Cub Cadet 2182 Parts Catalog

You have a Cub Cadet 2182 on the lift and you need a part number for the air cleaner cover. The aftermarket sites want to sell you a generic “fits many models” assembly that never lines up right. That costs you time and money. This Cub Cadet 2182 Parts Catalog is the factory-issued document that tells you exactly which OEM part number goes where, with exploded views that show every washer and bolt. 118 pages of no-guess parts identification.

Air Cleaner Assembly – Page 1 Breakdown

The catalog opens with the air cleaner section. Page 1 lists the complete assembly: part number KB-19488-11010 for the air cleaner assy, the body, element (KB-70000-11221), wing bolt, washer with rubber, cover, gasket, and all hardware. The exploded diagram shows 27 referenced items, including the ether caution label (KB-19426-87900) and two hose clamps (726-3033). If you need to rebuild the intake system on your 2182, this page shows exactly what you need to order.

Alternator Assembly – Page 3 Exploded Views

Alternator work on these tractors can be touchy. Page 3 gives you the full alternator assembly breakdown: rotor assy (KB-15531-64122), pulley, stator assy (KB-15531-64363), ball bearings (KB-08121-06201), and all collars and spacers. The S/P/F column tells you which parts are service items (S), available as parts only (P), or found on factory assemblies (F). That little detail keeps you from ordering a whole alternator when only the bearing is shot.

Alternator Mounting & Fan – Page 5 Hardware List

The mounting section on page 5 covers the bracket, fan shaft, and hardware. You get the reference numbers for the mounting bolts, washers, and the fan itself. If your 2182 is squealing or the alternator belt is off, having the correct bracket and pulley part numbers saves a return trip to the dealer.

S/N Range 800,000–816,535 – Why It Matters

This catalog is locked to serial number range 800,000 to 816,535. Cub Cadet changed parts between production runs. Ordering a part for a later 2182 might bolt up wrong. The catalog explicitly tells you which air cleaner, alternator, and mounting hardware fits your specific tractor. Don’t guess based on model year alone.

3 Ways This Parts Catalog Saves Time on a Job

First, you get the exact part number – no cross-referencing aftermarket lookups that sometimes work, sometimes don’t. Second, the exploded diagrams show stack-up order: you see if the lock washer goes before the flat washer. Third, the S/P/F column flags what you can buy separately vs. what only comes in a subassembly. That alone lets you fix a broken bracket without ordering a complete alternator.

How the Reference Number and Part Number System Works

Each diagram has a “Ref #” that points to a row with the part number, quantity, description, and service code. The 118 pages cover every major system from engine to chassis. Need an alternator rotor? Look up the alternator section, find ref #2, order KB-15531-64122. No third-party guessing.

Using aftermarket parts books is a gamble. I’ve seen a DIY guy order a $200 alternator for a 2182 only to find the pulley diameter was off. The factory catalog eliminates that because every dimension is baked into the drawing. The Cub Cadet 2182 Parts Catalog is the real deal: original OEM data, not a reprint from a discount site.
