Clark-hurth 475B Parts Catalog – Factory Spec Parts Identification

If you have ever ordered a part for a Clark-hurth 475B and ended up with the wrong piece because you used a third-party list, you already know the frustration. That is why this document exists — the original Clark-hurth Parts Manual No. 3132. This is a genuine Clark-hurth 475B Parts Catalog with 312 pages of factory-sourced part numbers, exploded illustrations, and ordering procedures. No aftermarket reinterpretation. No guesswork. Just the official data that Clark-hurth printed for the 50,000 lb rough terrain forklift (military contract DAAK01-76-C-5399).

Alphabetical Parts Groups: Axle, Brakes, Frame, Transmission

The manual arranges every part into alphabetical groups starting with Axle (A), Brakes (B), Frame (F), Transmission (T), and so on through Group Y. Each group page gets its own letter and number — B1, B2, etc. Revisions show a hyphen and second number, like A1-2. That means if you see A1-3 on the page, you know Clark-hurth updated that section. Do not ignore those hyphens; they often include superseded part numbers or design changes.

Group Z: Optional Equipment and Attachments

Group Z covers everything that was not standard on the 475B. If your machine came with a side-shift carriage, a different mast, or a cab kit, you will find those parts in Group Z. The manual explicitly separates standard from optional — a practice that aftermarket catalogs routinely mess up. When you order a part from Group Z, verify the serial number footnote on the illustration page. Optional parts often have different applicability ranges than standard ones.

Why Serial Numbers Matter for Parts Ordering?

Every illustration in this manual carries a serial number (S/N) footnote. The text on page 1 tells you to record your machine serial number in the blank provided. That number is your key to getting the right part. Clark-hurth built the 475B over multiple production runs, and parts changed. An asterisk (*) on a page title signals serial-number-specific information. Ignore that, and you will order a brake shoe that does not fit. Internal Combustion Engine technology evolved, and so did the engine mounts and gaskets listed here. Match your S/N before you touch a wrench.

312 Pages of Factory-Correct Part Numbers

Each of the 312 pages in this Parts Catalog contains raw OEM data. The illustrations show typical part arrangements — not assembly instructions. The manual says so clearly on page 3: “Illustrations are provided to locate and identify parts only and should not be used as a guide for assembly.” That is a critical distinction. Use the exploded views to find the part number, then cross-reference that number with the parts list table. For torque specs or installation steps, you need the separate service manual. This catalog gives you the bedrock data to order the correct bolt, seal, or bearing.

Order Parts Using Factory Part Numbers

When you call your distributor, give them the model (475B), serial number, part number, description, and quantity. The manual states that you must furnish complete shipping instructions to avoid delay. Do not assume your local dealer can look it up from the model alone — they will pull up this same manual, but if you give them the wrong serial number context, you get the wrong part. Automotive Industry Overview is full of stories about shops burning billable hours on misordered parts. Avoid that by keeping this catalog on the workbench.

Skip the guesswork. Use the factory catalog.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this manual include service procedures?

No, this is a parts catalog only. You need the separate service manual.

How do I verify I have the correct part number?

Use the illustrations and serial number information on each page. The manual organizes parts by alphabetical groups (A-Y) and includes a footnote with applicable serial numbers. When ordering, provide the model and serial number of your machine. Do not rely on generic lists – Clark-hurth updates part numbers and supersessions. Always cross-reference the part number in this manual with the current parts availability from your dealer. The manual’s warranty section (pages 2-3) explains coverage terms.
