Clark-hurth 175B, 175B CUMMINS Parts Catalog

If you are wrenching on a Michigan tractor shovel, you already know that guessing part numbers costs time and money. I have seen guys order a seal for a 175B and end up with a bracket that belongs on a 175B CUMMINS because they ignored the serial number break. This Clark-hurth 175B, 175B CUMMINS Parts Catalog is the factory document that keeps you from making that mistake. 450 pages of OEM part breakdowns, organized the way Clark intended. No aftermarket reinterpretation. No scanned junk.

Every page in this manual is arranged by parts group — alphabetical from A through Y. Axles under A, brakes under B, frame under F, transmission under T. Each group page is numbered with a prefix: A1, B1, F1, T1, and so on. Revisions show a hyphen suffix (A1-2, F1-3) so you know when a page got updated. That level of tracking is missing in aftermarket copies. You need this to match parts to the exact machine serial number.

How to Use This Parts Manual Properly

Do not flip to a random page and order. The manual explains the system on page 1 (look at the OCR excerpt). Standard equipment lives in groups A through Y. Optional equipment, accessories, and attachments are in group Z. There is an Alphabetical Index to find your group fast — use it. Abbreviations and symbols are explained on a separate page. Pay attention to the asterisk (*) on page titles — that is a flag that serial number (S/N) information is listed as a footnote. If you ignore that footnote, you get the wrong part. End of story.

Serial Number Verification: First Step

Before you order a single bolt, record your machine serial number. This manual covers 175B G.M. with serial 427C101 & After and 427C101FSC & After, plus 175B CUMMINS with 438C101 & After and 438C101FSC & After. If your machine serial falls outside those ranges, this catalog may not match. Write your serial number on the page provided — it is there for a reason. I have seen shops lose hours because they ordered parts for a 175B CUMMINS when the machine was a 175B G.M. This manual forces you to check first.

175B and 175B CUMMINS Parts Group Breakdown

Both engine variants are covered in the same binding, but each group page specifies which serial range the part belongs to. The illustrations are typical examples — they show placement, not assembly sequence. Do not use them as a guide for reassembly; that is not what a parts catalog does. Use them to locate and identify the part number you need. Then order by part number, description, and quantity. Ship to the distributor with complete instructions. If you leave out the serial number, expect delays.

Parts Organization: Axle, Brakes, Frame, Transmission

This is where the manual saves you headaches. Each group has its own page numbering — no mixing. Need a brake part? Flip to group B, page B1-BXX. Transmission parts are group T. If you have worked with generic catalogs that throw all part numbers into one giant list, you know the pain of cross-referencing. Clark designed this with separate alphabetical groups so you can drill down fast. Page 1 of the manual (the “How to Use” page) lays out the entire system. Memorize it.

Warranty Coverage and OEM Parts

Clark Equipment Company warrants new products against defects in material and workmanship for six months or 1,000 hours, whichever comes first. But that warranty only applies if you use Original Equipment Replacement Parts — not third-party knockoffs. This manual lists only OEM part numbers. When you order from a dealer, give them the exact part number from these pages. The warranty disclaimer on page 2 of the manual spells out the conditions. If you skip that page, you might void coverage. Read the fine print.

FAQ

Does this manual cover both the G.M. and CUMMINS engine versions of the 175B?

Yes. It includes both 175B G.M. (serial 427C101 & After) and 175B CUMMINS (serial 438C101 & After) with separate part listings for each.

How do I find a part if I don’t know the group letter?

Use the Alphabetical Index located at the front of the catalog. It lists every major component group (A-X, plus Z for options) and the page number where that group starts. For example, if you need a hydraulic pump, look under ‘P’ or cross-reference to the group (likely H for Hydraulics). Each group page has its own index at the top showing the parts included. If you skip the index, you will waste time flipping through 450 pages. The manual is designed to be used with the index — it is not a novel to read cover to cover.
