GEHL RT175 2013 Parts Catalog

If you’ve ever ordered the wrong seal kit because the aftermarket diagram swapped a port location, you know the feeling. Wasted time, wrong part, machine down. A GEHL RT175 2013 Parts Catalog from the factory stops that. This is the same 146-page book the dealer’s parts counter uses — not a scan of a scan, not a reprint with missing pages. OEM origin, 146 pages, with the torque tables you actually need when rebuilding or replacing components.

What’s Inside the 146 Pages

This isn’t a service manual — it’s a parts catalog. You get exploded views of every assembly, part numbers with supersession info, and the exact page to look up related components. The Table of Contents lists Filters, Decals/Paint, Numerical Index, Subject Index, and a Reference section that holds the O-Ring Tables, Adapter Torque Guide, Metric Bolt Torque Guide, and SAE Bolt Torque Guide. If you are ordering a hydraulic fitting or a bolt kit for the RT175’s Yanmar 4TNV98C engine, those torque values are in the back. No hunting through three different manuals.

Torque Specs: Why the Reference Section Matters

Every time I see a tech guess bolt torque on a compact track loader undercarriage, I cringe. 100 ft-lbs on a 3/8-16 Grade 8 bolt when it should be 45? You’ll snap it or leave it loose. The torque guides in this catalog are factory-sourced — not rewritten from memory. The Metric Bolt Torque Guide and SAE Bolt Torque Guide cover fasteners from M6 to M24 and 1/4″ to 1″. Use them. The Adapter Torque Guide covers O-ring boss and JIC fittings, and the O-Ring Tables give you dash sizes so you order the right seal kit the first time.

Who Needs This Catalog — and Why

If you own a GEHL RT175 with a serial number 811001 and up, this is the parts bible for that machine. It covers the Tier IV Yanmar engine, the 2-speed drive option, and all standard/optional features. The catalog tells you which parts are serial-number-specific — (SN 999 and before), (SN 1000-2000), (SN 999 and up). When ordering a tilt cylinder rebuild kit, the manual directs you to page 247. For the warning decal, page 126. That kind of cross-referencing keeps a home garage mechanic from ordering three wrong parts before getting the right one. For shop owners, it means fewer phone calls to the parts department and less machine downtime.

3 Sections That Save You Money

First, the Filters section — oil, fuel, hydraulic, air. You get the GEHL part number, not the generic aftermarket cross that might be 2 inches too short. Second, the Decals/Paint section lets you order the correct safety decal or touch-up paint code for your machine year. Third, the Numerical Index lists every part number in alphabetical and numerical order, so you can look up a bolt by its part number alone. That alone cuts lookup time in half.

Source Authenticity: Factory vs. Aftermarket Reproductions

This is the original GEHL Form No. 50960068, Revision A, October 2013 — printed in the U.S.A. The aftermarket catalogs you find online often skip the torque reference tables or blur the decal diagrams. This PDF is a direct file of the OEM book. Every page matches what the dealer uses. If you have the RT175 and want to avoid ordering mismatched hardware, this is the one to use. For related parts support, check the GEHL RT175 2014 Parts Catalog for minor updates, or the GEHL RT175, RT210 2013 Operators Manual – Factory Specs for operational info and hydraulic schematics. There is also a GEHL RT175, RT210, RT250 2013 Operators Manual – Factory Specs if you need the operator-level maintenance procedures.

FAQs: Common Questions About the GEHL RT175 Parts Catalog

Does this catalog include torque specs for the engine head bolts?

No. The head bolt torque values are in the engine service manual (Yanmar 4TNV98C). This catalog has the fastener torque guides for chassis and hydraulic components.

Can I use this to rebuild the hydrostatic drive pump?

You can order the correct seals and O-rings using the O-Ring Tables and Adapter Torque Guide. For the actual rebuild procedure, you need the service manual. This catalog gives you the parts breakdown and part numbers.

How do I know if my RT175 is covered by this revision?

This manual is for machine serial number 811001 and up. If your serial number is below that, you may need the earlier revision. The publication date is October 2013.

Why should I trust this over a free online parts diagram?

Free diagrams often miss serial number breaks, superseded part numbers, and the torque reference pages. This factory catalog includes the Metric and SAE Bolt Torque Guides, the Adapter Torque Guide, and O-Ring Tables. Those pages are missing in most aftermarket copies. You also get the official part number cross-references. For more background on the Yanmar diesel engine used in the RT175, see this Wikipedia article on diesel engines for general four-stroke cycle info, or this Wikipedia article on diesel engines for specifics on common rail injection used in Tier IV engines.

A parts catalog is only as good as the torque data and the part numbers it carries. This one has both, straight from the OEM. If you are ordering parts for the GEHL RT175, stop guessing and access the factory manual.
