GEHL 2500, 2600, 2800 Parts Catalog – OEM Parts Breakdown for the Workbench

I’ve been turning wrenches for 28 years. If you’re trying to order parts for a GEHL 2500, 2600, or 2800 Quick Wrap attachment without the factory parts catalog, you’re asking for a headache. Aftermarket part numbers don’t match. Bolt grades get guessed. You end up with Grade 2 bolts where Grade 5 belongs, and that’s a failure waiting to happen. This 28-page Parts Catalog from GEHL Agriculture is the only document you should touch when chasing part numbers, torque values, or wiring routing. It’s the OEM source, printed on paper you can get greasy.

Right off the bat, page 1 tells you the basics: specify the correct part number, full description, quantity, model number, and serial number. The decal with that information lives on the right panel behind the shield. Right and left are determined standing at the rear of the unit facing direction of travel – so the net brake is on the left. If you skip that orientation, you’ll flip parts left-to-right. Seen it happen. This manual doesn’t care about your guesswork.

Decal Locations and Serial Number Placement (Pages 2–3)

Pages 2-3 show exactly where every decal lives. You need the model and serial number when ordering parts. The decal is on the right panel behind the shield. If it’s worn off, you’ll have to measure pins or call GEHL with frame dimensions. Don’t lose that decal – the manual tells you where it is so you can protect it.

Common Parts Breakdown (Pages 4–11)

Pages 4 through 11 cover common parts across all three models. Exploded view drawings with reference numbers, descriptions, and quantity. Each reference number may have a tear-drop symbol for wet applications (oil, grease) and a hexagon symbol with a torque value in foot pounds. For example, a hexagon with “50” means 50 ft-lbs on that fastener. Grade 5 cap screws are standard unless noted. The abbreviation table on page 2 clears up what CS, FCS, FLN, and so on mean. If you see “FCS,” that’s a flanged cap screw – don’t substitute a regular cap screw without a washer unless you want it to back off.

Unique Parts (Pages 12–17) – Why You Can’t Swap Across Models

Pages 12-17 list unique parts for the 2500, 2600, and 2800. The 2800 has a larger drive system and different baler interface. If you try to use a 2500 tension arm on a 2800, it won’t line up. The manual gives you the exact part number differences. I’ve seen guys order “common” parts and end up with a mismatch that cost them a full day of downtime. Use these pages to verify before you call the dealer.

Need to identify a fastener? Refer to the abbreviations table: CS is cap screw (hex head), FCS is flanged cap screw, LN is lock nut, LW is lock washer. If you see a carriage bolt (CB), it requires a square hole – don’t hammer it into a round hole. This manual doesn’t assume you know, it spells it out.

Wiring Harness and Update Kits (Pages 18–21)

Wiring starts on page 18. The wiring harness diagram for the Quick Wrap attachment shows connector locations, wire colors, and routing. Pages 19-21 cover the baler update kit and update kit wiring harnesses. If your machine has an older harness and you’re adding the update kit, these three pages are critical. One wrong pinout and you’ll fry the controller – ask me how I know. The manual shows the exact connections. For diesel engine basics, see this Wikipedia article on diesel engines. For more detail on the engine’s injection system, refer to this Wikipedia article on diesel engines – but the wiring in your Quick Wrap is separate from the engine harness.

Torque Specifications: Inside Back Cover

The inside back cover has the standard hardware torque specifications for all common fasteners. Everything in Grade 5, zinc plated. Hexagon nuts for Grade 5 cap screws are Grade B. Torque values are in foot pounds. If a particular bolt in an exploded view has a hexagon symbol next to its reference number, that torque value overrides the standard chart. Do not guess. A torque wrench is not optional. I’ve seen stripped threads and snapped bolts from people “feeling” it. The manual gives you the number – use it.

Who Needs This 28-Page Manual?

This is for owners of GEHL 2500, 2600, or 2800 Quick Wrap attachments, or mechanics who service them. It’s not a service manual – it’s a parts catalog. You won’t find adjustment procedures or troubleshooting here. But if you need to order a replacement roller, a belt, a nut, or a wiring pigtail, this is the document. 28 pages, OEM source, no reprints, no generic aftermarket part numbers. Pair it with the GEHL 2500 Parts Catalog – OEM Parts Breakdown if you work on multiple units, or the GEHL 2600 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Manual (44 pages) for the 2600-specific service info. The GEHL 2800 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Part Numbers & Diagrams is identical in structure but focused on the 2800 variants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this manual include wiring diagrams for the entire machine?

Only the Quick Wrap attachment wiring – pages 18, 20-21 cover harnesses and update kits. Main machine wiring is not in this catalog.

What torque values are listed in this manual?

Standard hardware torque specs are on the inside back cover. Additionally, any fastener in the exploded views that has a hexagon symbol shows a torque value in foot pounds specific to that joint. For example, a hexagon with “85” means 85 ft-lbs. Always use the spec if shown.

How do I find my model and serial number?

On the decal located on the right panel behind the shield. Orientation: stand at rear of unit, facing travel direction. Right side is where decal lives.

Can I use this manual for a GEHL 2500 that has a different attachment?

No. This catalog covers only the Quick Wrap attachment for models 2500, 2600, and 2800. The manual is specific to that configuration. For other attachments, you need a separate parts catalog from GEHL.

If you’re tired of chasing wrong part numbers and guessing torque values from online forums, get the real deal. Access the Factory Manual – the original GEHL Parts Catalog for the 2500, 2600, and 2800. Put it on your tablet or print it for the shop. Your wrenching will be faster, safer, and you won’t waste money on parts that don’t fit. That’s the whole point.
