GEHL 1470 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs for Your Baler

I’ve been turning wrenches in San Antonio for 28 years, and I’ve lost count of how many times a missing part number or wrong torque value has cost a full afternoon. When a GEHL 1470 Parts Catalog shows up on the bench, I know the job is going to get done right. This is the real deal – a direct copy of what the factory ships with the machine, not something a third party threw together from a blurry scan. 62 pages, every fastener called out with grade and size, every assembly exploded so you can see exactly how it goes back together. That matters when you’re pulling a transmission or rebuilding the pickup lift.

Lost a belt or need to confirm a seal diameter? The exploded views in this manual go system by system: Frame & Fenders, Left/Right Twine Box, Drawbar & Ramps, Implement Driveline & Gearbox, Pickup Lift & Overfill Clutch, Bale Starter & Scraper, Shuttle & Bale Size Indicator, Roller Drives, Upper Belts & Rollers, Lower Rollers, Gate Hydraulics, Rear Gate, Total Density Control, Cross Frame & Twine Tie Mechanism, Transmissions, Universal Drives, Hitchjacks, TDC Cylinder, plus Options & Accessories. Each section has reference numbers tied to the parts list, and torque values are called out in foot‑pounds right on the diagram. You don’t guess – you read the hexagon.

62 Pages of Factory Exploded Views

Every page in this catalog is a direct scan from the original GEHL print. The OCR excerpt from Page 1 shows the exact layout: model, form number, and the note that right and left are determined from the rear facing forward. That’s the kind of detail that keeps you from installing parts backwards. The manual even includes a full abbreviation key (CS, FCS, FLN, FW, etc.) so you know what you’re ordering. Standard torque values for Grade 5 hardware are on the inside back cover – I’ve used that page more times than I can count.

Transmissions: Two Pages of Drivetrain Specs

The Transmissions section spans pages 34‑35, covering the gearbox and driveline components specific to the 1470. Exploded views show every shaft, bearing, and gear with its factory part number. If you’re chasing a rattle or replacing seals, this is where you start. No generic cross‑references – just OEM numbers that match what GEHL put on the line. The universal drives are covered on pages 35‑37, so you get the whole drivetrain in one place.

What Torque Values Are Listed in the Standard Hardware Section?

Inside back cover gives you a full table for Grade 5 cap screws and bolts, Grade B hex nuts, and lock washers. Torque is in foot‑pounds for every diameter from 1/4‑inch up. You don’t need a separate chart – it’s right there with the parts list. And if you see a hexagon symbol next to a reference number on an exploded view, that number inside is the exact torque for that fastener. No rounding, no “tight enough”.

Options & Accessories: The Parts You Might Not Expect

Pages 41‑50 cover add‑ons like the 1000 RPM Conversion Kit, Manual‑Electric Twine Tie Control Kit, Crowder Wheel Kit, Stripper Assembly Kit, and even an Automatic Chain Oiler. Each kit has its own exploded view and parts list. If your 1470 came with any of these, you need this section to order the right components. The Actuator is on page 41, the Control Box on page 45 – all factory sourced.

One thing I respect about this catalog: it tells you when a part is not available for individual purchase. Items in the parts list that lack reference numbers are shown for reference only – you can’t buy them separately. That saves you a call to the dealer wondering why a bolt isn’t listed. The manual also spells out tire replacement policy: GEHL won’t sell you a tire, you buy it locally, but they give you wheel sets and tire sizes. Straightforward.

Get the Right Part Numbers from the Index

At the back, you get an alphabetical index and a numerical index spanning pages 53‑57. Punch in a part number you found on the machine, and it takes you straight to the page and reference number. The Sprocket & Roller Part Number Guide on page 51 is a standalone reference – if you’ve got a 40‑tooth sprocket and need its GEHL number, this saves you flipping through the whole book.

If you’re working on other GEHL equipment, check out the GEHL 1870, 1470 Operators Manual – Factory Baler Specs & Torque for the full operator instructions. For compact loaders, GEHL SL4640, SL4840, SL5640, SL6640 2005 Parts Catalog covers the older models, and GEHL SL7610, SL7710, SL7810 2005 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs handles the 7000 series. If you’re curious about the diesel engine in your baler, see this Wikipedia article on diesel engines for background on the powerplant.

Is this manual the same as a service manual for the GEHL 1470?

No. This is a parts catalog – it shows exploded views and part numbers, not repair procedures. You pair it with the factory service manual for disassembly steps.

Does it include serial number break information?

The introduction tells you where to find the model and serial number on the machine (under the top channel near the left frame assembly), but the parts catalog itself does not break out changes by serial number. If GEHL updated a part, you’ll need a dealer to confirm fit for your unit’s SN range. That said, the exploded views are accurate for the production run covered by form number 908006.

If you’ve got a GEHL 1470 baler on your lot or in your customer’s yard, this catalog is the only way to order the factory parts without guessing. Every page is a direct scan from the original print – no reprints, no third‑party guesswork. Access the Factory Manual and keep it on your tablet or printed out. When a customer brings in a baler with a torn belt and you need the correct roller assembly number, you’ll thank yourself for having this on the bench.
