Michigan 175 Parts Catalog – Factory Specs for Clark Equipment’s Articulated Tractor Shovel

You’re about to tear down a Michigan 175 and you need the right part numbers. I’ve seen guys order a brake chamber for a front axle only to find it’s the rear part because they used an aftermarket lookup. This Michigan 175 Parts Catalog is the genuine factory document, 108 pages of Clark Equipment part numbers with no pages missing and no blurred scans. If you’ve ever wasted a week waiting for the wrong bearing, you know exactly why this matters.

108 Pages of Factory Part Breakdowns

The index alone tells you what you’re dealing with. Engine accessories on page 1, alternator and accessories listed separately. Fuel tank cap on page 12, accelerator pedal linkage on page 14. The brake section covers air lines on page 53, slack adjusters on pages 37 and 41, and the whole parking brake assembly on page 46. Every single part number comes from Clark – not a third-party renumbering scheme that expires next year. I’ve used aftermarket parts catalogs that skip the converter pressure regulating valve (page 31 in this one) or give you a generic number that doesn’t fit. That’s a leak waiting to happen.

Engine and Fuel System Coverage

You get engine accessories exploded views on pages 1 and 1A. The fuel system gets its own cap, tank, and lines – fuel tank cap on page 12, plus the entire air cleaner and connections starting page 8. If you’re swapping a fuel pump, you’ll see the part number right there. No flipping between ten different aftermarket sites hoping one is correct. The manual also lists the cable, engine shut-off on page 15 – a common failure on these older machines that stops you dead in the field.

Does This Manual Cover Torque Specifications?

No, this is a parts catalog, not a service manual. But if you don’t have the right part, torque specs are useless. For example, the torque converter assembly on pages 29-30 includes the charging pump (page 30) and the pressure regulating valve (page 31). Order the wrong valve and your converter won’t hold proper charge pressure – you’ll be chasing a torque problem that originates in a mis-matched part. Same with the brake valve and controls on page 54. Get the correct air brake valve part number first, then apply your torque wrench with the service manual. This catalog gives you the foundation.

Brake and Transmission: Why OEM Parts Matter

The brake system in the 175 III A is not forgiving. Parking brake assembly on page 46, air chambers on page 37 and 41, and the air brake valve page 54 – if any of these are mismatched, you’re risking a machine that won’t stop on grade. The transmission section is just as detailed: case on page 21, clutch groups first/second on page 22, input/reverse/third/fourth on page 23. Those clutch groups have specific part numbers for different speed ranges. Aftermarket catalogs often collapse them into one “clutch kit” that doesn’t match the stack height. I’ve seen that cause shift hesitation and burned plates. This manual doesn’t let that happen.

The Real Cost of Aftermarket Parts Catalogs

Some “factory” manuals you see online are just scanned copies of copies – missing pages, blurred part numbers, outdated revisions. The original file name of this one is MICHIGAN_175_Parts_Catalog_en-48114015514.pdf, a clean factory scan from Clark Equipment. Every page is legible, every part number is sharp. AutoRepairManuals is the largest collection of OEM shop manuals in North America because they don’t sell reprints. They sell the real thing.

Who Needs This Manual?

If you own a Michigan 175 III A articulated tractor shovel, or you’re a mechanic who works on them, you need this. The real-world case: you’re rebuilding the front drive axle. The axle assembly – front drive is on page 37, and the differential and carrier – front drive is on page 39. Without the factory diagram, you’ll be calling the dealer asking “Is this the bearing for the pinion or the carrier?” and waiting three days for a quote. With this catalog, you pull the part number, order it, and move on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a service manual or a parts catalog?

It’s a parts catalog, not a service manual.

Can I use this to rebuild my transmission?

You can use it to identify every single part in the transmission – clutch groups, case, converter, prop shaft – but you’ll need a separate service manual for torque values and assembly procedures. Many guys try to rebuild a Powershift transmission using only a parts catalog and end up with wrong clearances. The catalog gets you the correct part numbers for seals, gaskets, clutches, and valves. Without it, you might order a first/second clutch kit when you actually need the input clutch. That’s a hundred-dollar mistake and a week of downtime. Use the catalog to order, then use the service manual to install.

Don’t gamble with part numbers. Every hour you spend guessing is an hour your machine sits idle. Get the factory manual that Clark intended for this machine.
