CUB CADET 689-00312 Hardware Pack 42 46 Bagger 36 19A30045OEM 19A30031OEM

What It Is

This is a genuine OEM hardware pack for Cub Cadet bagger systems, containing the bolts, washers, nuts, and spacers needed to mount a 42-inch or 46-inch bagger to select 36-inch models (19A30045OEM, 19A30031OEM). It replaces missing or worn fasteners for the bagger attachment frame.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower deck size is 42 or 46 inches and your bagger model is 19A30045OEM or 19A30031OEM. This pack is designed for Cub Cadet riding mowers and tractors with those specific bagger kits—not universal. Check your owner’s manual or existing hardware: the pack includes M8 and 5/16-inch bolts, lock washers, flat washers, and nylon lock nuts. Measure bolt length (typically 25–30mm for frame mounts) to ensure they match your mower’s bracket holes. Do not use for zero-turn or push mower baggers.

Key Things to Buy

• Quality: Genuine Cub Cadet OEM hardware—zinc-plated steel resists rust better than generic hardware store bolts. Avoid aftermarket kits that may strip or loosen over time.
• Installation difficulty: Easy—just hand-tighten with a socket wrench. No special tools needed. Expect 15–20 minutes for full replacement.
• Common gotcha: The pack includes extra washers and nuts for different bracket locations. Lay them out by size before starting; mixing up lock washers with flat ones can cause vibration loosening.
• Missing parts: If you’re buying to replace lost hardware, note that the pack does not include the bagger frame itself or mounting brackets—only the fasteners.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a Cub Cadet 42/46-inch bagger system (models 19A30045OEM or 19A30031OEM) and need to replace rusted, stripped, or missing mounting hardware. It’s a no-brainer for restoring a secure bagger fit without guessing bolt sizes. Skip it if your bagger frame is damaged or if you want a universal hardware set—this is model-specific.
