Cub Cadet 76 Parts Catalog – Get the Correct Brake Parts

If you’re working on a Cub Cadet 76 and you’re staring at a heap of rusty brake parts wondering which thrust washer goes where, you’re not alone. I’ve been turning wrenches for 28 years and I still don’t trust aftermarket parts lists that show vague images and no part numbers. This factory Cub Cadet 76 Parts Catalog is the only breakdown you should be using. It’s 60 pages of indexed part numbers, exploded views, and a full brake assembly diagram that saves you the headache of ordering the wrong retaining ring or missing that one bushing that keeps the cam centered. Let’s walk through what’s inside and why this beats any third-party list you’ll find online.

Cub Cadet 76 Parts Catalog – The Brake Assembly in Detail

Page 2 of the catalog lays out the entire brake assembly for the 76. You get a clean exploded view with reference numbers and exact part numbers. For example, the brake pad kit (759-3393) includes the brake assy (ref 1), the split bushing (ref 8, qty 2), and the rib plate assy (ref 10). The catalog also lists the disc & hub assy (761-3001), the Woodruff key (714-0868), and the foot pedal assy (IH-538866-R1). Every piece is accounted for. If you need a replacement cam or actuator plate, they’re right there on page 2 – no guessing.

I’ve seen guys order a generic brake pad kit and then find the return spring doesn’t match. With this catalog, you know exactly which spring you need – HH-A-06-03314 for the return, and HH-C-18-02434 for the cam. The part numbers are all there. Cross-reference them against your stock before you call a dealer.

What Parts Numbers Are Actually OEM?

Every number in this catalog comes straight from Cub Cadet’s original factory documentation. That means the brake pad kit 759-3393 is the same number Cub Cadet stamped on the box. Aftermarket catalogs often swap numbers or group parts differently. I’ve had it happen: a customer brings me a “compatible” brake kit that uses a different thrust washer thickness, and then the pedal doesn’t return. Waste of time. Stick with the OEM numbers from this 60-page manual and you’ll get the right stuff.

The catalog also includes service notes like “Order brake pad kit 759-3393” right alongside the parts table. That’s the kind of detail you don’t get from a parts website listing generic images.

60 Pages of Factory-Indexed Parts

Sixty pages might not sound like a lot for a whole tractor, but every page is dense with part numbers, quantities, and descriptions. Beyond the brake section, the catalog covers the drawbar, engine mount, hood, grille, and frame (page 5). You’ll find the clutch & brake pedal assy, foot pedal lever, extension spring, and even the Woodruff key for the hub. Each section gives you an exploded view with callouts so you can visually identify what you need. No flipping through fuzzy scans – this is clear, original factory print.

For context, the wider world of agricultural equipment documentation has its own standards. Check out Automotive Industry Overview on Wikipedia for a sense of how parts numbering evolved. Also refer to Automotive Industry Overview for historical background on parts catalogs. But for the Cub Cadet 76, this is the only source you need.

Order the Correct Brake Pad Kit

If you’re replacing brakes on a 76, don’t just order “brake pads for Cub Cadet 76.” Look at page 2. The brake pad kit (759-3393) includes three components: the brake assy, the split bushing (qty 2), and the rib plate assy. But note that the disc & hub assy (761-3001) is not in that kit. You need to order that separately if the disc is scored or the hub splines are worn. The catalog shows the Woodruff key (714-0868) that secures the hub to the shaft – a common overlooked part. Spending $5 on that key can save you a whole hub replacement later.

Other sections of the catalog help with the rest of the tractor. For example, the drawbar and frame section uses parts like the nut 712-0375 (3/8-16 Hex Cad Lock) and the pin 715-0134. If you’re rebuilding the whole machine, get the full catalog. It’s only 60 pages, but every page is a time-saver.

Drawbar, Engine Mount, Hood, Grille & Frame: Another Section

Page 5 of the catalog covers the drawbar, engine mount, hood, grille, and frame. That’s a lot of hardware in one page, but it’s clearly laid out with reference numbers. The pedal assy, foot pedal brake lever, and extension spring are all there. If you need the clutch spring, the catalog lists it as ~NLA (no longer available), so you know you’ll have to source an aftermarket option. That kind of honest documentation prevents you from chasing a part that doesn’t exist.

Does this manual include torque specs?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers and exploded views, not bolt torque values.

What models does it cover?

Only the Cub Cadet model 76. It does not cover the 70, 72, or 80 series.

Can I order parts directly from this catalog?

Yes, the catalog lists original Cub Cadet part numbers. You can use those numbers to order from any dealer or online supplier. For discount parts, the OCR excerpt shows a phone number: 606-678-9623 or 606-561-4983, but that’s from the original source – we don’t endorse any specific vendor.

How do I identify the correct brake pad kit?

Look at page 2 of the catalog. The brake pad kit is listed as part number 759-3393 and includes ref no. 1 (brake assy), ref no. 8 (bushing, split – qty 2), and ref no. 10 (plate assy, rib). If you order that kit, you get all three pieces. The catalog also shows that the disc & hub assy (761-3001) uses a Woodruff key (714-0868). Cross-reference these numbers before placing your order. Don’t rely on generic pictures – use the factory part numbers from this catalog. The exploded view makes it clear which parts go where, so you can verify you’re getting the right components.

Ending up with the wrong part on a Cub Cadet 76 can cost you a weekend. This factory catalog cuts that gamble. The brake assembly on page 2, the frame details on page 5 – it’s all there, organized the way Cub Cadet intended. If you need to order the correct brake parts for a Cub Cadet 76, don’t guess. Access the Factory Manual from AutoRepairManuals and get the exact part numbers from page 2 and beyond.
