Got a Clark-hurth 55R or 55AWS tractor shovel on the lift and need to source a part? Don’t waste time chasing wrong numbers. That’s what this Parts Catalog from 1965 is for. It’s factory-issued, not some third-party reprint. I’ve seen too many guys order the wrong bearing because they used an online parts lookup that didn’t match serial number breaks. This book will keep you straight.
Parts Breakdown for the 55R and 55AWS
Each group in this catalog – engine, transmission, hydraulics, final drive, steering – is laid out with exploded views and factory part numbers. You get the exact same drawings the line mechanics used at Clark Equipment in 1965. Serial number ranges are printed right on page 1 and page 5. For the 55R, that covers 4051A101EN through 4055C101EN. The 55AWS includes 4054A101EN through 4055C101EN. Match your machine’s serial to the range before you order anything.
What’s Inside This 1965 Manual?
Over 244 pages of parts information, including the warranty page, general overhaul instructions, and a complete index. Every section uses the original Clark part numbers – no renumbered aftermarket garbage. You’ll find the correct seals, bearings, filters, and gaskets. The hydraulic section alone shows every line, fitting, and cylinder with the factory number. If you’ve ever fought a parts counter guy who can’t find a listing, this manual ends the argument.
244 Pages of Factory Data
That’s 244 pages of pure OEM data. Aftermarket parts catalogs compress diagrams, skip serial splits, and sometimes mislabel parts. Clark-hurth’s own catalog from 1965 doesn’t do that. It’s the same document that came from the factory in Camberley, Surrey, England. I’ve used reprints in the past – they lose resolution on the diagrams, and page numbers get blurred. This is the original scan, readable and complete.
Verify Your Serial Number Range
Before you cross-reference any part, check your machine’s serial number against the lists on page 1 and page 5. The 55R serials run from 4051A101EN thru 4052C101EN and beyond; the 55AWS includes 4054A101EN thru 4055C101EN. If your machine falls outside these ranges, you might need a different manual. Don’t guess – confirm it. I’ve had guys ignore the serial range and end up with a steering cylinder that’s three inches too long.
OEM Parts Catalog: Why It Matters
When you’re working on heavy equipment, every nut and washer matters. A wrong o-ring on a hydraulic line can dump a load. This catalog gives you the factory part number, not a “cross-reference” that might be off by a thousandth. Using OEM specs keeps the machine safe and keeps the repair from bouncing back. The Automotive Industry Overview discusses broader standards, but for a 55R or 55AWS, you need this specific book.
