GEHL 2512 Parts Catalog

If you’re wrenching on a GEHL 2512 Parts Catalog manual for a reason, it’s probably because you’ve already had a part arrive with the wrong bolt pattern or a seal that doesn’t fit. That frustration wastes time and money. This is the factory parts breakdown for the GEHL 2512 Impeller Disc Mower Conditioner – 64 pages of exploded views, reference numbers, and hardware callouts that came straight from GEHL’s engineering department. No aftermarket re-draw, no guesswork. Every fastener description and torque value (inside back cover) is what the assembly line used.

Why a GEHL 2512 Parts Catalog Belongs on Your Bench

When you’re rebuilding the cutterbar or swapping a gearbox, guessing the bolt grade or the correct part number for that bearing can cost you a second teardown. This catalog lists every serviceable component with the exact reference number and description. The exploded views show how the rear tongue assembly (pages 12-13) fits to the cutterbar, and the hydraulic section (pages 34-35) identifies each hose and fitting. You don’t get operation procedures here – that’s what the GEHL 2512 Operators Manual – Factory Specs for Mower Conditioner is for. For parts identification, this is the only source that matches what GEHL built. Ordering parts requires the model and serial number from the plate on the left side of the main frame near the drawbar anchor point – that info is in the introduction.

What’s Inside the 64 Pages?

Page 2 has the abbreviations table so you know the difference between a FCS and a FHCS. The decal locations (pages 2-11) show where every safety warning goes. Then it breaks down the tongue assemblies (2-point hitch and drawbar), cutterbar, discs and skid shoes (pages 20-21), gearbox mounting, impeller drive, trailer assembly, forming chamber, shields, curtains, hubs and wheels. The electrical section (pages 36-37) covers wiring for the hitchjack and any optional lights. After that, component breakdowns (pages 40-50) detail the universal drives and gearboxes. Each exploded view uses reference numbers with optional tear-drop symbols to indicate lubricant application, and hexagon symbols for required torque in foot-pounds. Without that data, you’re guessing whether the bolt needs threadlocker or oil. The alphabetical index (page 54) and numerical index (pages 55-59) let you cross-reference a part number to the exact page and reference number.

Torque Specs and Hydraulic Data: Factory Standards

Standard attaching hardware torque values are printed on the inside back cover. That’s where you look when you’re installing a cap screw and need to know if it’s 30 ft-lb or 50 ft-lb for a Grade 5 bolt. The hydraulic fitting data on page 60 lists each fitting’s thread and seat type – critical when you’re replacing a hose on the impeller drive. Don’t trust generic charts; this data was verified by GEHL’s engineering for the 2512. For related skid steer manuals, check the GEHL SL4640, SL4840, SL5640, SL6640 2005 Parts Catalog and GEHL SL7610, SL7710, SL7810 2005 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs.

3 Reasons to Use OEM Parts Documentation

First, the reference numbers in the exploded views correspond exactly to the parts list. If a tear-drop symbol appears next to a bolt, that bolt gets a wet sealant – the manual tells you which fluid. Second, the numerical index saves you from flipping through every page. Third, the hardware specs (Grade 5 cap screws, Grade B nuts) eliminate guesswork. The inside back cover also gives torque values for those fasteners. this Wikipedia article on diesel engines covers the prime mover, but for the implement’s parts, this catalog is your only reference.

Understand the Electrical Section Before You Probe

The electrical pages (36-37) show connector locations and wire colors for the optional accessories. If you’re diagnosing a non-functional hitchjack or a broken light circuit, start here. Without the factory diagram, you’re probing blind. The service kits for electrical connectors on page 53 list the exact crimp terminals you need. For understanding the diesel engine that powers the tractor, this Wikipedia article on diesel engines provides a solid overview.

FAQ

Does this manual include torque specs for all bolts?

Yes. The standard hardware torque table is on the inside back cover. That covers Grade 5 and other fasteners listed in the parts breakdowns.

Can I use this to replace the impeller blades?

Absolutely – the impeller drive section (pages 24-27) breaks down every blade, hub, and fastener. The exploded view shows the order of assembly, and the parts list gives the correct GEHL part number. If you’re also doing operational adjustments, pair it with the operators manual referenced above. Without the parts catalog, you risk ordering a blade with the wrong bolt circle – and that means a trip back to the dealer.

When you’re ready to order parts and get that 2512 back in the field, access the factory manual from AutoRepairManuals. The PDF is the same as what GEHL prints – no re-scanned garbage, no third-party modifications.
