Michigan 275 III A Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Specs

If you’ve ever spent a Saturday chasing the wrong part number for a 275 III A, you know the drill. Aftermarket catalogs guess. OEM specs don’t. This Michigan 275 III A Parts Catalog is the factory-issued document that lists every bolt, seal, and gear in this articulated tractor shovel. 154 pages of straight factory data – exploded views and original part numbers only.

Engine and Accessories – Page 1 Coverage

The manual opens with engine support parts and accessories (page 1). You get the hourmeter, air cleaner connections, and all the small brackets. If you need the correct fuel tank cap or radiator cap, those are indexed too. The key here is that every part number comes straight from Clark Equipment, not a reprint house that scanned a fuzzy copy.

Brake System Parts: Front and Rear Axle Assemblies

Brakes on a 275 III A are no joke. The manual splits front and rear drive axles (front axle assembly starts page 39). It covers the air brake valve, brake chambers, slack adjusters, and the parking brake assembly. When you’re ordering air lines or a new brake valve, you need the exact part number – this catalog gives it to you.

Transmission and Torque Converter – What the Manual Shows

For transmission work, the catalog organizes the case, clutch groups (first/second and input-reverse-third-fourth), torque converter assembly, charging pump, and filter cartridge kits. Every component is listed with its factory part number. If you need the transmission oil filler cap or breather, it’s in there.

3 Reasons to Rely on the OEM Parts Catalog

One: Clark Equipment printed this manual – it’s the same one dealers use. Two: The part numbers are verified against the actual machine serial ranges (5AJC101 and up). Three: The exploded views show how components fit together, which saves you assembly headaches. Aftermarket books reuse diagrams that may not match your build date.

Get the Right Valve and Control Group Data

Hydraulic control valve assembly, steering cylinder, boom and bucket cylinders – all have dedicated pages. The steering system includes the hydraulic pump and filter assembly. If you’re rebuilding the bucket and boom hydraulic system, the manual lists every seal and port. For the valve groups, you get the exact part numbers for spools, springs, and housings.

Does This Manual Cover the Hydraulic Systems?

Yes, both the bucket/boom system and the steering system are covered. The hydraulic oil reservoir cap and dipstick are listed, along with filter assemblies (suction and pressure). But remember – this is a parts catalog. For service procedures like torque specs and fluid capacities, you need the service repair manual. That said, having the correct part number is half the battle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this catalog to order replacement bucket teeth?

Yes. The manual lists bucket teeth, cutting edges, and the bucket seat assembly on their respective pages.

How are the brake assemblies organized in the manual?

The brake section splits into front and rear drive axle assemblies (front axle starts page 39), with slack adjusters listed separately. The parking brake assembly is under its own heading, and the brake valve and controls are grouped together. Each component has an exploded view and a factory part number. If you need the air brake valve or a brake chamber, you’ll find it by scanning the index under “Brake.” The manual also covers air lines and the air reservoir, so you get the full pneumatic brake system in one place.

Does the catalog include wiring diagrams?

It includes electrical component listings like ammeter, starter button, and wiring harnesses, but for full wiring schematics you need the service manual.

What is the serial number range covered?

Cummins 275 III A from 5AJC101 through 5AJC999 and 6AJC101 thereafter.
