Cub Cadet 7273 Parts Catalog – 168 Pages of Factory Part Numbers

You ever try to rebuild a three-point linkage on a Cub Cadet 7273 without a Parts Catalog? You end up with a pile of mismatched bolts and a tractor that sits. That’s where the factory Parts Catalog comes in. This is the same 168-page document the dealer uses when you call in for a part number. It’s not a service manual – it’s a parts breakdown. And if you’re ordering components, you need this.

3-Point Linkage Breakdown: Every Bracket and Pin

Page 1 of this catalog kicks off with the 3-point linkage assembly. You get an exploded view with reference numbers tied directly to OEM part numbers like MA-19643013AG0 (left bracket) and MA-19643007AG0 (lift rod). Each ref number links to a description – bolt size, washer quantity, even split pins. The catalog lists the exact hardware. Page 2 shows the full parts table for that same assembly. No guessing which rod goes where. You see left-hand rod, right-hand rod, check chain assemblies – all broken out. That saves you a trip to the dealer with a handful of rusty parts.

Air Cleaner Assembly: Avoiding Aftermarket Mix-Ups

Air cleaner sections often get screwed up when someone buys a generic filter kit. This catalog shows the exact case assembly (MA-19640511000), element (MA-10310511200), and the wing bolt (MA-37000306000). It also lists parts not used on this model – critical info when you’re staring at a box of wrong parts. If the manual says a hose is not used, don’t force it. That kind of factory clarity stops you from wasting money.

7 Systems Covered Across 168 Pages

Every major system on the 7273 gets its own section. Steering, brakes, engine mounting – the catalog covers them page by page. The exploded diagrams show how each component fits. Each part number is listed with quantity and description. You can walk through an entire assembly rebuild just by following the reference numbers. No need to disassemble everything first to see what you need.

Get the Right Part Number Every Time

Cross-referencing between assemblies is where most guys screw up. This catalog uses unique part numbers for each piece. The same bolt might appear in two sections, but the catalog lists it separately with the correct quantity for that assembly. If you’re ordering parts for the top link, you get the right turn buckle (MA-19643037AG0) without confusing it with a similar one from another linkage. That’s why OEM catalogs beat aftermarket lists – they’re model-specific and assembly-specific.

Source Authenticity: Why OEM Matters

Aftermarket part databases love to merge numbers from different models. That’s fine for a ballpark, but when you need a specific clevis pin for the 7273, you need the official Automotive Industry Overview doesn’t help – you need the Cub Cadet source. This catalog comes from the factory. The page header even shows a discount parts hotline (606-678-9623 or 606-561-4983) – that’s how you know it’s the real document dealers use. No third-party reprints. No scanned junk. This is the original PDF.

I’ve been turning wrenches for 28 years. I’ve seen guys order a right lift rod because they guessed the number. Then they wait a week for the wrong part. With this catalog, you read the exploded diagram, find the ref number, and order the part number listed. That’s it. Automotive Industry Overview might explain how tractors are built, but this catalog tells you how to get the right pieces for yours.

FAQ

Does this manual include service procedures?

Can I use these part numbers for other Cub Cadet models?

Not directly. Each model has its own specific part numbers. The 7273 uses unique brackets and linkages that differ from the 984 or 81 series.

Cross-referencing with other catalogs like Cub Cadet 984 Parts Catalog – 128 Pages of OEM Factory Parts Breakdowns or Cub Cadet 81, 21121C290248 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Breakdown can help but verify dimensions.
