GEHL 170 Parts Catalog – No Aftermarket Guessing

If you are ordering parts for a GEHL 170 Parts Catalog machine, you know the drill – you pull a part, squint at a worn number, then spend an hour chasing cross-references. I have watched guys order the wrong seal three times because they used a third-party list. This 60-page Parts Catalog from GEHL cuts that crap out. It is the same book your dealer uses. The one with the part numbers, the fastener grades, and the torque specs printed on the inside back cover. No reprints. No scanned blurs. Original factory PDF.

Attaching Hardware and Torque Specifications

You want to know what grade bolt goes where? Page 2 spells out the abbreviations and the grades. Unless otherwise specified, cap screws are Grade 5, cadmium or zinc plated. Hexagon nuts for Grade 5 screws are Grade B. Standard attaching hardware torque values sit on the inside back cover. Do not guess. If you snap a bolt in the mixer frame, that bill comes out of your pocket. GEHL 170 Operators Manual – Factory Specs for Mixall Grinder Mixer includes the operating torque values for routine service, but this parts catalog gives you the mounting hardware torque.

How Many Pages Does This Parts Catalog Cover?

60 pages. Not 50, not 80. 60. That includes the Numerical Index, the Attaching Hardware section, and the Torque Specifications. Every page is a scan of the original printed manual, not a re-typeset copy. You get the exact part numbers GEHL stamped on the line. When you call the parts counter, you read off the number from this book. They order it. Done.

3 Reasons to Use OEM Parts Manuals

1. Part numbers match the machine. Aftermarket catalogs sometimes swap a fastener because it “looks close.” Close gets you a cracked housing.
2. Torque values are factory-tested. The inside back cover of this catalog lists the standard attaching hardware torque. If you need the specific torque for a cap screw, it is there.
3. Abbreviations are defined on page 2. CS, GR, LN – you do not have to guess whether CS means cap screw or carriage bolt. The manual tells you.

Understand the Numerical Index Before Ordering

Open the catalog, go to the Numerical Index. That index cross-references every part number in the book to the page where it appears. You find the number, flip to the page, see the exploded view and the part description. This is not a service manual – it is a parts manual. If you need repair procedures, grab the GEHL SL4640, SL4840, SL5640, SL6640 2005 Parts Catalog for that loader line. But for the 170 Roller Mixer, this is your one reference for ordering.

One more thing: the manual says “Right” and “Left” are determined from behind the mixer. Unloading conveyor is on the left, feeder on the right. Sounds obvious, but I have seen guys order a left-hand part for the right side because they stood in front. Read the intro.

Parts Catalog vs Service Manual: What’s the Difference?

This is a Parts Catalog, not a service manual. It does not tell you how to rebuild the gearbox. What it gives you is the exact part number for every bolt, nut, bearing, and seal on the 170 Roller Mixer, form number 907050. If you need to know the hydraulic pump part number, it is here. If you need a wiring diagram, you need the service manual. But for ordering, you want this catalog. For torque specs on diesel engine mounting bolts, this Wikipedia article on diesel engines gives you background, but the actual torque values for the mixer come from the inside back cover of this book – and this Wikipedia article on diesel engines explains why those specs matter for the engine side.

Also check the GEHL SL7610, SL7710, SL7810 2005 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs if you run a skid loader for the same farm.

Bottom line: Stop ordering parts blind. Get the factory parts list, verify the number, torque the hardware to spec. Access the Factory Manual and have the full 60 pages on your tablet or printed for the shop wall.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this parts catalog include service procedures?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers, hardware specs, and torque values for attaching hardware. For repair steps, you need the service manual.

Will the torque specs work for my 170 Roller Mixer serial number?

Standard attaching hardware torque values are generic for Grade 5 fasteners. If your machine has special torque requirements (like wheel bolts), those are called out in the specific assembly pages. This is the same book GEHL shipped with the machine.

Can I return this if I order the wrong part?

Check the return policy on the site. The manual is a digital access, so returns are handled differently than a physical book. Make sure you verify the model and serial number before purchase.

How do I find a part number in this catalog?

Use the Numerical Index at the front. Every part number in the manual is listed alphabetically/numerically with the page where it appears. Or flip to the section for the assembly you need – the table of contents lists the assemblies.

Access the Factory Manual and stop guessing part numbers. 60 pages of OEM data, torque specifications, and attaching hardware. No fluff.
