Cub Cadet 5264DL Parts Catalog

You have a 5264DL on the lift and you need an alternator pulley, a kingpin housing, or that left-hand steering arm. Without the factory Cub Cadet 5264DL Parts Catalog you are guessing against a parts cannon. I have watched guys order a BS-820703 brush cover three times before they realize the first two were the wrong revision. This 77-page document ends that.

Alternator Exploded View: What You Get on Pages 1-2

Pages 1 and 2 break down the alternator into 27 individual parts. Every ref number points to a specific Cub Cadet part number. Need the adjusting strap? That is BS-820819. The rectifier screws are BS-820702. The catalog gives you the quantity per assembly and a column marked S/P/F (Service/Production/Fit). You do not have to cross-reference aftermarket websites and hope the threads match. The OEM part number is right there. That strap bolt? It is a BS-820023 screw. The catalog shows it is a screw, not a bolt, and you get the thread pitch without flipping to a separate hardware chart.

Axle Assembly 4WD: 40+ Part Numbers You Can Trust

Starting on page 3, the 4WD axle assembly covers over 40 components. Right and left drop housings (619-04020A and 619-04021A) are listed with S for service. The steering arms are separate left and right (619-04027A and 619-04028A). You get ball joints with specific thread directions: RH and LH. The bevel gears – 13T, 14T, 34T – each have their own part number. Oil seals are dimensioned (38 x 55 x 7 with dirt lip). This kind of detail keeps you from ordering a seal that is a millimeter off and blowing a bearing on the first run.

Does This Manual Cover Both LH and RH Steering Arms?

It does. The axle section on page 4 lists steering arm LH (ref #5) and steering arm RH (ref #6) with distinct part numbers. You also get the left-hand and right-hand ball joints, and the hex nuts with LH versus RH thread markings. If you try to rebuild a 5264DL front end with a generic cross-reference, you will end up with two identical arms and a steering bind you cannot diagnose. This catalog catches that before you order.

OEM vs Aftermarket: Why Factory Part Numbers Matter

Aftermarket parts catalogs often group left and right parts under one listing or skip the S/P/F notation. That S means the part is only available as a service replacement, not a production line part. If you order a production-only housing, you wait weeks while the dealer locates a service substitute. The Cub Cadet 5264DL Parts Catalog comes from the same source used by Cub Cadet dealers. The part numbers on page 2 for the alternator support bracket (BS-820213) and the spacer (BS-820713) are factory-verified. You will not see a third-party renumbering scheme. For a reality check on why OEM documentation beats reprints, read the Automotive Industry Overview on parts traceability. Then compare that to any aftermarket catalog that lumps all alternator components under one line item.

7 Systems Cataloged – From Alternator to Axle

Across 77 pages, the catalog covers the alternator, 4WD front axle assembly, and at least five other major systems (steering linkages, brake components, deck drive, electrical, and hydrostatic drive). Each section uses an exploded diagram with numbered balloons that key to the parts list. The format is consistent: ref #, part number, quantity, description, S/P/F. If you have ever stood at a parts counter with a broken bolt in hand and a blurry photocopy, you know how much time this saves.

Use the Ref # and Part Number System Correctly

Every diagram number matches a row in the table. Do not look at the picture and guess – read the ref # from the balloon, then find that row. The part numbers for the alternator start with “BS-” and the axle parts start with “619-“, “711-“, etc. That prefix tells you the manufacturer or family. If you need a nut that is not listed in the hardware section, check the assembly table: ref #25 on page 2 is a nut for the alternator pulley, part number BS-820705. Do not substitute a standard M10 nut because the pitch is different. The catalog gives you the exact fastener.

If you maintain multiple Cub Cadet tractors, those are worth having open on the same tablet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the catalog include torque specifications for bolts?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers and quantities, not torque values. You still need the factory service manual for reassembly torque on components like the kingpin housing bolts (M10-1.5 x 35 GR8.8). However, having the exact part number for the bolt (710-1313) means you can look up the torque in the service manual without guessing the bolt grade.

How do I find the part number for the alternator rotor?

Page 2, ref #12: BS-825390.

What does the S/P/F column mean on the parts list?

It indicates service (S), production (P), or fit (F) usage. An “S” means the part is available as a service replacement. “P” means production line only – you may need to order through a dealer or use a superseded part. “F” is a fit item used during assembly but not normally sold separately. Ignoring this column leads to ordering parts that cannot be sold over the counter. Pay attention to it on page 4 where many axle components are marked S.

Can I use this catalog on a smartphone in the shop?

Yes. The PDF is 77 pages and works on any device. Zoom in on the exploded diagrams to read part numbers. Print specific pages for greasy hands. Keep the full catalog on a tablet next to the service manual.

You do not need to waste a day hunting down a part that might fit. The Cub Cadet 5264DL Parts Catalog gives you the exact number from the factory. Access the Factory Manual and get the right parts on order before lunch.
