a parts catalog focused on the A-frame hitch, air cleaner, intake manifold, and blower housing. It does not cover the engine short block, transmission gears, or electrical system. Those require separate service manuals.

How do I verify that the part number on the page matches my tractor’s serial number?

This catalog is written for the Cub Cadet 1912 and 2112 models produced in that era. While it lists factory original part numbers, you should cross-reference against your tractor’s serial number plate because field upgrades and production changes happened. The catalog gives you the base reference – but always check supersession data if you have a later-build machine. Many parts remained the same, but some bolts and gaskets changed. If you’re unsure, call a Cub Cadet dealer with the part number from this manual and your serial number. That two-step check will keep you from ordering a throttle cable that doesn’t fit.
