Cub Cadet 364 2001 Parts Catalog

You’ve got a Cub Cadet 364 sitting in the shop with a deck that won’t engage. Somebody swapped parts from a different model and now nothing lines up. That’s exactly when you need the factory Cub Cadet 364 2001 Parts Catalog — not a photocopy, not a third-party scan, the original OEM print. This catalog packs 43 pages of exploded views and part numbers for the 364 series, built in 2001. Eliminate guesswork. Avoid mismatched hardware.

44″ Deck Assembly Breakdown

Page 2 shows the complete 44″ deck assembly with every component numbered from 1 to 70. You get the extension spring (732-0556), the hex nut 1/4-20 (712-3006), the spindle bolt 3/4-16 x 5.215 (710-1693), and every washer, spacer, and pulley in between. This is what you need when rebuilding a deck that’s been cobbled together. The diagram tells you exactly which part goes where and which part number to order. Aftermarket catalogs omit reference numbers or transpose digits. This one doesn’t.

Why the OEM Parts Catalog Beats Aftermarket Copies

Aftermarket parts lists are often rekeyed from a worn-out copy. They miss reference numbers or substitute generic descriptions. The Automotive Industry Overview reminds us that OEM spec adherence separates a safe repair from a liability. This catalog came straight from Cub Cadet in 2001. You see the original part numbers, quantities, and the S/P/F codes that tell you if a part is superseded, prior, or factory stock. Use a copied catalog and you might order a belt half an inch too short.

How to Read the Exploded Diagram

Look at page 2 again. The diagram spreads the deck assembly across a grid of reference numbers. Each number links to a row in the table that gives you the part number, description, quantity, and a serviceability code. For example, reference 7 is belt 754-3091, reference 51 is belt 754-3039. Different lengths, different applications. Follow the reference numbers in sequence to disassemble the deck in the correct order. No need to reverse-engineer the layout.

3 Checks Before You Order a Single Part

First, verify the part number against the hardware you removed. Second, check the quantity column — some assemblies use multiple identical parts. Third, note the S/P/F code. An “S” means the part is still available from Cub Cadet. A “P” means it’s a prior version and may have been superseded. This catalog lists the original part, so cross reference with current Cub Cadet parts lookup if needed. Do those three checks and you won’t end up with a box of wrong fasteners.

Part Numbers and Fastener Specs

Every bolt, nut, and washer is listed with its thread size and length. The spindle bolt (reference 37) is a 3/4-16 x 5.215 — critical for getting the correct torque later. The catalog doesn’t provide torque specs, but knowing the exact fastener grade lets you look up the correct tightening sequence in the service manual. Page 3 continues with remaining deck hardware, including the blade (742-3036) and blade spacer (748-3020). Don’t guess fastener specs. Use this catalog to confirm.

Does this catalog include the engine parts?

No, this is strictly the chassis and deck parts catalog.

Can I use this to identify replacement spindles for a 44″ deck?

Yes. The spindle assembly is reference number 52, part number 618-3129. The exploded diagram shows the spindle in relation to the deck mounting plate, idler assembly, and blade. You can see the bearing (741-0524) and snap ring (716-3020) that hold the spindle together. With this catalog, you can order the correct spindle and all associated hardware — spindle bolt, flange nut, lock washer — without disassembling the deck first. Just make sure your deck is the 44″ version. The catalog is model-specific to the 364 from 2001.
