Michigan 175A Parts Catalog

You’re rebuilding a 175A. Maybe it’s a Waukesha gas burner, maybe a Cummins diesel. Doesn’t matter which — if you’re ordering parts without the factory Michigan 175A Parts Catalog, you’re burning time and cash. I’ve seen guys order a boom cylinder seal kit that didn’t match because they guessed the serial number range. That’s a week of downtime. This 222-page OEM manual gives you the exact part numbers, exploded views, and serial number breaks so you order the right piece the first time. No fluff, no shortcuts.

What This Parts Catalog Actually Covers

This is the factory-published Parts Manual No. 1363-R2 for the Model 175A Tractor Shovel. It breaks down every major assembly — engine, transmission, axles, brakes, hydraulics — by engine type. You get separate sections for CUMMINS DIESEL, G.M. DIESEL, WAUKESHA DIESEL, and WAUKESHA GAS. Need the accelerator pedal linkage for a Cummins? Turn to page 35. Front axle air chamber? Page 145. The index runs from Accelerator Pedal all the way to Wheel Cylinder — over 200 line items. Each page shows a clean exploded drawing with callouts and a parts list. This isn’t a service manual; it’s the parts bible.

Engine-Specific Sections: Why You Need the Right One

One of the biggest mistakes I see on the 175A is ordering parts for the wrong engine variant. The Waukesha gas engine uses a completely different carburetor and ignition system than the Waukesha diesel. The manual makes it clear: separate pages for Air Cleaner and Tailpipe — CUMMINS (page 28), Air Cleaner and Muffler — G.M. DIESEL (page 27), Air Cleaner and Parts — WAUKESHA (pages 24-25). You get part numbers, not generic cross-references. The manual even covers engine support parts and accessories per engine type. If you’re pulling a head on a Waukesha diesel, you need the correct head gasket and bolt set from page 3-4 of the Engine Accessories section.

Brake Systems and Axle Assemblies

The 175A has a complex air-over-hydraulic brake system with separate front and rear axle air chambers, plus parking brake controls. The parts catalog dedicates multiple pages to Brake Assembly – Front Axle (pages 144-145), Brake Assembly – Rear Axle (pages 146-147), and Brake Controls – Air Brakes (page 150) versus Hydraulic Brakes (page 149). You also get a full breakdown of the front drive axle assembly (pages 79, 81) and rear drive steer axle (pages 83, 85), including differential and carrier assemblies. If you’re rebuilding a diff, you need the shim and bearing part numbers from this catalog — aftermarket shops often substitute and cause whine.

Ordering Parts the Right Way

Every page in this manual includes the factory part number and a description. Look at the bucket assembly page — it lists the bucket and carrier assembly (page 13), bucket cylinder assembly (page 141), and even the high-lift bucket (page 15). The manual also includes the machine serial number ranges that each section applies to: Waukesha 17123 thru 19127, G.M. 18340 thru 25540, Cummins 26123 thru 26365. When you call your Clark distributor, you give them the serial number and the part number from this book. That’s it. You don’t guess. You don’t measure three times. You order off the factory print.

Source Authenticity: OEM vs Aftermarket

I don’t trust aftermarket parts catalogs. They re-label parts, use generic photos, and miss supersessions. This is a direct scan of the original Clark Equipment Company publication — Michigan printed it, not some third-party compiler. The OCR shows the original “PARTS MANUAL No. 1363-R2” stamp and the warning: “To assure the best results and to maintain the original quality built into the machine it is important that genuine ‘Clark’ Parts be used.” That’s the OEM telling you what’s real. You won’t find that in a reprint from a parts warehouse. If you value your machine, you use the factory source.

FAQ

Does this parts catalog include torque specifications for bolts?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers and exploded views — not repair procedures or torque values. For service specs you need the factory service manual for the 175A.

What engine types does it cover?

CUMMINS, G.M., WAUKESHA DIESEL, and WAUKESHA GAS. Each engine has its own section for components like air cleaners, fuel lines, and accessories. The manual explicitly lists serial number ranges for each.
