GEHL 1475, 1875 Parts Catalog

If you’ve ever ordered a replacement part for a GEHL round baler and ended up with the wrong bearing or sprocket because the catalog you used was a generic reprint, you know the frustration. I’ve seen it cost guys a full day of downtime. That’s why this factory GEHL 1475, 1875 Parts Catalog is the only source I trust for part numbers and exploded views.

GEHL 1475, 1875 Parts Catalog: What’s Inside

This 128-page document is the original OEM parts manual, not a third-party reprint. The table of contents runs from decal locations (pages 2-6) clear through to standard hardware torque specifications on the inside back cover. Every assembly you’ll touch on these round balers is broken down into exploded views with reference numbers. Pick any section – Pickup pages 48-57, Tailgate Hydraulics 44-47, or the Bale Starter 28-29 – and you get the exact part numbers GEHL used at the factory. No guesswork, no cross-referencing aftermarket catalogs that might use superseded numbers. The manual also includes a numerical index (pages 113-124) so you can look up a part number and find which assembly it belongs to.

7 Key Assemblies You’ll Reference Most Often

Over the years I’ve rebuilt more balers than I can count, and these are the sections I see guys flipping to constantly. The Pickup assembly (48-57) includes the reel, frame, guides, lift, and the overfill clutch. The Gearbox Drive (10-11) and Drive Rollers (20-21) are common wear items. The Twine Wrap systems – both automatic and manual (68-83) – have their own dedicated pages with valve and actuator part numbers. The Automatic Bale Control section (70-78) covers the electrical and hydraulic components that govern bale density. And the Options & Accessories pages (95-99) include kits like the Crowder Wheel Kit and Chain Oiler that often get misplaced in generic catalogs.

Get the Right Part Numbers from Exploded Views

Each exploded view in this manual uses a reference number system. Next to that number, you might see a tear drop symbol indicating a wet product (oil or grease) – the number inside tells you the exact lubricant. And a number inside a hexagon is the torque value in foot-pounds for that fastener. That alone will save you from snapping bolts or under-tightening critical joints. The manual also lists fastener grades: all cap screws are Grade 5 cadmium plated unless otherwise noted. Hex nuts follow Grade B for Grade 5 screws. That level of detail keeps you from mixing hardware grades on a repair.

Torque Specs and Hardware Grades: Inside Back Cover

Standard attaching hardware torque values are printed on the inside back cover. That page is worth the price of the manual by itself. You don’t need to hunt through the whole book – it’s right there when you’re at the shop bench. The manual also includes an abbreviations table covering everything from CS (Cap Screw) to FLN (Flanged Lock Nut). If you’re working on a baler that sees heavy loads, using the correct torque on the packing roller shafts or the tailgate hydraulics matters. A loose bolt there can shift alignment and wreck a bearing in under 50 bales.

Why Factory Documentation Beats Aftermarket Copies

I’ve seen aftermarket parts catalogs that combine multiple models into one confusing drawing, or worse, use generic part numbers that don’t match the OEM supersession chain. This manual is an official GEHL publication – form number 908173, replacing 907522. It covers both the 1475 and 1875 models with separate exploded views and part numbers. If you need to order a replacement part, the reference number from the manual corresponds directly to GEHL’s inventory. The manual also includes service kit information for electrical connectors (page 111) and a complete alphabetical index (page 112). That’s the kind of detail you need when a baler is down during harvest season.

For more background on the diesel engines that often power these balers through the PTO, check out this Wikipedia article on diesel engines for basic principles. And if you’re running a GEHL skid steer alongside your baler, the this Wikipedia article on diesel engines covers common diesel engine specs that apply to both machines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this catalog to look up part numbers for both the 1475 and 1875 models?

Yes. The manual covers both models with separate exploded views and part numbers. The table of contents lists assemblies that apply to each model. Pay attention to the model indicator in the drawing titles – some parts are specific to one model.

Does this manual include torque specifications for bolts?

Yes. Standard hardware torque values are on the inside back cover. Some specific fasteners also have torque values shown in a hexagon symbol next to the reference number in the exploded views.

What should I do if I can’t find a part number in the numerical index?

Check the alphabetical index on page 112 first – it groups parts by name. If that doesn’t work, the part may be listed as “Not Available” because it’s part of a larger assembly. The manual marks reference items that are not available separately.

Is this manual an original OEM document or a reprint?

It is the original factory PDF, identical to what GEHL dealers use. The form number 908173 confirms it’s an official GEHL Agriculture publication. No scan of a scan – direct from the OEM file.
