GEHL 802 Parts Catalog – Factory Parts Breakdown for Your Compact Excavator

You’ve got an GEHL 802 sitting in the bay with a busted undercarriage or a leaking hydraulic fitting, and you’re flipping through some third-party parts list that doesn’t match what’s actually on the machine. I’ve been there. Aftermarket catalogs leave out critical details – like fastener grades, torque values, or which revision cap screw goes where. That’s why you want the GEHL 802 Parts Catalog, not a generic copy. This is the OEM factory document, 168 pages of exploded diagrams, part numbers, and actual specs that match the serial number tag on your unit. No guesswork, no returns for wrong parts.

What Serial Number Range Does This Cover?

The catalog covers GEHL 802 compact excavators with beginning serial number AB00473 up through later production (serial number #918043 B). On page 2 of the manual, GEHL clearly states that the model and serial number are on a tag located on the front panel of the cabin, and that “right” and “left” are determined from the operator’s seat facing forward. If your machine falls within that range, this Parts Catalog is the exact document the dealer uses to order parts. Outside that range? You’ll need a different revision. The book also includes serial number break notations – for example, “(SN → XXXXX)” means up to and including that number, “(SN YYYYY →)” means from that number onward. That precision keeps you from ordering an axle that doesn’t fit.

Torque Specs: Where to Find Them

Standard attaching hardware torque values are listed on the inside back cover of the manual. Page 2 mentions this specifically, and also gives the conversion factor: metric torque values shown in illustrations are in Newton‑meters – multiply by 0.738 to get foot‑pounds. The manual also specifies that unless otherwise noted, all cap screws or bolts are Grade 5 (cadmium or zinc plated), with Grade B hex nuts for those bolts. If you’re rebuilding the GEHL 802 track tensioner or dozer blade assembly, you need those torque numbers to avoid stripping threads or snapping fasteners. I’ve seen guys guess at 55 ft‑lbs on a Grade 5 bolt that calls for 48. That’s how you crack a bracket. Don’t guess – use the factory torque data from this Parts Catalog.

168 Pages of Factory Parts Diagrams

This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. That means every section is built around exploded-view illustrations with callouts referencing genuine GEHL part numbers. The table of contents (page 3) lists 19 major sections, including Decal Locations (pages 4‑9), Undercarriage with Rubber Track (page 10), Steel Track Option (page 11), Steel Track Disassembly (page 12), Roller (Rubber Track) (page 13), Roller (page 14), Top Roller (page 15), Spring Sets (pages 16‑17), Tension Wheels (pages 18‑19), and Dozer Blade (page 20). Each illustration shows the correct sequence of parts – washers, lock nuts, seals, pins – so you can order exactly what you need. No buying a whole assembly when it’s just a cotter pin and a bushing. The parts list below each drawing includes the reference number, description, quantity, and part number with serial number breaks where applicable.

3 Reasons to Trust OEM GEHL Documentation

1. Genuine part numbers. GEHL Company reserves the right to make design changes, and this catalog incorporates those revisions (Form No. 918043 Revision B). Aftermarket parts lists often carry superseded numbers that lead to wrong shipments. 2. Fastener specifications. The catalog lists abbreviations like CS (cap screw), HN (hex nut), LW (lock washer), and even HP (high pressure) for fittings. You get the exact fastener grade and plating. 3. Metric‑to‑imperial conversion. The torque table on the inside back cover gives standard values in ft‑lbs, while the illustrated views show N‑m – both are provided so you don’t mix units. When you’re ordering parts for the hydraulic valve compartment (right side of the machine), you need those HP fitting specs. This catalog has them.

Does This Parts Catalog Cover the Fuel System?

The catalog is focused on structural and drivetrain components – undercarriage, tracks, rollers, tension systems, dozer blade, decals, and the hydraulic fitting data section. It does not break down the engine internal parts (pistons, rings, valves) or the full hydraulic pump. If you need those, you’ll want the GEHL 802 Service Manual for overhaul procedures. But for ordering a new rubber track, a roller assembly, a spring set, or a tension wheel, this is the correct document. The hydraulic fitting data section includes torque specifications for fittings, which is critical when replacing lines on your compact excavator – mismatch a fitting and you’ll be bleeding air all afternoon.

Audience Fit: Who Should Buy This Manual

If you own or maintain a GEHL 802 compact excavator, this Parts Catalog belongs on your workbench. DIY mechanics who rebuild undercarriages themselves will save the dealer markup on parts and avoid ordering the wrong roller. Home‑garage enthusiasts who wrench on their own equipment will appreciate having the exact part numbers for the steel track option or the rubber‑track roller. Professional shop owners should keep a copy at the parts counter – techs waste too many billable hours hunting down superseded numbers. Beginners: this is not a repair guide, but if you’re replacing a damaged track, the exploded view on page 10 shows you the order of assembly. Pair it with the service manual and you’ve got a complete setup.

Source Authenticity: Why This Isn’t an Aftermarket Reprint

This file is a direct scan of the original GEHL printed manual – Form No. 918043 Revision B, printed in the U.S.A. The OCR excerpt on page 1 shows the GEHL logo, the serial number range, and the statement “Use only genuine GEHL service parts.” Aftermarket parts catalogs often reprint these diagrams with fuzzy resolution and stripped‑out torque tables. They might even crop the page that shows the serial number breaks, leaving you with a generic illustration that doesn’t match your machine. Here, the serial number AB00473 start is clearly stated, and every fastener abbreviation (SHCS, FHCS, CB, etc.) is defined on page 2. If you’ve ever tried to match a socket‑head cap screw from an aftermarket list only to find it’s the wrong thread pitch, you know the value of factory documentation.

Is this a repair manual with step-by-step overhaul instructions?

No. This is a parts catalog – it shows exploded views and part numbers, not disassembly procedures. For that, get the GEHL 802 Service Manual.

How do I find the torque specs in this catalog?

Standard hardware torque values are on the inside back cover. Metric torque values in the illustrations can be converted to foot-pounds by multiplying N·m by 0.738. Page 2 explains this.

Will this work for a machine built after the serial number cutoff?

The catalog covers from AB00473 up to serial #918043 B. If your machine has a later serial number, you need a newer revision. Check the serial number tag on the front of the cabin.

Can I use this to identify hydraulic fitting types and torque?

Yes – the “Hydraulic Fitting Data” section lists fitting specifications and torque values. That section is included in the 168 pages. It does not cover the full hydraulic pump internals, but it covers the fittings.

You’ve got a compact excavator that needs parts ordered right the first time. The GEHL 802 Parts Catalog gives you the factory diagrams, genuine part numbers, and torque data that aftermarket lists always miss. Stop ordering wrong rollers and return shipping fees.
