Cub Cadet 1440 Parts Catalog

If you’ve ever ordered a part for a Cub Cadet 1440 using an aftermarket list and ended up with a bracket that doesn’t fit or a filter that’s three threads off, you already know why this manual exists. That’s the kind of waste that costs you a Saturday and a return trip to the dealer. The Cub Cadet 1440 Parts Catalog is the factory-issued document that gives you the exact part numbers Cub Cadet used when the tractor left the line. No guessing, no cross-referencing third-party spreadsheets. This is the same binder a dealer parts counter pulls down when you ask for a replacement.

With 80 pages of exploded diagrams, reference numbers, and part descriptions, you get a direct line to the OEM inventory. The manual covers serial numbers 880,001 through 899,000. If your 1440 falls inside that range, you’re holding the right book.

Air Cleaner Assembly: Exploded Parts Breakdown

Page 1 of the catalog shows the air cleaner layout – it’s not just a picture. Every component from the base gasket (BS-805655) to the inlet tube (BS-805632) is listed with its own reference number and quantity. If you need to replace the foam element (BS-272490) or the entire shield assembly (BS-807797), the part number is right there. No flipping between tables. This section alone saves you from buying the wrong cartridge.

Battery and Electrical Components: Wiring and Fastener Specs

The electrical section on pages 3–4 goes beyond just the battery. You get the positive cable (725-3197A), the solenoid (725-3001), the 20-amp fuse (725-1381), and even the voltage sensor module (725-3251). What I like is they list the hardware – hex cap screws, lock washers, and nuts with exact sizes like 5/16-18 x 1.38 inches. That matters when you’re digging through a coffee can of bolts and need to know which one fits the battery tray.

Does the Catalog Include Torque Specifications?

No, this is a Parts Catalog, not a service manual. You won’t find torque specs or repair steps here. What you get is the parts list for every system – air cleaner, battery tray, bulkhead, and more. If you need the torque for the cylinder head, you’d want the factory service manual. But if you’re trying to identify which nut goes on the positive cable (it’s a 5/16-18 hex nut, part 712-3010), this catalog is the answer. Pair it with the Automotive Industry Overview for broader context, but stick to factory documents for part numbers.

Why Factory Parts Documentation Beats Generic Lists

I’ve seen aftermarket catalogs that list a single air cleaner assembly and leave out the gasket. Or they combine the foam element with the cartridge as one part when Cub Cadet sold them separately. This catalog doesn’t compromise. Every entry shows the part number, quantity, and whether it’s a service part (S), part of an assembly (P), or a fast-moving item (F). The format is consistent across all 80 pages. That means less time sorting through returns and more time actually fixing the machine.

80 Pages of Factory Part Numbers – What You’ll Find

Every page is a dedicated section. The battery tray and bulkhead page (page 5) shows the hold-down bracket, tray, and all mounting hardware. You can see that the battery hold-down uses a 5/16-18 hex cap screw and a flat washer. The parts list tells you the exact washer size (0.34 x 0.68 x 0.062 thick). That’s the level of detail you need when a bolt is stripped and you’re trying to match it from a bin. The catalog doesn’t guess. It prints the factory drawing and the raw data. For related tractors, check the Cub Cadet 21121C29025 Parts Catalog – 73 Pages of Factory Specs or the Cub Cadet 984 Parts Catalog – 128 Pages of OEM Factory Parts Breakdowns. Both follow the same OEM format.

Does this catalog cover every part on the Cub Cadet 1440?

It covers all the systems listed in the 80 pages – air cleaner, battery, electrical components, battery tray, bulkhead, and more. The serial range is 880,001 to 899,000. If your tractor has a different serial, some parts may differ.

Can I use this catalog to order parts online?

Yes. Use the part numbers from the catalog (like BS-807857 for the air cleaner base). Order from a dealer or online supplier. The catalog also includes a phone number: 606-678-9623 for discount Cub Cadet parts.
