Clark Equipment 35A Parts Catalog – 72 Pages of Factory Specs

If you’ve ever ordered a replacement part for a Michigan 35A Tractor Shovel and ended up with the wrong brake cylinder because the aftermarket catalog guessed the fitment, you know exactly why this manual exists. The Clark Equipment 35A Parts Catalog – genuine OEM, not a reprint – gives you the original index and exploded views that Clark mechanics used. 72 pages of part numbers, assembly breakouts, and torque specs that your local parts house won’t have. I’ve been in the trade over 28 years, and I’ve seen more misidentified steering cylinders than I care to count. That stops the day you work from factory documents.

Every line in this catalog comes from the Clark Equipment Construction Machinery Division in Benton Harbor, Michigan. It covers serial numbers CIWCO9-1 through CIWCO9-999. If your machine has a later prefix like C2WC09 or an optional engine, the supplements at the rear handle those. The index alone saves you hours of flipping: it lists every major component group alphabetically, from Accelerator Pedal to Wiring. You want the boom cylinder? Page 55. Brake wheel cylinder? Page 36. Valve assemblies? Pages 49, 53, 56. The information is laid out the way a working shop expects it – fast to find, impossible to mistake.

Boom and Bucket Hydraulics: Cylinder and Valve Assemblies

The hydraulic system on the 35A runs the bucket and boom. This manual breaks it down into individual assemblies: Cylinder – Boom Cylinder Assembly (page 55) and Bucket Cylinder Assembly (page 54). Each page shows the cylinder with its seal kit, gland, rod, and piston part numbers. Then the control side – Bucket Control Valve (page 53) and Valve Assembly – Control (page 53). You also get the Bucket Level Valve (page 49) and the Valve Controls (page 56). If you’re rebuilding a tilt cylinder and the aftermarket kit doesn’t match, you pull the factory illustration, read the part number off the diagram, and order exactly what Clark specified. No guesswork.

What Brake Components Are Covered in This Catalog?

All of them. The Brake section runs from page 35 through 39. You get Rear Brake Assembly (page 35), Brake Wheel Cylinder (page 36), Brake Master Cylinder (page 37), Brake Controls and Lines (page 37), Parking Brake Assembly (page 38), and Parking Brake Controls (page 39). Each assembly is drawn with every spring, shoe, piston, and seal labeled with its OEM part number. The parking brake lever assembly is on page 39. If you’re in a hurry and need to know which master cylinder fits, the illustration shows the bore size and the port configuration. No calling three dealers to cross-reference a casting number.

Get the Right Part Numbers for the Steering System

Steering on these loaders uses a separate hydraulic circuit. The catalog covers Steering Cylinder Assembly (page 41), Steering Gear Assembly (page 43), Steering Wheel (page 43), and full Steering Linkage Group (page 40). The Steering Drag Link (page 45) and Steering System Pressure Relief Valve (page 45) are included. If you’ve ever replaced a steering cylinder only to find the tie rod ends don’t match, you know the value of an OEM illustration. The manual also lists the Steering Hydraulic Pump (page 46) and the Steering System Oil Filter (page 44). Each part has a number that ties back to the original Clark bill of materials.

7 Key Systems Illustrated with Exploded Views

The catalog covers seven major systems in the same format: engine accessories, transmission and torque converter, axles, brakes, steering, bucket/boom hydraulics, and electrical. The Engine Accessories section starts on page 2 – generator, fan belts, oil filter, cooling components. Transmission work starts on page 17 with the assembly, then the clutch groups (Forward, Reverse, Low on page 18; High on page 19), Control Valve (page 20), and Torque Converter (page 25). The Axle Assembly – Front Drive Steer (page 31) and Rear Drive (page 33) include the differential and planet spider. Electrical System (page 59) has the wiring diagram. Every exploded view shows how the parts fit together – critical when you’re reassembling a transmission or bleeding brakes.

Transmission and Torque Converter: Parts Breakdown on Page 18

Page 18 is the Clutch Group – Forward, Reverse and Low. Page 19 covers the High clutch. The Transmission Control Valve is on page 20. The Torque Converter Assembly (page 25) comes with the Converter Charging Pump (page 27) and the Pressure Regulator Valve Assembly (page 26). The Hydraulic System – Transmission and Torque Converter (page 28) lists the oil filter, lines, and sender units. If you’re overhauling a powershift transmission, you need the exact thrust washers and clutch plates. This catalog gives you the part numbers straight from Clark’s engineering release. No aftermarket substitutions.

Source Validity: Why This OEM Parts Catalog Beats Any Reprint

I’ve been burned by third-party “compatible” parts manuals. They skip pages, copy blurry images, and transpose part numbers. This is a direct scan of Clark Equipment’s own Parts Manual No. 1737. The index is alphabetical, the illustrations are clean, and the page numbers match the original bindery. The document shows “Printed in U.S.A.” and includes the serial number range. You’re not getting a CD from someone who scanned a photocopy of a photocopy. You’re getting the same book that a Clark dealer used in 1970. For an Automotive Industry Overview and the construction equipment industry, OEM documentation has always been the benchmark. This manual holds that line.

Related catalogs for other Clark machines are available if you work on a fleet: Clark Equipment 75B 1989 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Manual, Clark Equipment 310, 310III Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Manual, and Clark Equipment 12E2E 1968 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Manual. Each one follows the same factory index system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this manual cover the engine long block itself?

The index lists “Engine Assembly —” on page 1 with no breakout. This parts catalog covers engine accessories and mounting parts only. For internal engine components, consult a separate engine service manual.

How do I find a part number for a steering cylinder tie‑rod end?

Go to page 40, Steering Linkage Group. It shows the drag link, tie rod assembly (page 32), and all associated bushings and seals. Each part has a seven‑digit Clark number. Compare the illustration to your machine; the serial number range will confirm fitment. If your machine has the optional steering system, check the supplement at the rear of the manual. That section is often overlooked, but it contains the updated part numbers for later builds. Always cross‑reference the serial number with the range printed on page 1.

An aftermarket parts guide might get you close, but “close” on a brake valve means a leaky seal or a non‑return spring that fails. This catalog gives you the exact Clark OEM number, the same one that goes on the factory line. You can look up the part on page 53 for the control valve, then order with confidence. No second‑guessing. Automotive Industry Overview relies on precise records; this manual is the record.

Final word: if you need to order a cylinder, a valve, a brake assembly, or any other component for a Michigan 35A, this is the document that keeps the parts counter from handing you the wrong box. 72 pages, factory correct, ready to drop into your shop binder. Access the Factory Manual now and stop flipping through aftermarket catalogs that don’t know your machine.
