GEHL 610 Parts Catalog – Factory Specs for the Forage Box

If you’re tearing down a GEHL 610 forage box and ordering parts, you’re wasting time with anything except the factory parts catalog. I’ve been turning wrenches for 28 years, and I’ve seen aftermarket catalogs mislabel a hex nut as a lock nut. That’s not a typo – that’s a safety violation waiting to happen. GEHL 610 Parts Catalog is the 16-page booklet that GEHL printed for dealers and shops, and it’s the only document that lists every part with the correct fastener grade. The decal locations alone are worth the access – skip those and you’ll miss warning decals that keep fingers out of the auger.

GEHL 610 Parts Catalog: What the 16 Pages Cover

The manual opens with a dealer introduction on page 2 – that’s where they explain left vs right from the rear of the machine. Left side is the conveyor discharge side. Get that wrong and you order a mirror-image beater. The numerical index on page 14 is where you’ll spend most of your time – every part number listed numerically, giving you the page reference. Between those pages you get: Feeder and Universal Drive (4-5), Auger and Drive (6-7), Beater (8), Third Beater (9), Metal Roof (10), Conveyor Extension (11), Accessories (12), Box Panels (13). Each section includes part numbers, descriptions, and fastener callouts. The abbreviation list on page 2 decodes HN (hex nut), LW (lock washer), and S-L (self-locking). That matters when you’re ordering a bolt that holds the beater shaft.

Decal Locations and Safety Markings

Decal locations on page 3 show exactly where each warning decal goes. These aren’t decorative – they warn about rotating components and pinch points. The manual says surfaces must be clean before applying decals. Use that instruction. If you’re refinishing the box, you need the decal part numbers from this catalog. Order the wrong decal and it peels off in six months. The orientation rule from page 2 applies: right and left are determined from the rear looking forward. Mark that on the box before you stick anything.

Feeder and Universal Drive: Hardware Callouts

Feeder and universal drive hardware is on pages 4-5. The wood hardware section is interesting – the GEHL 610 uses wooden slats in the box. This parts catalog lists the exact bolt pattern and fastener type for each wooden member. If you replace a slat with a generic bolt, the wood can split or the fastener loosens from vibration. This manual calls out lock washers and self-locking nuts where needed. The universal drive section includes chain and sprocket part numbers. Don’t guess at chain pitch – the catalog gives you the OEM number.

What the Auger and Drive Section Tells You

Auger and drive assembly on pages 6-7 gives you every part number for the auger flighting, bearings, and drive shaft. If the flighting is worn, you need the complete auger or section part number – not a generic replacement. The catalog also includes sprocket teeth counts and chain lengths. Cross-reference with the numerical index on page 14 if you have a part number from a worn component. This is where the manual saves you from ordering wrong bearings that don’t fit the flange bolt pattern.

Beater and Third Beater – Two Pages That Matter

Beater assembly on page 8, third beater on page 9. These rotating drums feed material into the auger. The part numbers for beater teeth and bearings are listed. Don’t assume you can use a standard bearing – the GEHL 610 uses a specific flange bearing with a particular bolt pattern. The manual lists the bearing part number. Use it. The third beater is often overlooked – if your forage box has two beaters, this catalog covers both. Two pages. Get them right.

Numerical Index: Finding Parts Without Guessing

Numerical index on page 14 is your friend. Look up any part number and find the page where it appears. No flipping through every section. If you’re rebuilding a machine that’s been in a field for years and parts are missing, pull the numbers off what’s left and cross-reference here. The index covers all 16 pages, so you can find decal part numbers, hardware, and major assemblies. Use it.

Other GEHL manuals cover skid steers and compact rollers. For the GEHL SL4640, SL4840, SL5640, SL6640 2005 Parts Catalog, see that listing. For larger loaders, GEHL SL7610, SL7710, SL7810 2005 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs covers those. And for the compact roller, check GEHL RS6-34 2013 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Manual.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this manual include assembly instructions?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual.

Can I use this to order replacement decals?

Yes. Page 3 lists all decal part numbers and locations. The manual instructs that surfaces must be clean and backing paper removed in two steps. You get the exact decal number. Without this, you’ll order a generic ‘caution’ decal that might not be the right size or wording. GEHL specifies safety decals for pinch points and rotating drivelines. If a decal is missing, you’re liable for anyone who gets caught in the machine. This catalog gives you the correct part. Also, the introduction on page 2 explains orientation for left and right relative to the machine direction. Get that wrong and you stick a decal on the wrong side. The numerical index on page 14 can help you find the decal part number if you only have a reference number. So yes, it’s essential.
