GEHL R260 2014 Parts Catalog

If you are tearing into a GEHL R260 2014 Parts Catalog and need a specific bolt or hydraulic fitting, you do not have time to cross-reference aftermarket part lists that were copied from a copy. You need the original factory breakdowns. This is the real document – 264 pages, Form No. 50950172, Revision A, dated 03/14. It covers the GEHL R260, R260 (EU), and R260 X-Series skid-steer loaders. I have been turning wrenches for 28 years, and I can tell you: the difference between a job that goes smooth and one that turns into a parts-chasing nightmare is having the right exploded view in front of you. This book gives you that.

Main Loader Components: What Section A Covers

Section A breaks down the entire loader chassis and structure. You get separate pages for SN 175579 and Up versus SN 175578 and Before. That matters because GEHL made changes to the sound suppression, the ROPS/FOPS structure, and the restraint bar. The manual splits HVAC Models – DPF Models, Non-DPF Models, Heater-Only Models – each with their own parts pages. If you are chasing a broken grille or engine cover, the DPF and Non-DPF versions have different part numbers. The same applies to the air cleaner and exhaust system. Do not guess. Look up your serial number range and pick the right page.

Hydraulic and HVAC Systems – Section B Breakdown

Section B covers hydraulic components and the HVAC/heater housings. This is where you find the lift-arm hydraulics, chassis hydraulics, and the brake release assembly. The manual separates standard auxiliary hydraulics from high-flow auxiliary hydraulics, and it lists parts for T-Bar, Dual Hand, Dual Joystick, and Hand/Foot controls. If your machine has self-leveling, that is handled in its own subsection. The HVAC section includes heater-only and full HVAC housing parts for both DPF and Non-DPF models. Without this catalog, you would be digging through generic diagrams that show a generic heater core. Here you get the exact GEHL part number.

Does This Manual Cover the DPF and Non-DPF Models?

Yes. The catalog explicitly separates DPF and Non-DPF variants in every major section: chassis, engine, electrical, air cleaner/exhaust, and sound suppression. Even the sound suppression has a “Standard Group Side Screen Baffles” page and a “Deluxe (Optional) DPF Models” page. If you inherit a machine that has been pieced together with parts from both variants, this catalog will show you which components are compatible and which are not. Standard attaching hardware torque values are listed on the inside back cover – I have used those numbers more times than I can count. Non-standard torque specs appear right after the part number description in parentheses. Page 1 of the manual includes the full abbreviations list so you can decode every entry.

3 Reasons to Stick with OEM Parts Documentation

First, aftermarket catalogs frequently renumber parts or omit the serial-number breakpoints. I have seen a generic “fits R260” listing that actually matched the R220. Second, genuine GEHL parts include gaskets, o-rings, and fasteners that aftermarket kits often skip. Third, the wiring schematics in Section D are factory-original. If you are tracing a short in the electrical chassis or the 14-pin auxiliary connector, you need the exact harness layout – not a redrawn version that might have swapped a few wires. The parts catalog gives you the part numbers for connectors, relays, and even the battery specification (which you must purchase locally, as the manual notes).

Get the Right Part Numbers – Understanding the Notes

Look at the bottom of any parts page. You will see notes like “Parts Listing Continued On Next Page” and “SECTION NOTES.” Those notes tell you if an item is shown for reference only (no part number) or if it requires a specific quantity. The manual uses abbreviations like DH (Dual Hand), HF (High-Flow), and DJS (Dual Joystick). Page 2 of the introduction warns that replacement batteries are not supplied by GEHL – you buy those locally. That kind of detail keeps you from ordering a battery that won’t fit the tray. When you are ordering, you provide the model number and serial number from the decal on the left chassis upright. Right and left are from the operator’s seat facing forward. That is standard, but I have seen guys flip them and order the wrong side.

For more parts breakdowns, GEHL SL4640, SL4840, SL5640, SL6640 2005 Parts Catalog covers a different family, and GEHL SL7610, SL7710, SL7810 2005 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs is another option.

FAQ – Common Questions About the GEHL R260 Parts Catalog

Is this manual for the R260 X-Series too?

Yes, it covers the R260, R260 (EU), and R260 X-Series.

Can I use torque values from this catalog for reassembly?

The catalog lists standard attaching hardware torque values on the inside back cover and nonstandard torque specs after part number descriptions. For engine internal torque specs, you need the service manual. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. But the torque info given is factory correct for mounting bolts.

Are wiring schematics included?

Section D: SCHEMATICS contains electrical diagrams for the chassis, engine, ROPS/FOPS, and lights.

What is the difference between Standard and Deluxe sound suppression?

The parts catalog lists different part numbers for Standard Sound Suppression and Deluxe Sound Suppression, with separate exploded views. Standard uses basic insulation panels; Deluxe includes additional side screen baffles and more extensive padding. You need to identify which option your machine has by checking the existing parts or referencing your machine’s build sheet. The manual pages for these sections are clearly labeled. For example, on the page for ‘Standard Group Side Screen Baffles’ you’ll see the standard parts breakdown. Without this catalog, you would be guessing which foam piece goes where.

You have the serial number, you have the machine, now you need the factory parts breakdown. Stop relying on aftermarket cross-references that were never tested on a real R260. Get the OEM information that GEHL designed for their own service departments. Access the Factory Manual and keep it on your tablet or print the pages you need. Every part number, every serial number break, every torque spec – it is all in there. This is what I use in my own shop, and I do not let anyone touch a GEHL without it.
