GEHL 2175 Parts Catalog

You open a parts catalog to find the exact part number, not to guess which aftermarket reprint got the bolt size wrong. This GEHL 2175 Parts Catalog is the factory document – 40 pages of straight-from-the-manufacturer exploded views, reference numbers, and torque values. I’ve seen too many guys waste an afternoon hunting for a PTO shaft seal because some third-party manual swapped two digits. Stop that. Get the original.

GEHL 2175 Parts Catalog – What’s Inside

The table of contents runs from Introduction to Numerical Index. You get decal locations (pages 2–3), tongue assembly (4–5), trailer frame with leg and pusharm (6–7), pusharm and hydraulics (8), wheel assembly (9), forming chamber (10–11), header frame and conditioner rollers (12–13), left and right conditioner sides (14–17), pitman and wobble arm drive (18–19), reel variable drive (20–21), reel (22–23), sickle and guards (24–25), components section covering tower-to-gearbox PTO, tower-to-tractor PTO, hitchjack, and gear box (26–29), and options & accessories like hydraulic tongue positioner, transport light kit, cutterbar wearplate kit (30–32). Every section uses exploded-view drawings with reference numbers that tie directly to the parts list. No decoding a blurry photocopy – this is the print the dealer uses.

3 Critical Sections You’ll Use on the Job

1. Sickle & Guards (24–25). If the cutterbar starts leaving ragged stubble, you need the correct section and guard part numbers. The catalog gives you the exact GEHL part for each component, including bolt grades and torque callouts where applicable.

2. Reel Variable Drive (20–21). The reel height and speed adjusters are a common failure point. The exploded view shows every sheave, belt, and spring, so you can order the right piece without pulling the whole header apart twice.

3. Standard Hardware Torque Specifications – Inside Back Cover. Bolts get loose fast on a mower conditioner if you don’t hit the right ft-lbs. The inside back cover lists attaching hardware torque values for Grade 5 fasteners, flange lock nuts, and more. Keep that page open when you reassemble.

Factory Parts Catalog vs. Aftermarket Reprints: What You Actually Get

Aftermarket “universal” parts books give you generic drawings and often use a different numbering system. This catalog uses GEHL’s own part numbers, and the reference notes explain whether a component is an assembly, a single bolt, or a “wet” lubricated part (shown with a teardrop symbol). The abbreviations table on page 2 decodes every fastener type – CS for cap screw, FCS for flanged cap screw, FLN for flanged lock nut. That matters when you’re ordering a replacement for a flanged bolt that holds the forming chamber together. You won’t get that from a reprint.

Who Needs This Catalog? (And Who Doesn’t)

If you own a GEHL 2175 Mower Conditioner and you’re tired of paying dealer markups on parts you could identify yourself, this is for you. Home garage mechanics who maintain their own hay equipment will save hours by having the part number ready before calling the counter. Professional shop owners – hand this to your techs so they stop pulling the wrong seal. The only person who doesn’t need it is someone who already has the original paper manual under the shop stool.

Questions About this GEHL 2175 Parts Catalog

Does this catalog include torque values for every bolt?

It includes a standard attaching hardware torque table on the inside back cover. Specific torque callouts appear on individual exploded views when required (shown as a number inside a hexagon).

Can I use this to repair the PTO gearbox itself?

A parts catalog gives you exploded views and part numbers, not step-by-step disassembly instructions. For gearbox overhaul, you’ll want the service manual. But this catalog will tell you which shim, bearing, and seal to order. That’s half the battle.

Is this the same manual the dealer uses?

Yes. It’s the original GEHL Service Parts Manual, Form No. 906693. The dealer counter uses the same part numbers. No aftermarket copy, no scanned reprint – this is the factory file.

What if I need a part for a different GEHL model?
