You can use the parts lookup at
http://www.cubcadet.com/equipment/cu...vice-and-parts
You can order a lot of parts directly from Cub Cadet still. You can also use the sponsor links at the top of the page. It even gives you bolt sizes for a lot of things, so you can use it for a lot of things.
Goto the technical forums and get the owners manual and service manual for your tractor.
As for rear end. The definitive consensus I've found on here is that official Case-IH Hytran is the best. You get mixed responses about HyTran equivilents. The same as you get when asking about any aftermarket v oem part. Use your best judgment there. IMO if it says it meets specs, then it should perform the same. Case is a big company and would be serving cease and desist orders if a company as large as TSC was selling a knock off that didn't go through the proper procedures to certify something as compliant.
As for headlights, use the tool to look them up. I know on my 149 they are a standard size available anywhere. Can't remember off the top of my head, but they aren't Cub specific.
