GEHL CB760 Parts Catalog

If you’re hunting down a part number for a GEHL CB760 Parts Catalog forage harvester and you’ve been burned by aftermarket listings that don’t match the actual hardware, you’re not alone. A wrong bearing or a missing bolt means the machine sits. I’ve seen it cost a full day of harvest. This 60-page parts catalog is the OEM document from GEHL – the same one the dealer pulls up when you call. It gives you factory part numbers, exploded views, and attaching hardware torque values. No guesswork.

Parts Breakdown for the Blower & Drive (Pages 8-9)

The blower housing, impeller, and drive belt assembly are laid out in clear exploded diagrams. Each part has a callout number and the exact GEHL part number. You can identify the blower shaft bearing (bearing number included) and the correct drive belt length. The parts list below the illustration shows quantity and description. If you’re replacing the blower drive, you need this section. The torque specs for the mounting bolts are on the inside back cover – standard attaching hardware table covers Grade 5 cap screws.

What Torque Values Are Listed?

The inside back cover has a table of standard attaching hardware torque values for Grade 5 bolts and Grade B nuts. That covers most of the fasteners on this machine. If a special torque is required, it’s noted in the parts list. For example, the bevel gearbox mounting bolts have a specific torque callout. You won’t find generic “tighten securely” here – this is factory data. Pair this catalog with a service manual for assembly steps, but the part numbers and torque specs are on the money.

Decal Locations and Their Importance (Page 2-3)

Decals aren’t just stickers. They warn you about PTO entanglement, hydraulic pressure, and blade contact. Pages 2-3 show every decal on the CB760 with its part number and location. If a decal is missing or faded, order the correct replacement using the number in this catalog. OSHA and common sense say keep those decals legible. The manual even lists the decal dimensions so you know you’re getting the right size.

3 Sections That Save You Money: Options & Accessories

Pages 31-39 cover options like the tandem axle set, electric control box, and hydraulic deflector controls. Pages 40-47 list accessories: wiring kits, deflector extensions, and the torque wrench adapter. If you’re adding a second tractor wiring kit (page 40), you need the correct harness part number. The parts catalog shows exactly which bracket and connector go with which option. No buying extra hardware that doesn’t fit.

Electric Control Box: Options Chapter (Page 33)

The electric control box includes the shift motor, solenoid valves, and wiring harness. This parts catalog breaks down the control box assembly into individual components. If a solenoid fails, you can order the exact coil and plunger rather than the whole box. The exploded view shows the wiring route – important when tracing a short.

Need the part number for the shifter transmission? Page 20. The bevel gearbox breakdown? Pages 18-19. This catalog covers every major system: main frame, drawbar, implement drive line, feed rolls, knife sharpener hydraulics, and universal drives including 540 RPM and 1000 RPM drives. Even the tubular drive and cylinder drive are illustrated on page 30.

All factory documents.

For background on how PTO-driven implements like this forage harvester couple to a tractor’s diesel engine, read this Wikipedia article on diesel engines and this Wikipedia article on diesel engines. The CB760 is designed to run off a 540 or 1000 RPM PTO shaft from a tractor with a diesel engine – understanding the power take-off limits helps avoid over-speeding the cutterhead.

Source Validity: OEM vs Aftermarket

Aftermarket parts catalogs often re-use old drawings and update part numbers incorrectly. This is the original GEHL Service Parts Manual, form number 903659. The abbreviations list on page 2 defines every fastener code (SHCS, SSHS, SQHSS, etc.). The note about “Grease fittings and common attaching hardware are included in the parts lists but not illustrated” saves you calling for a cotter pin that isn’t shown. The manual also states that Grade 5 cap screws are standard unless specified – that’s a spec you can trust. No aftermarket interpretation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this parts catalog include service procedures like adjusting the knife sharpener?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service or repair manual. It gives exploded diagrams and part numbers. For adjustment procedures, you need the operator’s manual or a service manual. However, the hydraulic knife sharpener section (page 23) shows the pump, motor, and cylinder parts – if you’re rebuilding it, the part numbers are correct.

Can I use this to order bolts and fasteners?

Yes. The attaching hardware table on the inside back cover gives torque values for Grade 5 cap screws. The parts lists indent the hardware under the parent part. For example, a hex nut and lock washer are listed below the blower pulley. Use those part numbers to order exact replacements.

What if the decal on my CB760 is missing – can I find the correct replacement here?

Page 2-3 shows every decal with its part number and location. Order the decal by that number.

How do I determine left and right when looking at the parts illustrations?

The manual states: “Right and Left are determined from a position standing behind the unit and facing the direction of travel.” The bevel gearbox and tubular drive are on the left side. This orientation is consistent throughout the catalog. Keep that in mind when ordering a left-hand knife sharpener support (page 26-27).

Stop burning time on mismatched parts and incorrect torque specs. This OEM catalog is the same data GEHL dealers use. Access the Factory Manual and keep your CB760 in the field, not the shop.
