Clark-hurth 175A Parts Catalog

If you are wrenching on a Clark-hurth 175A Michigan Tractor Shovel and you are ordering parts from memory or a aftermarket cross-reference, you are wasting time and risking a comeback. I have seen guys order the wrong brake chamber for a Series II because they skimmed a third-party list. That costs you a day and a half. This Parts Catalog is the official Clark-hurth document — 168 pages of factory part numbers, exploded views, and index that runs from Accelerator Pedal to Axle Tie Rod. You get the exact same spec sheet the dealer used in 1972.

Brake Assembly — Front page 48: Factory Part Numbers

Turn to page 48 and you will find the front brake assembly broken down with every spring, shoe, and air chamber identified by Clark’s own part numbering system. The listing for “Brake Assembly — Front” matches the index exactly; there is no generic “brake kit” that forces you to mix and match. You get the OEM number for the brake shoe set, the return springs, and the anchor pin. If your machine serial number falls in the range 175 G.M.-3HG101 thru 4HG999, this is the exact diagram that matches your axle. I have used this catalog to pull a parking brake assembly from page 50 and had the part show up fitting first time. That is the difference between factory data and a reprint house.

Cylinder, Boom page 68: Check Before You Order

Hydraulic cylinders on the 175A take a beating. The bucket cylinder assembly page 69 and the boom cylinder assembly page 68 show the rod seal, piston ring, and gland thread details. If you are rebuilding a boom cylinder and you grab a seal kit from a supply house without matching the part number from this catalog, you risk blowing a gland off under pressure. I have seen it happen. Page 68 gives you the entire cylinder disassembled with the correct part number for the seal kit — not a “universal” metric conversion. Use it.

7 Systems Covered: Engine, Transmission, Brakes, Hydraulics, Steering, Axle, Electrical

The index alone runs three pages. You get sections on the converter assembly (pages 29-30), the bucket and boom hydraulic pump (page 63), even the cigarette lighter (page 74) and clip chart (page 79). The manufacturer arranged this catalog so a mechanic can find any component without flipping through fifty pages. Need the steering cylinder assembly? Page 56. The front differential carrier? Page 39. Every assembly is listed with the parent part number and the sub-assembly numbers. That is how you do a proper teardown and rebuild without buying parts twice.

Who Should Use This Parts Catalog?

This is not a service manual — it is a parts identification document. If you own a Clark-hurth 175A tractor shovel and you do your own maintenance, you need this open on the bench while you write your parts order. A shop that charges by the hour does not have time to search through aftermarket catalogs; they hand this to the new guy and say “pull the part number off page 48.” Home garage guys who restore these machines find the bucket teeth data on page 5 and the decal set on page 77. Beginners should keep a highlighter handy because the index is dense, but the drawings are clear. You do not need to be a master tech to read a numbered arrow pointing to part number 123456.

Source Authenticity: Why Aftermarket Catalogs Fail

I have seen reprint houses take the original Clark manual, scan it crooked, and then renumber the index so it does not match the page numbers. That is unusable. This is an authentic OEM parts catalog from Clark Equipment Company’s Construction Machinery Division. The machine serial number range is printed on the first page. No third-party has touched the data. When you see “Cylinder, Boom” on page 68, it matches the original engineering release. Do not trust a parts list pulled from a forum — use the factory source.

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers, quantities, and exploded views. For torque values on head bolts, cylinder gland nuts, or brake mounting bolts, use the corresponding Clark service manual for the 175A.
