Cub Cadet 46 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Parts Breakdown for the 465 Diesel 4X4

I’ve lost count how many times a misidentified part has cost a shop half a day and a customer a return trip. An aftermarket parts list might get you close, but close doesn’t bolt up. This Cub Cadet 46 Parts Catalog runs 71 pages of factory-sourced breakdowns for the 465 Diesel 4X4 Utility Vehicle (S/N 11029Z & after). Every screw, bracket, harness, and lamp is listed with its original part number, quantity, and assembly reference. That matters when you’re staring at a torn wiring harness and the parts counter needs a number that starts with 725-.

Battery & Dash Panel Accessories – What the Parts Catalog Reveals

Page 1 of the catalog lays out the battery and dash panel accessories for the 465 Diesel 4X4. You get reference numbers for the battery bracket (707-04870A-0637), the 450 CCA wet battery (925-04514), and the 4-position key switch (925-1741). The PDF also notes diesel-specific parts like the yellow LED indicator light (925-04285) versus the Kohler EFI incandescent lamp. If you’re working on a unit with the optional 4×4 rocker switch, that part number is 725-04352. Small details like which screw type (TT 5/16-18 x .500) goes where keep you from grabbing the wrong fastener bin.

Cargo Bed Assembly: Part Numbers and Color Options

Starting on page 3, the cargo bed section breaks down every component: tailgate assembly, bed latch lever, and the bed box itself. The part numbers change by color – black, red, green, Cub Yellow. Tailgate assembly part 607-04159B-0637 is black, while 607-04159B-4021 is Cub Yellow. The same logic applies to the bed box assembly (607-04191C-0637 for black, etc.). If you’re replacing a damaged bed, ordering by color code saves a paint job.

OEM vs Aftermarket: The Difference in Part Accuracy

An aftermarket online database might list the battery tray for a 465, but it won’t show you that the fuel relay, glow plug timer, and fuel timer all mount to the radiator shroud with four self-tapping screws. That note is printed at the bottom of page 1. Factory catalogs include those assembly notes because engineers wrote them. Aftermarket compilers skip them. When you’re under the dash in a shop in San Antonio heat, that note saves you fifteen minutes of hunting for a mounting bracket that doesn’t exist.

Matching Part Numbers to Serial Number Ranges

This catalog covers the 465 Diesel 4X4 with serial number 11029Z and after. Earlier units may use different components. The PDF also notes where parts vary between diesel-only units and Kohler EFI units. For example, the wire harness for the Yanmar diesel (725-04759) is not the same harness used on the Kohler EFI (725-04840). If you order without checking the serial number, you’ll get a harness that doesn’t reach the ECU. That’s a waste of everyone’s time.

71 Pages of Factory Data – What You Get

The catalog covers the battery/dash area, cargo bed, and other major assemblies. Every page lists reference numbers, part numbers, quantities, and service parts/finished parts indicators (S/P/F). You also get the original supplier contact info and the mymowerparts.com licensing. No guessing which fastener finishes are needed – lock washers (736-0607) are called out for diesel units. Page counts matter because a 12-page aftermarket cheat sheet cannot match the depth of 71 factory-sourced pages. Think about that the next time a bolt rattles loose because you used the wrong thread-locker spec.

Which Technician Needs This Catalog?

If you maintain a fleet of Cub Cadet utility vehicles. If you’re a small engine shop that sees 465 Diesels come through the door. If you own one of these machines and want to order replacement parts without paying dealer markup on the wrong part. The catalog doesn’t teach you how to rebuild an engine, but it gives you the bone-stock part numbers that let you order confidently. Pair it with a factory service manual for full overhaul procedures. For related documentation, see the Cub Cadet 21121C29025 Parts Catalog – 73 Pages of Factory Specs or the Cub Cadet 984 Parts Catalog – 128 Pages of OEM Factory Parts Breakdowns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this catalog cover the Kohler EFI units?

Yes. Items with “Kohler EFI Units Only” are noted in the description column.

How do I know which part number fits my 465 Diesel?

Start by checking your serial number – this catalog applies to S/N 11029Z & after. Then identify the assembly you’re working on (e.g., battery dash, cargo bed). Locate the exploded diagram page and find the reference number. Cross-reference that number in the parts list to get the OEM part number. Pay attention to color suffixes and diesel vs. Kohler EFI notes. If the list shows multiple variants (e.g., tailgate assembly with different color codes), pick the one that matches your vehicle’s color. If you’re unsure, call the discount parts supplier listed in the catalog – their number is printed on every page. The catalog also includes “If Equipped” markers for optional items like the 4×4 rocker switch, so check your machine’s configuration before ordering.

Access the Factory Manual and get the exact part numbers your 465 Diesel needs. No second guesses, no returns on wrong parts – just factory data that lines up with what’s on your lift.
