Michigan 175 Parts Catalog – Factory Parts Manual No. 32167

You’ve got a Michigan 175 Parts Catalog in front of you, and that’s exactly what you need if you’re tired of ordering the wrong slack adjuster or mixing up air brake valve part numbers. I’ve seen guys spend a week cross-referencing aftermarket lists that don’t match the casting numbers on the machine. That’s wasted time and money. This is the real factory Parts Catalog from Clark Equipment – 116 pages of indexed part numbers, exploded views, and assembly breakdowns. You get the exact part for your 175 III A, no matter if it’s the front axle or the bucket cylinder.

What You Get – 116 Pages of Factory Indexed Part Numbers

Every page is a direct scan from the original Clark Equipment print. The index starts on page 5 of the PDF and lists every assembly from “Accelerator Pedal and Linkage” to “Cylinder Assembly, Bucket”. Need the part number for the boom bellcrank? The index points you to “Boom” on page 5. No flipping through a generic catalog. This manual includes the machine serial number range printed on the cover – yours should match 5AHG101 thru 5AHG999 or later versions. If your machine is outside that range, you’ll want the companion manual like MICHIGAN Model 175 III A Parts Manual No. 2045 or the updated run Michigan Model 175 III A Parts Manual No. 32191. Also check Michigan Model 175 III A Parts Manual for broader coverage.

Brake Valve and Controls – Page 54: Don’t Misidentify the Air Brake Valve

The air brake valve section on page 54 lists every component of the brake valve and control assembly. I’ve watched a shop order a replacement valve from a generic supplier only to find the ports don’t line up. The factory catalog gives you the exact part number for the valve body, the diaphragm, and the return spring. If you’re rebuilding the brake system, you also need the slack adjuster from pages 37 and 41 – but those part numbers are in the axle sections. Use the index. Always verify the serial number prefix before ordering. One wrong digit and you’re waiting another week.

Engine Accessories and Air Cleaner – Page 8: Proper Part Numbers for the Cleaner and Connections

On page 8 you’ll find the air cleaner and connections breakdown. The aspirator, the filter element, the mounting brackets – all listed with Clark part numbers. Aftermarket filters may fit but the factory element has a specific micron rating that matches the engine’s air demand. Don’t swap in a car filter because it’s cheaper. The Michigan 175 engine is a G.M. inline six, and it needs the right restriction level. The catalog shows the part number for the complete assembly and each serviceable piece. Keep a copy in the tool box – you’ll reference it every oil change.

Transmission and Torque Converter – Sections 20-31: Clutch Groups and Charging Pump Parts

The transmission and converter sections cover the case, clutch packs, and charging pump. The torque converter assembly on pages 29-30 includes the pressure regulating valve. If you’re rebuilding the transmission, you need the cartridge kit for the converter and transmission filter – it’s listed in section 27. The manual calls out the exact part number for each clutch group: first and second on page 22, input-reverse and third-fourth on page 23. Without this catalog, you’d be measuring clutch plates and guessing which friction disc goes where. Factory specs tell you the quantity and the part number. No guesswork.

Hydraulic Systems – Bucket, Boom, Steering: Cylinders, Pumps, and Filters

From the bucket cylinder assembly (page 69) to the boom cylinder (page 70) and the steering cylinder (page 56), every hydraulic component is indexed. The bucket and boom hydraulic pump is on page 65, and the control valve assembly is page 73. If a seal blows on the steering cylinder, you look up the part number on page 56 and order the correct repair kit. The steering filter cartridge kit is on page 63. I’ve seen guys order a hydraulic filter from a garden tractor because the threads looked right – don’t be that guy. This catalog gives you the factory part number. The automotive industry runs on OEM specifications; third-party parts often fail early. For a deeper look at why OEM tolerances matter, see Automotive Industry Overview.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this catalog include torque specifications?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. You need the factory service manual for torque values.

How do I find the correct part number for my machine?

Use the index to locate the component group (e.g., “Axle Assembly – Front Drive” in the index). Then go to the referenced page number in the catalog. Always cross-reference your machine’s serial number from the cover page (page 1). The catalog lists part numbers with descriptions and quantities. If you need to order a boom cylinder rebuild kit, look up “Cylinder Assembly, Boom” on page 70. The exploded diagram shows each item with a reference number and part number. Double-check the serial number range at the top of the section.

Stop ordering parts twice. Get the factory documentation that matches your machine’s build. Access the Factory Manual from AutoRepairManuals and keep your Michigan 175 running on the right parts.
