Clark-hurth 475 III A Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs for Your Michigan Tractor Shovel

If you’re maintaining a Michigan 475 III A tractor shovel, you’ve probably wasted time chasing wrong part numbers from aftermarket sources. This Clark-hurth 475 III A Parts Catalog is the original factory document – 221 pages of indexed, OEM-specified part numbers, exploded views, and group listings. No guesswork. The brake section alone (A3) is worth the price if you’re rebuilding those service brakes. I’ve torqued enough heavy-equipment bolts to know that one wrong part number can cost you a day of downtime. This catalog eliminates that risk.

Brake Assembly and Parking Brake – A3 and A29 Coverage

The TOC lists Brake Assembly starting page A3, and Parking Brake assembly on A29. That’s separate sections for service brakes and parking. The manual includes part numbers for brake pads, discs, valves, and lines. If you need the parking brake disc, check A33. The brake system is critical – don’t use aftermarket substitutes. This catalog gives you Clark-hurth factory numbers that match your machine’s serial number range. Cross-reference with the exploded diagram and order exactly what the engineers intended.

How the Parts Catalog is Organized

Groups are alphabetical, A through Z. Standard equipment under A-Y, optional accessories in Group Z. Index is on page 3. Need bucket teeth? That’s Z3. Air compressor? E12. The arrangement is logical and consistent across Clark-hurth models. This is the same format used in Clark-hurth L320 1991 Parts Catalog – 690 Pages OEM Specs and others. Each section header includes the applicable serial number range, so you can quickly verify the part fits your machine.

3 Reasons OEM Parts Catalogs Beat Aftermarket Reprints

Reason one: Part numbers are verified against machine serial numbers. Page 1 of this manual lists serial ranges: 421E101 thru 421E999, 421F101 and after. Aftermarket catalogs often skip serial number tracking, leading to mismatched parts. Reason two: Exploded views are specific to the 475 III A, not generic. See the Converter Assembly C7 and Converter Hydraulic System H15 – those diagrams match the exact components on your machine. Reason three: Safety-critical items like Brake Hand Valve (B7) and Brake Relay Valve (B17) have correct specifications. One wrong part can cause brake failure – and that’s not something to gamble with.

Index Navigation: Finding Parts by Alphabetical Groups

The index starts on page 3. Look up “Brake Controls” and it points to B24. “Bucket Leveler” is B5. This catalog uses the same indexing as other Clark-hurth manuals like Clark-hurth 85III 1965 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Specs and Clark-hurth 85A, 85A1 1978 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs. Cross-reference with your machine serial number to ensure correct groups. If you need a part that appears in multiple sections (e.g., brake lines under both B7 and B19), the index clears up the confusion.

What Serial Numbers Are Covered?

Per page 1, this manual covers 475 III A tractor shovels with Cummins engine, serial numbers 421E101 to 421E999, and 421F101 and after. If your machine falls outside that range, you need a different catalog. Always check serial number before ordering parts. The automotive industry Automotive Industry Overview emphasizes the importance of serial number verification to avoid misparts. And the internal combustion engine Internal Combustion Engine section (E) covers engine controls and accessories – critical for drivetrain maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this catalog for a 475 III without the A suffix?

No. The III A has specific differences. Check serial number range.

How do I find the right brake pad part number?

Go to Brake Assembly section A3. Locate your machine serial number in the header of the page. The exploded diagram shows each brake component with an index callout. Cross-reference that callout number to the parts list table on the same page. The table includes the Clark part number, description, and quantity. If you have the parking brake, use section A29. The part numbers for brake pads are listed there. Make sure to match the serial number range printed at the top of the section – some sections have multiple sub-variants based on machine build date. If your machine is outside the listed range, contact a Clark distributor.

If your Michigan 475 III A needs rebuilding, you need the right parts the first time. Aftermarket lists don’t cut it when you’re bolting up a brake assembly worth thousands.
