Cub Cadet 2112 Parts Catalog – OEM Part Numbers & Exploded Views

Description

If you’re tearing down a Cub Cadet 2112 and you need the exact part number for a brake band lining, you’re looking at the wrong manual if it’s not the factory Parts Catalog. Aftermarket parts lists swap numbers, leave out superseded parts, and often skip the small fasteners that kill a rebuild. This is the OEM document — 73 pages of factory-stamped part numbers and exploded views. No guesswork, no calling the dealer three times.

We get calls every week from guys who ordered a “brake band” from a generic site and got the wrong width by an eighth of an inch. That’s time lost, and on a Cub Cadet 2112, the brakes are a shared clutch-brake pedal assembly — wrong part means the linkage doesn’t engage. The Brakes & Connections section (page 3 of the catalog) lists every pin, rivet, and spring with the exact Cub Cadet part number. You see item 11: Rivet, Brake Band Lining? That’s IH-355775-R1. You give that number to any Cub Cadet dealer, you get the right rivet.

Cub Cadet 2112 Parts Catalog: What You Get

73 pages of pure parts data. Not a service manual — this is the parts catalog. That means exploded diagrams for every assembly, reference numbers, part numbers, and quantities. You don’t get torque specs or R&R procedures here; you get the raw material list to order every fastener, bracket, and seal. For the 2112, the catalog covers Brakes & Connections, Battery Holder, and Carburetor in the pages we have digitized. If you need the battery hold-down clamp, it’s on page 2: part IH-376293-R2. You can cross-reference that against the service manual once you have the parts in hand.

Brakes & Connections: The Section That Saves You From Ordering Wrong Parts

The OCR excerpt shows the brakes list goes from Ref #1 (Pedal Assy, Clutch & Brake) all the way down to item 11 (Rivet, Brake Band Lining). There’s also a Brake Band Assy (IH-358753-R21) and a package of lining rivets (IH-358895-R91). If you’re rebuilding the brake system on your Cub Cadet 2112, you need every one of those part numbers. Aftermarket lists often group multiple parts under one vague number — this factory catalog splits them out. That’s the difference between a solid brake job and a loose band that drags.

One warning: some parts show ~NLA (No Longer Available). That’s reality. The catalog flags them so you know to look for superseded parts or salvage. Don’t waste time calling dealers for a part that’s NLA — the manual tells you upfront.

Why OEM Parts Catalogs Beat Aftermarket Lists

Aftermarket part sites pull numbers from multiple sources, merge them, and sometimes assign their own part numbers. You order based on a picture that might not match your year. With the factory Cub Cadet 2112 Parts Catalog, every number traces back to the original engineering release. The Battery Holder page shows IH-376294-R2 for the hold-down bolt and IH-376293-R2 for the clamp. Those are International Harvester legacy numbers that Cub Cadet carried over. If you give those to a dealer with access to the IH system, you get the correct fastener. No generic cross-reference will do that reliably.

For more background on why OEM documentation matters in the Automotive Industry Overview, you can read about how manufacturers standardize part numbering. The same principle applies to small tractors like the Cub Cadet line.

3 Small Parts That Can Stall Your Rebuild

Look at the Brakes & Connections table again. Items 5 and 6: a clevis (719-3018) and a cotter pin (714-0507). Those are cheap parts, but if you don’t have the clevis, the brake rod can’t connect to the pedal. Aftermarket catalogs often skip the cotter pin — they assume you’ll reuse the old one. But if it’s rusted and you break it on removal, you’re stuck. The catalog lists it. Order two.

Another one: the Carburetor section (page 5 of the catalog) shows 31 reference numbers. You’ll need the bowl gasket, the float needle, and the main jet. Generic carb kits often include parts that don’t fit the 2112’s specific carb. The OEM catalog gives you the original part numbers so you can buy genuine Cub Cadet parts or cross-reference with the aftermarket kit’s compatibility list. Don’t guess.

And the Battery Holder page: wing nut KH-X-276-7. That’s a 1/4-20 wing nut. You can buy that at any hardware store. But the catalog tells you exactly what thread and type. No fiddling.

Battery Holder Breakdown: Part Numbers You Need

Page 2 of the catalog lays out the battery hold-down system. Four parts total: two bolts (IH-376294-R2), two clamps (IH-376293-R2), two wing nuts (KH-X-276-7). That’s it. If your battery vibrates loose because the old clamp cracked, you know exactly what to order. No need to buy a whole battery tray assembly.

This is the kind of granular detail that saves hours. Instead of measuring and guessing, you open the catalog, write down the numbers, and place one order. That’s the value of a factory parts catalog.

How to Use This Parts Catalog on the Bench

Keep a printout or tablet next to you. When you disassemble a component, mark the reference numbers on the diagram. Bag and tag the old parts with the reference number from the catalog. Then order all new parts at once. The catalog groups parts by assembly — Brakes, Battery, Carburetor — so you can work one system at a time.

One more thing: this is the official Cub Cadet document, not a third-party reprint. The part numbers match what Cub Cadet dealers use. If you want to verify, call a dealer and read them the part number from the catalog. They’ll confirm it’s correct.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the catalog include engine internal parts like pistons and rings?

The catalog’s digitized sections cover Brakes & Connections, Battery Holder, and Carburetor. Engine internal parts are not shown in the current OCR data — you would need the full Cub Cadet 2112 parts catalog for that.

How do I use the part numbers to order from a dealer?

Each part in the catalog has a reference number on the diagram and a corresponding part number in the table. Example: on the Brakes & Connections page, Ref #10 is “Band Assy, Brake” with part IH-358753-R21. Write down that full part number along with any suffix (e.g., -R1, -R2). Take it to any Cub Cadet dealer or authorized parts distributor. They will look it up in their own Cub Cadet parts system — the number will match. Do not alter the part number or drop hyphens. If a part is marked ~NLA (No Longer Available), the dealer can tell you the superseded number. All part numbers are OEM Cub Cadet/International Harvester format. This catalog is the source — not an aftermarket conversion.
