GEHL CB 700 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Documentation

If you’re ordering parts for a GEHL CB 700 forage harvester and don’t have the factory parts catalog, you’re working blind. Aftermarket part numbers get crossed, superseded, or flat-out wrong. This GEHL CB 700 Parts Catalog is the one the dealer uses – 36 pages of OEM part numbers, exploded diagrams, and a numerical index that takes you straight to the right bolt, bearing, or blade. I’ve seen more than one shop lose a full day because someone ordered a cylinder knife set off a generic listing. Don’t be that guy.

Cylinder and Transmission Coverage

The Cylinder section on pages 14-15 shows every component of the cutterhead assembly – knives, shear bar, bearings, and shaft. Part numbers are listed with descriptions and quantities. The Transmission section covers the same pages for the base unit, then breaks out into three dedicated sub-sections: 540RPM Transmission (page 16), 1000RPM Transmission (page 17), and S.A.C. Transmission (page 18). Each transmission variant uses different gears, shafts, and seals. This catalog gives you the exact part number for your machine’s serial number range. No hunting through cross-reference lists.

What Does the Electrical Section Cover?

Page 20 lists the Electrical Cap Control components – switches, wiring harness, and the capacitor assembly for the spout rotation system. Page 21 adds the Electric Shift parts, including the solenoid and linkage for the transmission range shift. If you’re chasing an electrical issue, the parts catalog won’t give you a wiring diagram, but it will tell you exactly which OEM switch or connector to order. Don’t waste time trying to match colors on a used harness. Start with the right part number from the factory book.

36 Pages of Factory Part Numbers

Every page in this manual was printed by GEHL for their dealer network. The Frame and Axle breakdown on pages 3-4 shows the mainframe, hitch, and axle components with all mounting hardware. PTO 2nd Drive (pages 5-7) covers the driveline from the tractor PTO to the gearbox. Roller and Roller Drive (pages 8-9) details the feedroll assembly and chain. Deflector Control (pages 10-11) includes the mechanical linkage and hydraulic cylinder parts. Blower Fan and Outlet (pages 12-13) lists the fan blades, housing, and spout components. The Accessories section (pages 19-26) covers everything from the Hydraulic Deflector Control to the Power Extension Cord Kit. Each part has a unique OEM number. Use the Numerical Index on pages 32-34 to find any part number alphabetically and cross-reference it to the page and figure number.

Order the Right Parts the First Time

A parts catalog is only as good as its accuracy. This one comes straight from the GEHL factory – no reprints, no third-party scans. The exploded-view drawings show exactly how each nut, bolt, and bracket fits. When you order a Cylinder Knife Set (page 25) or a Drive Sprocket (page 25), you get the OEM specification, including thread pitch and grade for every fastener. The Important Hardware Notice on page 2 states: “All Bolts called out in Parts List are Grade 5 cadmium plated unless otherwise specified.” That kind of detail keeps a job from going sideways when the replacement bolt you grabbed from the bin strips out at 45 ft-lbs.

Need a reference for how diesel engines work in general? This Wikipedia article on diesel engines covers fundamentals, but it won’t give you the part numbers for a GEHL CB 700 transmission input shaft. That’s what this catalog does. For related GEHL equipment, check out the GEHL SL4640, SL4840, SL5640, SL6640 2005 Parts Catalog, the GEHL SL7610, SL7710, SL7810 2005 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs, and the GEHL RS6-34 2013 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Manual.

Does this parts catalog include torque values or repair procedures?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists OEM part numbers, quantities, and exploded views. Torque specs and step-by-step repair instructions are not included.

How do I find the correct part number for my CB 700?

Start by locating the machine’s serial number plate on the right side of the main frame adjacent to the cylinder shaft bearing. Then use the Numerical Index (pages 32-34) to cross-reference the part name or number to the illustrated page. Each section groups parts by assembly – Frame and Axle, PTO Drive, Cylinder, Transmission, etc. – so you can visually identify the component and verify the description matches. If you’re unsure, write down the serial number and call a GEHL dealer with the part number from this catalog. They can confirm fitment before you order.

Don’t waste another hour chasing parts with a generic online search. Get the exact OEM numbers that the factory built the machine with. Access the Factory Manual now and keep your CB 700 running on the right parts.
