Clark Equipment 175 III Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Manual

If you are ordering parts for a Clark Equipment 175 III Tractor Shovel and you are relying on aftermarket cross-reference sheets, stop. I have seen more misrouted part numbers than I have seen clean drain plugs. This Parts Catalog is factory-originated – 114 pages of Clark Equipment’s own indexing, not some photocopy from a third party. You need the exact part for the Engine, the Brake system, the Transmission – this book has it.

That is the difference between a fix and a failure.

Clark Equipment 175 III Parts Catalog gives you the factory part numbers and exploded views. The index lists every component from Accelerator Pedal and Linkage (pages 19-20) to Bucket Teeth Data (page 7). No guesswork.

Need the air brake valve? Page 56. Bucket cylinder assembly? Page 76. The index alone saves you an hour of hunting.

Aftermarket catalogs combine multiple models into one book, then you end up with a part that almost fits. Clark Equipment numbered each part for a reason. This manual respects that. You want the right Slack Adjuster for your brakes? Pages 40-44 show the correct Air Chamber and Diaphragm assemblies.

For context on the heavy equipment industry, see the Automotive Industry Overview.

Engine and Accessories – Page 1

The Engine section covers Alternator, accessories, and the critical Engine Shut-Off Cable (page 20). If your machine dies unexpectedly, that cable is often the culprit. The manual gives you the part number for the cable and the linkage rods. Don’t bother with generic cables – they are never the right length or terminal.

Brake System: Air Lines, Valves, and Chambers

Braking system on the 175 III is air-over-hydraulic. You get the Air Brake Valve (page 56), Air Lines (page 59), Air Reservoir (page 59), and the complete Front and Rear Drive Axle assemblies with brake components (pages 39-44). The manual includes the Slack Adjuster and Air Chamber diaphragm – critical items that wear out. Torque specs for brake mounting bolts are not in a parts catalog, but the part numbers for the correct fasteners are listed. You still need to look up the torque value in the service manual – this catalog ensures you order the right bolt.

Transmission and Torque Converter Parts

The Transmission section is extensive: Transmission Case (page 27), Converter Charging Pump (page 35), Transmission Air Breather (page 25), and the complete Converter assembly. The Torque Converter Air Breather Check Valve (pages 32,35) is a common failure point. With this catalog, you can order the correct cartridge kit for the transmission and converter filter (page 32). No aftermarket substitution – you get the Clark part number.

What Torque Values Are Listed?

Listen – this is a Parts Catalog, not a service manual. You will not find torque values listed in ft-lbs on these pages. What you will find are the exact bolts, washers, and nuts that require a specific torque during installation. If the service manual calls for a torque of, say, 200 ft-lbs on the axle hub nut, this catalog gives you the part number for that nut. Never reuse a bolt that has a torque specification without checking the factory thread pitch and grade. That information is implied in the part number. For torque values, you need the companion service manual. But ordering the right part is the first step – and this catalog ensures you do that.

Valve Assemblies: From Air Brake to Hydraulic

The 175 III has a bucket and boom hydraulic system (pages 70-72) and a separate steering system. The Bucket and Boom Hydraulic Pump (pages 73-74), Bucket Cylinder Assembly (page 76), and Boom Cylinder Assembly (page 75) are all detailed. Also covered: Air Brake Valve, Hydraulic Reservoir, and the steering gear filler cap (page 63). If you have a leaking valve, you can identify the seal kit from the parts list.

Get the Right Part Numbers – Use the Index Correctly

Index at the front of this manual covers every component from A to B (actually from Accelerator to Cap). But watch out: some items appear under multiple headings. For example, “Bucket, Indicator, Boom, Bellcranks and Pushrods” is grouped on pages 6-7. When you order, always provide your machine serial number. Clark Equipment built multiple versions of the 175 III, and the index covers the entire series. Use the part number from the illustration, double-check with your distributor. That is the only way.

This catalog is 114 pages of verified factory data. After you use it once, you will never go back to aftermarket parts lists.

Does this manual cover the 175 III with optional equipment?

Yes. The index includes optional items like Cab Assembly (pages 83-85) and Hood Side Panels. However, you must match the illustration to your machine’s serial number. Some options were retrofitted later.

Can I use this catalog for the 175 II or 175 I?

No. Different series have different part numbers.

What is the publication year of this manual?

The copyright is not listed on the cover page, but the manual is original Clark Equipment print. Estimated from the machine’s production era: mid-1970s to early 1980s. The part numbers are still valid for OEM replacements.

Do I need a service manual as well?

For repairs, yes. This catalog gives you the parts. The service manual gives you the procedures and torque specs. Both are essential. If you have the service manual but cannot identify the correct part, this catalog fills that gap. Clark Equipment 175 III service manual is also available on this site.
