Michigan 175 Parts Catalog

If you are working on a Michigan 175 and don’t have the factory parts catalog, you are wasting time hunting down part numbers. I’ve seen guys order wrong parts three times because they used a generic cross-reference. This 114-page manual is the real deal – original Clark Equipment publication for the Model 175 IIIA Articulated Tractor Shovel. It lists every part from the accelerator pedal linkage to the bucket teeth, with factory part numbers and breakdowns that match your actual machine serial number.

Engine and Transmission Coverage

This catalog covers the whole drivetrain. You get exploded views for the Accessories, Engine (page 1, 1A), the Torque Converter Assembly, Converter Charging Pump, and Converter Pressure Regulating Valve. Transmission sections include the Case, Transmission, Clutch Group (First/Second and Input/Reverse/Third/Fourth), and the Cover Assembly, Transmission Control. Need the torque converter air breather? It’s listed. Transmission oil fill cap? Page 27. Every seal, bearing, and gasket has a Clark part number – not a “universal fit” guess.

Brake System: Air Lines and Valve Components

Brake work on heavy equipment is not the place for approximations. The catalog gives you individual part numbers for the Air Brake Valve, Slack Adjuster, Air Chamber, Brake Assembly (Front and Rear), Parking Brake Assembly, and Brake Controls. If you need the Brake Valve and Controls assembly, it’s on page 54. Air Lines, Brake are on page 53. Ordering a rebuilt valve? You’ll have the exact part number to give your dealer. No returns because you misread a drawing.

3 Reasons to Use Factory Parts Catalogs

1. Serial number matching – The manual instructs you to provide the machine serial number when ordering. Aftermarket databases ignore that critical step.
2. Exploded views with correct quantities – Page 5 shows the Boom, Bucket Bellcranks, Pushrods – you see exactly how many clips and bushings you need.
3. No “will-fit” substitutions – Clark-Approved Parts only. When a bolt has a specific hardness grade, the catalog tells you.

Does This Manual Cover the Cylinder Assemblies?

Yes. Boom Cylinder Assembly and Bucket Cylinder Assembly are both covered – see pages 70 and 69. Steering Cylinder Assembly is also listed. Each assembly breaks down into individual seals, pistons, rods, and gland nuts. If you are rebuilding a cylinder, you can order the exact seal kit without having to measure old o-rings.

Valve and Hydraulic Components

The catalog includes the Control Valve Assembly, Bucket and Boom Hydraulic Pump, and the Bucket and Boom Hydraulic System. For the steering circuit, you get the Cartridge Kit, Steering Filter (page 63) and the Cartridge Kit, Transmission and Converter Filter (page 27). Hydraulic oil reservoir cap and filter are listed. No guesswork when you are bleeding air from the system – the torque converter air breather is right there.

What About Axle and Differential Parts?

Axle Assembly – Front Drive and Axle Assembly – Rear Drive are in separate sections (pages 37, 41). Differential and Carrier for both axles are also listed. If you are overhauling a differential, the carrier bearings and shims have factory part numbers. Use this catalog to cross-check aftermarket parts – I’ve caught wrong bearing numbers three times this year alone.

Source Validity: Original OEM Print

This is a digital copy of the original Clark Equipment publication printed in Belgium for the Michigan Model 175 IIIA. The first page explicitly says “Parts Manual” and gives the serial number range (CL 32134 32158). It is not a third-party reprint with fuzzy images. Every page is a clean scan of the official document. For reference on why factory documentation matters, see Automotive Industry Overview and Automotive Industry Overview for context on heavy equipment manufacturing standards.
