Cub Cadet 2206 Parts Catalog – 70 Pages of Factory Parts Breakdown

If you have ever ordered a part for a Cub Cadet 2206 from a generic website and ended up with the wrong air cleaner gasket or a fuel line that doesn’t fit, you know the wasted time. I have seen guys spend an hour on the phone with a parts counter because the aftermarket cross-reference was off by one digit. That stops here. The factory Cub Cadet 2206 Parts Catalog gives you the exact same part numbers the assembly line used. 70 pages of exploded diagrams, ref numbers, and OEM descriptions. No reprints, no third-party interpretation.

Air Intake and Filtration: Get the Right Kohler Parts

Pages 1–2 of this catalog cover the entire air intake system for the Kohler engine. Every part right down to the seal, the wing nut (KH-12-100-01), and the intake manifold gasket (KH-24-041-01) is listed with its factory quantity and service part status. Need a new precleaner element? The catalog says Ref #8, part KH-24-083-02, one per tractor. That is not a guess – that is a direct print from the Cub Cadet engineering drawing. You can cross-check the gasket thickness and the screw length (M6 x 1.0 x 55) without leaving the shop.

Battery, Electrical Components and Switches – 27 Reference Numbers

The electrical section on pages 3–4 lays out the main wire harness (629-3068), the ignition switch (725-3163), the 25-amp fuses, and the interlock safety switches. Each component gets its own ref number and a service/supersede column. This is the kind of detail that keeps you from ordering a seat switch that is normally open when you needed normally closed (Snap Mount – Normally Closed, Ref #20). If you are swapping the PTO switch or the hour meter, you have the factory part and the mounting hardware right there.

Blower Housing and Baffles: Avoid Cooling System Failures

Page 5 shows the blower housing and baffles assembly. Overheated engines often trace back to missing or bent baffles. The catalog lists each baffle, screw, and grommet. You can match the sheet metal profile to the factory drawing. A missing baffle on a 2206 will cause the engine to run hot under heavy mowing. This manual gives you the part number to order the correct replacement – not a universal sheet metal piece that leaves gaps.

3 Reasons to Use Factory Part Numbers Every Time

One: The catalog includes the S/P/F column – S for service, P for premium, F for fail. That tells you if a part is a standard replacement or a upgraded revision. Two: Every screw, nut, and washer has a thread size and length. No more guessing M6 vs ¼-20. Three: The exploded diagrams show orientation. You see exactly how the inner air cleaner cover (Ref #6) fits inside the outer cover. One wrong stack order and dirt gets past the filter. This catalog prevents that.

Why an OEM Parts Catalog Beats Aftermarket Lists

Aftermarket parts catalogs often renumber parts into their own system, and the cross-reference is never perfect. I have seen a generic list call for a 5/16-18 nut when the factory used a 5/16-24. That difference strips threads. This Cub Cadet 2206 Parts Catalog is scanned from the original factory print. The part numbers start with KH (Kohler) or standard Cub Cadet prefixes like 725-xxxx. Every number matches the parts you see at a Cub Cadet dealer. If you call Discount Cub Cadet Parts at 606-678-9623 with these numbers, they know exactly what you need. That is the value of an original OEM document.

What does the S/P/F column mean?

S means service part, P means premium (upgraded), F means fail – indicating a part that may be superseded. It helps you choose the best replacement.
