Michigan 35AWS 1966 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Parts Manual

You’re working on a Michigan 35AWS 1966 Parts Catalog tractor shovel, and you need to order a part. The local parts guy asks for the part number, and you stare at the burnt-out hydraulic line. You’ve been there. This 1966 Parts Catalog from Clark Equipment is the only way to get the right part the first time. It’s 167 pages of factory diagrams, part numbers, and exploded views. No aftermarket reprints. No third-party nonsense. I’ve torqued enough bolts to know that guessing a part number costs you a day of downtime. This manual stops that.

Brake Air Lines: Why Sections A and B Are Critical

Brake air lines on the 35AWS are split into two sections in this catalog: Section A (page B5) and Section B (page B7). Each section has its own exploded view and part number listings. On page 5 of the manual, Clark tells you to always provide the machine serial number when ordering. That’s because small changes in serial number range mean different parts. You can’t swap Section A lines for Section B—they’re routed differently. This catalog gives you the exact breakdown. No aftermarket catalog covers this split.

Cylinder Assemblies: Boom and Bucket (Sections C8 and C9)

The boom cylinder assembly (C8) and bucket cylinder assembly (C9) are two distinct groups. Each has seals, rods, and end caps listed separately. I’ve seen guys order a “cylinder rebuild kit” from an aftermarket supplier and get the wrong bore size. This parts catalog lists the correct part numbers for each component. If your bucket cylinder leaks, you look up C9 and find the exact seal kit part. No guessing.

Engine Parts Coverage: Air Cleaner to Alternator (Sections E7–E13)

Engine parts start at the battery (E7) and run through the alternator (E12), air compressor (E12), air cleaner (E13), and fan belt (E12). The catalog includes exploded diagrams for each assembly. Need the correct belt length? The part number is listed. Want the air cleaner element? It’s there. Aftermarket catalogs often merge multiple models into one diagram. This is specific to the 35AWS with Perkins 457A101CAC engine and after. No cross-referencing needed.

167 Pages of Factory Indexing: Why It’s Better Than Aftermarket

This is a 167-page alphabetical index. Not a service manual. Not a reprint. It’s the original Clark Equipment Parts Manual No. 3039. Every part has a number and a reference to the section. The TOC lists everything from ‘Adjusting’ to ‘Windshield’—over 100 sections. When you need a part for your 35AWS, you open to the index, find the component, and get the section. Then you call your Clark distributor with the part number. That’s how you get the right part. I’ve been in shops where they kept this manual next to the computer terminal. It’s that reliable. Other variations include Michigan 35AWS Parts Catalog for earlier serial ranges. Period.

How to Use This Manual With Your 35AWS

First, record your machine serial number on page 1. The manual covers Perkins 457A101CAC and after. If your machine serial is earlier, you need Michigan Model 35AWS Tractor Shovel Parts Manual No. 2320 – Section: Electrical or MICHIGAN 35AWS TRACTOR SHOVEL PARTS MANUAL No. 2874. After you have the correct manual, use the alphabetical index. Each section has exploded diagrams with callouts. Find the part number, then order from your distributor. The warranty on page 3 says Clark warrants parts for six months. But that warranty is void if you use non-Clark parts. So use the factory numbers. The construction equipment industry falls under the broader Automotive Industry Overview, but tractor shovels have their own specific standards.

FAQ

Is this manual a service or repair manual?

No. This is a parts catalog for identifying and ordering correct factory parts. It does not contain repair procedures or torque specs.

What if my machine serial number is not in the range listed?

The manual explicitly covers machines with Perkins 457A101CAC and after. If your serial is earlier, you need a different parts manual (see related manuals above). Clark also issued supplements and revisions after 1966. If your machine is later, there may be updates. Your best bet is to contact a Clark distributor with your serial number and ask for the correct parts manual. I’ve seen instances where a small serial number change means a different brake valve. This manual is for the specific range printed on page 1. Don’t assume it covers all 35AWS ever built.

If you’re working on a Michigan 35AWS, you need the correct parts. This 1966 OEM catalog is the only source you can trust. Access the Factory Manual and stop wasting time on parts counter guesswork.
