Description

Michigan 35AWS Parts Catalog

If you’ve ever stood in front of a parts counter trying to explain which 35AWS you own, you know the pain. Three different engine options—Continental, Waukesha, GM—and serial number ranges that determine everything. One wrong digit and you’re waiting another week for a return. That’s what this 252-page Parts Catalog eliminates. It’s the factory print from Clark Equipment Company, not a scanned copy of a copy. The part numbers are what the assembly line used.

Every component on a Michigan 35AWS tractor shovel gets its own exploded view and part number listing. The index starts with Accelerator Pedal and Linkage (pages 8, 9, 11) and runs through Coil (page 2) and Clip Chart (page 105). That means you can find the part for the bucket cylinder, the steering cylinder, the brake master cylinder, the transmission control valve, the torque converter charging pump—everything that bolts onto a 35AWS. Each entry points to the exact page with the exploded diagram and part numbers. You do not have to guess which seal fits which bore.

Boom, Bucket, and Valve Assemblies: Where the Rubber Meets the Road

The Air Breather Check Valve lives on page 43. The Bucket Control Valve Assembly is on page 91. The Bucket Level Valve appears on page 85. These pages show every spring, spool, and O-ring with a part number. If you’re rebuilding the hydraulic system, you need this manual to order the correct kit. Aftermarket catalogs often combine multiple models into one drawing—this one is pure 35AWS.

3 Serial Number Ranges You Need to Know

Page 1 lists three distinct serial number ranges: Continental (C3WC09-10 through C3WC09-999), Waukesha (C3WA9-10 through C3WA9-999), and GM (C3WG9-10 through C3WG9-999 plus C5WG9-10 through C5WG9-999). Machines with prefixes C5WC09, C5WA9, or C7WG9 are covered by supplements in the rear. Always match your serial number before ordering. The manual tells you exactly which parts apply to which build.

Why the Michigan 35AWS Parts Catalog Belongs on Your Bench

This is not a service manual—it won’t tell you how to remove the axle or what torque to use on the wheel cylinder bolts. But if you need to order a replacement axle housing or a brake wheel cylinder for the front or rear brake assembly (pages 59-60), you get the Clark part number, not a generic cross-reference. The Axle Assembly – Front Drive Steer (pages 49,51) and Rear Drive Steer (page 55) are broken down into every bearing, seal, and shaft. The Tie Rod (page 58) shows both ends. The Battery Cables (page 104) list gauge and length. This level of detail saves you from ordering the wrong alternator bracket because the parts counter read “similar” instead of “exact.”

Does This Manual Cover the Air Breather Check Valve?

Yes. It’s listed on pages 43 and 45 under both “Air Breather Check Valve” and “Check Valve, Air Breather.” The book uses cross-references in the index so you can find it either way. Other components like the Converter Assembly, Torque (page 41), Converter Charging Pump (page 41), and the Converter to Transmission Propeller Shaft (page 46) are all present. Every assembly is drawn with the parts in place—no missing pieces.

Get the Part Number Right the First Time

Use the index to locate your component. Turn to the page. Find the callout number on the illustration. Read the part number and description. That’s it. No decoding, no guessing. The Clip Chart on page 105 even lists the retention clips, their sizes, and where they go. If you need a clutch group for forward, reverse, low, or high (pages 34-35), the manual shows the entire assembly with individual discs, plates, and pistons. For the transmission control valve (pages 36-37), every spring and plunger is numbered. For the bucket linkage and indicator (page 21), the cutting edges (page 21) are listed separately. This manual is the definitive source.

Source Authenticity: OEM Factory Print vs Aftermarket

This is an original Clark Equipment Company parts manual, part number 2320, printed in the USA. The text on page 1 states: “To assure the best results and to maintain the original quality built into the machine it is important that only Clark-Approved Parts be used.” That warning is from the manufacturer. Aftermarket parts catalogs often skip the serial number breakdowns and use generic drawings. Here, every page matches the original engineering release. You are not getting a third-party compilation. You are getting the exact document the dealer used to stock parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this manual include torque specifications?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. Torque values are found in the corresponding service manual for the Michigan 35AWS.

How do I find the correct part number for my machine?

Match your machine serial number to the ranges listed on page 1: Continental C3WC09-10 thru C3WC09-999, Waukesha C3WA9-10 thru C3WA9-999, or GM C3WG9-10 thru C3WG9-999 and C5WG9-10 thru C5WG9-999. Then locate the part in the index, turn to the page, and verify the part number. Also check the Supplements in the rear of the manual if your serial prefix differs (e.g., C5WC09, C5WA9, C7WG9). Those supplements cover optional power plants and newer serial ranges. The index covers every component from Accelerator Pedal to Wheel Cylinder, and each entry gives you the exact part number and illustration callout. Do not skip the serial number check—ordering the wrong part costs time and freight.

Can I use this manual for a different model?

No. This catalog is specific to the Michigan 35AWS Tractor Shovel.

What if my serial number is not listed in the main ranges?

Refer to the Supplements in the rear of the manual, which cover optional power plants and newer serial ranges. If your machine serial starts with C5WC09, C5WA9, or C7WG9, the supplements contain the correct parts.
