GEHL 1375 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Parts Manual

I’ve seen too many mechanics order a “close enough” part and end up with a baler that won’t tie a knot. The GEHL 1375 Parts Catalog kills that guesswork. This is the same 90-page binder the dealer keeps behind the counter – original GEHL print, not some aftermarket copy with fuzzy diagrams and wrong reference numbers. Page 2 tells you exactly how to read the exploded views: the tear drop symbol means a wet seal, the hexagon number is torque in foot-pounds, and any item without a reference number is not available for sale. That kind of detail keeps you from wasting time on parts that don’t exist.

Why a Factory Parts Catalog for the GEHL 1375?

Aftermarket parts lists leave out half the hardware. You don’t get the flanged lock nuts, the Grade 5 cap screw callouts, or the correct cotter pin sizes. Here you get every fastener described with the exact abbreviation from the table on page 2: CS for cap screw, FCS for flanged cap screw, SERR for serrated. If you’re rebuilding the packing roller or replacing the bale starter assembly, you need the part numbers straight from the source. This catalog covers the whole machine: from the front frame (page 10) through the tailgate hydraulics (pages 38-39) and on to the twine wrap control (pages 54-55).

90 Pages of Exploded Views and Reference Numbers

Each section is a separate subsystem. The pickup alone runs from page 40 to 49 – reel, frame, guides, idler, right and left headers, lift, and overfill clutch. You get a clean exploded drawing and a parts list that matches the reference numbers. No squinting at a photocopy. The numerical index (pages 80-86) lets you cross-reference any part number fast. For example, need the actuator on page 73? The index tells you exactly where it lives. That’s a time-saver when the customer is waiting and the machine is down.

Torque Specs: Inside Back Cover

Standard attaching hardware torque values are printed on the inside back cover. That’s not just a generic chart – it’s the spec GEHL uses for every bolt on this baler. Grade 5, grade B nuts, all in foot-pounds. I’ve seen stripped threads on the gearbox drive because someone used a universal torque table. Use the factory numbers or don’t bother. For fluid-related joints, the tear drop symbol on the diagram tells you to apply a wet product – the manual specifies which one in the parts list.

Decal Locations and Right/Left Orientation

You order the wrong decal because you mixed up left and right. This manual sets it straight: “Right” and “Left” are determined from a position standing at the rear of the unit facing the direction of travel. The baler drive sprocket on the transmission output shaft is on the left side. Decal locations are mapped on pages 2-8. If you need a safety decal or a serial number decal, you get the exact part number. The model number decal is under the top channel near the center column of the right frame assembly – the manual tells you that. That sort of detail saves a phone call to the dealer.

Who Needs This Manual?

If you own a GEHL 1375 round baler and you’re replacing any worn part – belts, chains, bearings, hydraulic cylinders – you need the factory parts catalog. DIY mechanics working in a home garage who are tired of ordering the wrong sprocket size will appreciate the exploded views. Professionals who bill by the hour can’t afford to cross-check three different sources. This is the single document that shows you every nut, bolt, spring, and hose. Related manuals for other models include GEHL SL4640, SL4840, SL5640, SL6640 2005 Parts Catalog, GEHL SL7610, SL7710, SL7810 2005 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs, and GEHL RS6-34 2013 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Manual.

The manual’s gearbox section references PTO speeds – this Wikipedia article on diesel engines explains the principles behind power take-off.

Source Validity: Original GEHL Print

This is not a scan of a scan. It’s the actual OEM document, form number 908172, replacing 908043. GEHL reserves the right to make design changes without updating old catalogs, but this is the version you’d get from the factory. The abbreviations, torque specs, and part numbers are all original. I’ve seen aftermarket manuals that list a wrong bolt grade – that costs you time and money. With this one, what you see is what GEHL used when the baler left the factory.

Does this catalog include service procedures like disassembly instructions?

No. It’s a parts catalog, not a service manual. You get exploded views, part numbers, and torque specs – no removal or overhaul steps.

How do I read the reference numbers with the hexagon and tear drop symbols?

On the exploded view, a tear drop symbol means the joint requires a wet product (oil, sealant) and the number inside the tear drop matches the description in the parts list. A number inside a hexagon is the torque value in foot-pounds for that specific reference number. Items listed without a reference number are shown for reference only and are not available for purchase. Always check the inside back cover for standard hardware torque values, and use the abbreviation table on page 2 to decode fastener descriptions like CS (cap screw), FCS (flanged cap screw), or FLN (flanged lock nut). This system is precise – follow it and you’ll order the right parts every time.
