Cub Cadet 46A 4X4 LE Parts Catalog – Stop Guessing, Start Building

I’ve lost count how many times a job went sideways because someone ordered the wrong control arm or a brake hose that didn’t match. On a Cub Cadet 46A 4X4 LE Parts Catalog, guesswork gets expensive fast. This isn’t a reprint or a third-party compilation—it’s the factory PDF that the dealership techs reference. 53 pages of exploded diagrams and exact part numbers. You want the right CV boot for the differential side? Page 2 shows you part 731-05082. Need the rear sway bar mount? Part 707-04655, right there. That level of precision is why I keep this file on my shop tablet.

Axles and Steering: Factory Breakdown

The first three pages cover the suspension and drivetrain layout. You get reference numbers for every nut, bolt, and bushing. The diff assembly (part 618-04236) is listed as a complete unit—no guessing whether you need the carrier or the ring gear separately. That saves an engine-out mistake. I’ve seen guys order a whole axle when all they needed was the seal (921-04005). This manual stops that. The exploded view ties each component to a specific reference number and a quantity column. If the drawing shows one sway bar mount, you order one, not two. Simple, but it eliminates returns.

53 Pages of Verified Part Numbers

Every single page in this Parts Catalog comes from Cub Cadet’s original engineering files. That means the screw grades are correct—3/8-16, grade 5, standard thread (710-0521) or the 3/8-18, grade 5 (710-04640). You won’t find a generic “bolt, M10” in here. The catalog gives you the exact thread pitch, length, and head type. When you’re rebuilding the rear control arm assembly, the last thing you want is a fastener that strips because you grabbed a Grade 2 instead of Grade 5. This catalog is your insurance policy.

What Makes This Different From Aftermarket Lists?

Aftermarket parts catalogs guess. They list a “universal” brake caliper that might fit your 46A 4X4 LE or might not. This manual lists the OEM caliper (part 761-04019) and even includes the brake pad kit (part 759-04116) that services one caliper. No cross‑referencing, no calling the supplier. You see the part, you order it. For a shop that bills by the hour, that cuts parts chasing in half. I’ve got a shelf full of “almost right” parts from aftermarket databases. This manual put a stop to that. Access it, print the axle section, and keep it on the bench.

One more thing about authenticity: the catalog includes the original contact line for Cub Cadet parts (606-678-9623). That’s not something a reprint house bothers with. It tells you this PDF came from the manufacturer’s distribution network. If you ever need to verify a supersession, that number gets you straight to a dealer who still stocks these parts. For a 2010‑era utility vehicle, that connection matters.

How to Use This Manual on the Job

Pull up the PDF on a tablet or print the relevant pages. Start with the exploded diagram for the system you’re working on. Find the part that’s broken or worn, note the reference number, then scan down the list for the corresponding part number. Order that exact number. When it arrives, confirm it against the drawing. That’s it. No measuring, no guessing thread pitch. If you’re doing a full axle rebuild, you’ll need the ring (hog) part 759-04173, the CV boot kit (731-05082 and 731-05083), and the axle assembly (611-04063A). All listed on page 2 with quantities. That’s the kind of clarity that keeps a job from turning into a three‑day headache.

For DIY guys working at home: treat this catalog like a map. Don’t order parts without the reference number. I’ve had customers bring me aftermarket control arms that were an inch too short because they guessed based on a photo. The factory drawing shows the pivot tube (750-04358B) and the control rod (747-04514) in their exact positions. You can measure your damaged part against the diagram. That’s precision a generic list can’t touch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this manual fit my 46A 4X4 LE with a serial number break after 2010?

The catalog covers the entire 46A 4X4 LE production run. No separate supplement needed.

How do I find the torque specs for the axle bolts in this catalog?

This is a parts catalog—it lists part numbers, not torque values. For torque specs you need the service manual. But having the correct bolt (1/2‑13 x 2.00, Grade 5, part 710‑0489) ensures the fastener can handle the specified torque without yielding. If you order that exact bolt, any torque value from the service manual (say 85 ft‑lbs for that size and grade) will be safe. Without the right part, you risk snapping a hardware‑store bolt. The catalog gets you the correct fastener first—then apply the shop manual torque. I keep both on hand. If you need the service manual, check our Cub Cadet 46A 4X4 LE Service Manual.
