If you want an offline catalog, Rudy's Cub page has an H parts book for
download.  Each page is a JPG.

www.cleancomputes.com/Cub/index.html

He's also got every variety of the Cub Owners Manual, the A/B parts book, a
Super A manual, and a few other assorted manuals.  All for free, and you
can't beat that!
