Clark-hurth 475C Parts Catalog – What You Get on the Bench

I’ve been turning wrenches since before most of you were born. 28 years, ASE Master, 6 bays in San Antonio. When a 475C rolls in with a blown axle or a busted transmission, I don’t have time to play “which part fits.” You need the Clark-hurth 475C Parts Catalog – not some aftermarket reprint full of photo-copied blur. This factory document tells you exactly which part number goes where, and that’s the difference between a one-day job and a three-day headache.

How This Parts Catalog Is Organized (Groups A Through Y)

The manual is structured alphabetically by parts group – Axle (A), Brakes (B), Frame (F), Transmission (T), and so on through Y for standard equipment. Each page within a group has its own number prefixed by the letter (e.g., A1, B1, F1). If you look at page A1 you’ll see the front axle assembly exploded view with callouts. Revisions get a hyphen suffix – A1-2, A1-3 – so you know you’re looking at the latest factory correction. Optional equipment and attachments live in Group Z. That kind of organization saves you from flipping through 309 pages blind. Every tech I’ve trained learns to use the alphabetical index first. It’s right there in the first few pages.

Serial Number Verification: Why It’s Not Optional

The manual reminds you – right on page 3 – that illustrations carry an asterisk suffix tied to serial number (S/N) footnotes. If your machine has a Cummins 487C and a certain serial range, the part might differ from a later build. Ignore the S/N and you’ll order a pinion shaft that doesn’t fit. I’ve seen guys do that. Then they blame the manual. It’s not the manual’s fault. Check the serial number. The footnote will tell you the exact S/N range that applies to each illustration. Write your machine’s S/N in the blank on page 1 – they give you a box for it. Do it.

Parts Illustrations: Reference Only, Not Assembly Guides

Page 3 spells it out: “ILLUSTRATIONS shown are only typical examples… to locate and identify parts only and should not be used as a guide for assembly.” I’ve had guys pull a gearbox apart, use the exploded view as a reassembly map, and then wonder why the shifter fork is upside down. The drawings show part orientation and relationship, but they don’t show every snap ring direction or torque sequence. For that you need the service manual. This is a Parts Catalog. It tells you what goes in, not always how it goes in. Use it for ordering and identification, then grab the corresponding service manual for assembly.

Ordering Parts: The Correct Way to Avoid Delays

When you call your Clark-hurth distributor, have the model, serial number, part number, description, and quantity ready. Page 3 gives you that exact instruction. You don’t want to be the guy on the phone saying “uh, I need the thingy for the axle.” The catalog lists each part with a seven-digit number (like 1234567) and a clear name. Write it down. Give it to the counterman. If you order by description alone, you’ll get the wrong part half the time – distributors don’t read minds. The catalog is your cheat sheet. Use it.

3 Reasons Factory OEM Beats Aftermarket Parts Catalogs

I’ve seen aftermarket parts books that list a part as “bearing, axle” with no dimensions, no S/N range, and no cross-reference. This Clark-hurth 475C Parts Catalog comes from the same factory that built the driveline. Every part number traces back to the original engineering drawing. Aftermarket catalogs often skip the footnotes, skip the revision history, and skip the Z-group options. If you’re rebuilding a planetary axle on a 475C, you need to know whether the sun gear was changed after serial number 487C-1000. The factory catalog has that. The aftermarket book doesn’t. Save yourself the return shipping. Choose OEM documentation. Clark 475C Turbo Wheel Loader Parts Manual”>For turbo-equipped 475C models, see this companion manual.

What About the TS.20072 and PM 3356 References?

On page 2 of the PDF you’ll see “CLARK TS.20072 475C PM 3356 Printed in U.S.A.” That’s the factory drawing number and publication ID. If you ever need to call Clark-hurth tech support, they’ll ask for that PM number. Write it on the cover. It tells them exactly which revision you’re holding. The manual covers the 475C wheel loader with Cummins engine designation 487C. If your loader has a different powerplant, verify the S/N range – some variants used different mounting brackets and hydraulic pump drives. Always confirm before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this parts catalog include torque specifications?

No. This is a parts identification manual – it gives you part numbers, quantities, and illustrations. Torque values are in the service repair manual, not here.

How many pages does the Clark-hurth 475C Parts Catalog have?

309 pages, counting the covers and index. Each page lists OEM part numbers with exploded views for every major assembly on the wheel loader.

I have a 475C with a different engine than the Cummins 487C. Will this catalog work?

You need to match the serial number. The catalog is written for the 475C with Cummins 487C engine, but some engine components are in Group Z (optional equipment). If your machine has a different engine plate, cross-reference the S/N footnote on each page. If the S/N isn’t listed, call Clark-hurth with your machine serial to confirm. Ordering a flywheel without checking the S/N is a good way to get a box of wrong parts.

Can I use this catalog to rebuild the transmission?

You can identify the transmission parts – the T-section shows gear, shafts, bearings, and seals – but you need the service manual for clearances, shim selection, and assembly steps. The parts catalog tells you what’s inside; the service manual tells you how to put it together. Both are worth owning.

Every time I hear a tech say “I thought that part would fit,” I ask if they used a factory parts catalog. The answer is usually no. Stop guessing.
