Michigan 35 AWS-R Parts Catalog

You have a Michigan 35 AWS-R on the lot, and the brake pedal goes to the floor. You pull the wheel cylinder, but the casting number is worn off. You call the parts house, and they ask for a serial number and a part number you don’t have. That is where this Michigan 35 AWS-R Parts Catalog pays for itself. 185 pages of factory exploded views, Clark part numbers, and assembly breakdowns for every system on this machine. I have torqued thousands of head bolts, and I know the difference between getting the right brake cylinder gasket on the first try and pulling a part that doesn’t fit. This catalog stops that guesswork cold.

It covers the brake assemblies front and rear, the parking brake controls, the brake cylinders, and every seal and retainer.

Brake Assembly: Front-Rear and Parking

Two separate brake assemblies live in this catalog: the front-rear service brakes and the parking brake. Each one gets its own exploded diagram with callouts to part numbers. The parking brake linkage section shows the cable routing and the adjustment bracket. If you need the wheel cylinder for the front axle, the cylinder listing appears under “Cylinder, Brake Wheel” with the exact Clark part number. No third-party cross-reference to guess at.

Boom and Bucket Hydraulic System

The boom arm, bucket control linkage, and hydraulic cylinders for both are laid out in separate sections. The bucket and boom hydraulic system page shows the main control valve and the line routing. That cylinder for the bucket, part number listed right next to the rod seal dimensions. You also get the steering hydraulic pump and the main hydraulic pump sections, complete with all fittings and gaskets.

Order Parts Correctly – Serial Numbers Matter

Look at page 1 of the catalog: it tells you to record your machine serial number and to always include it when ordering parts. The factory says “It is important the genuine Clark Parts be used.” If you skip that step, you risk getting the wrong clutch pack or the wrong axle shaft for your 35 AWS-R. This catalog gives you the serial number ranges in each section so you order the correct revision.

What This Catalog Covers

The index runs from accelerator pedal linkage through the transmission assembly. You get front and rear drive steer axle assemblies, differentials, planet spiders, propeller shafts, torque converter, transmission (forward, reverse, low and high), electrical equipment, radiator, fuel tank, cab parts, seat, steering gear, and the counterweight. Everything from the battery carrier to the bucket cutting edges. If it bolts onto a 35 AWS-R, it is in here with a drawing and a part number.

OEM vs Aftermarket: The 35 AWS-R Parts Problem

Aftermarket catalogs often collapse multiple years into one diagram and miss the mid-production changes. This is the original Clark Equipment print, not a third-party reprint. The brake assembly for the front axle shows the exact configuration for the 35 AWS-R with the rear steer option. Compare that to a generic wheel loader parts list, and you will find missing brackets and wrong bolt lengths. That costs you billable hours. Stick with the factory source.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this catalog for the 35 AWS-R with a different serial number range?

Not safely. The catalog covers specific serial number breaks. Use your machine serial to verify.

Does this catalog include torque specifications?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers and exploded views, not assembly torque values.

How do I find the part number for the brake cylinder?

Go to the Brake Assembly section for front or rear. Find the exploded diagram that shows the wheel cylinder. The callout number maps to a parts list next to the drawing. That list gives you the Clark part number, quantity, and description. Cross-check the page number listed in the index for “Cylinder, Brake Wheel” – it points to the exact sheet. Once you have the part number, give it to your distributor along with your machine serial number. That guarantees you get the correct brake cylinder for your 35 AWS-R without a return trip.

Is this a reprint or original?

Original factory PDF from Clark Equipment. No scanner artifacts, clear drawings.

You need the right part the first time on a loader this old. Access the Factory Manual and keep it on your tablet or print the page for the brake you are rebuilding. It will save you one trip to the parts counter every time.
