Cub Cadet 80 Parts Catalog

You ever get a part in the mail and it doesn’t fit because someone swapped a bracket years ago? Or the dealer’s computer shows a number that doesn’t match your tractor? That’s why you need the actual factory breakdown. This Cub Cadet 80 Parts Catalog is the real deal – 62 pages of OEM schematics, not some aftermarket copy where someone guessed the part numbers.

Air Cleaner Assembly: What You Get on Page 2

Page 2 lays out the air cleaner system with a clear diagram and a parts list that includes the cleaner assembly (BS-391399), support, gasket, element (marked S for service part), and the two screws. If you need to replace the air filter element on your Cub Cadet 80, you look up ref #3 – that BS-270528 element. The catalog tells you the quantity and whether it’s a service part. No digging through three different online databases.

Brake Assembly on Page 4

Turn to page 4 and you get the brake assembly breakdown. The brake pad kit 759-3393 is shown as a single line item that includes the stud plate, split bushing, and rib plate. The catalog even tells you to order that kit instead of buying individual pieces. That saves you a return trip to the parts counter. The S/P/F column shows /P for the pad kit – meaning it’s a production part. Don’t ignore that code; it tells you how the part was originally installed.

Does the Parts Catalog Cover the Entire Tractor?

Yes – this is a full parts catalog for the Cub Cadet 80, covering every system from the air cleaner to the brake assembly and everything in between. While the OCR excerpt only shows those two sections, the full 62-page manual contains diagrams and part numbers for the engine, transmission, steering, deck, and electrical components. You need a specific part number for the battery holder? That’s in there. Need the brake cam? Page 4 has it.

3 Reasons to Use OEM Parts Documentation

First, aftermarket parts catalogs often recycle diagrams from later models, so the bolt pattern might be wrong. Second, factory part numbers change over the years; this catalog uses the original Cub Cadet numbers that dealers recognize. Third, the S/P/F codes let you know if a part is a service item (S) – meaning it’s designed to be replaced – or a production part (P) that might not be sold separately. For example, the brake pad kit is listed as a /P, but the individual elements within it are not broken out – you order the kit.

Verify Part Numbers with the S/P/F Codes

Don’t skip the last column. The S/P/F codes are the difference between ordering a part that fits and wasting a week on returns. On page 2, the air cleaner element is marked S – that’s a service part you can order. The support and gasket have no code – they’re standard production parts. If you ignore that detail, you might try ordering the cleaner assembly when you only need the element. Check the code, call your dealer, and move on.

62 pages of factory schematics. That’s it.

Can I use this manual for engine repair?

No, this is a parts catalog, not a service manual. You need the Cub Cadet 80 service manual for repair procedures and torque specs.

How do I read the part numbers and S/P/F codes?

The catalog uses a column system: Ref # for diagram position, Part Number (e.g., BS-391399), Qty, Description, and S/P/F code. The S/P/F column tells you if the part is a service item (S), a production part (P), or a reference only (F). The brake pad kit 759-3393 is marked /P and includes multiple ref numbers. To order, call a Cub Cadet dealer with the part number and the code. Use the diagram to visually cross-reference the part on your tractor. Matching serial numbers ensures compatibility.
