GEHL RT175 2014 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs

Nothing burns my time like ordering parts blind. You pull a bolt, it snaps, you guess the thread pitch, and then you wait a week for the wrong part. That stops when you have the GEHL RT175 2014 Parts Catalog open on the bench. This is the same 176-page PDF the dealership counter guys use — factory printed, revision F, April 2014. It covers serial numbers 10401 through 811000, including Tier III and Interim Tier IV engine variants. Every part number, every decal location, every O-ring size is listed. Not a guess in the whole document.

Torque Specs and Fluid Capacities

You see that Reference section in the table of contents? That is where the real value hides. The Adapter Torque Guide, Metric Bolt Torque Guide, and SAE Bolt Torque Guide are all in there. If you are rebuilding a hydraulic fitting on the RT175 and you don’t have the correct torque for a 9/16-18 ORB fitting, you risk leaks or pulled threads. The manual gives you the numbers. No generic charts — these are the specs GEHL validated for the RT175’s specific materials. I still keep a printed copy of the SAE Bolt Torque Guide taped to my toolbox. That is how often I reach for it.

176 Pages of Authentic OEM Parts Data

Let me break down what you actually get. The catalog has a Numerical Index and a Subject Index — you can look up a part two ways. It includes the Filters section (engine oil, hydraulic, fuel) with exact replacement part numbers. The Decals section shows warning labels and their positions, so you can order a replacement for that faded decal on the lift arm. Page 126 shows the warning decal for the ROPS structure. Page 247 lists the tilt cylinder assembly with every seal and bushing. The bookmarks in the PDF let you jump straight to any section. No scrolling through 176 pages blind.

Why Aftermarket Catalogs Fail

Aftermarket catalogs try to be one-size-fits-all. They combine multiple models, skip superseded parts, and omit revision notes. This manual is an original OEM print. Look at the revision date: April 2014, Revision F. That means GEHL made at least six updates to this parts list. Aftermarket reprints usually only capture the first release. If you order a part based on an old revision, you get a part that no longer fits. The GEHL engineers update part numbers when suppliers change or tolerances tighten. Only the factory manual tracks those changes. this Wikipedia article on diesel engines explains why manufacturers revise parts — same applies here.

Audience Fit: Who Needs This Parts Catalog?

If you own a GEHL RT175, you need this catalog. Period. I see DIY guys trying to order hydraulic hoses by measuring length and guessing the fitting type. That ends with a leak at the crimp because the angle was off by 10 degrees. The parts catalog gives you the hose assembly part number, including the port designations. The manual explains: “Represents a port designation on hydraulic components.” You match the port letter to the fitting in the diagram. For shop owners, having this catalog on a tablet means your techs stop wasting time cross-referencing parts. The torque values in the Reference section also apply to common fasteners on the loader — you can use them for other machines with similar bolts, but the catalog keeps it specific to the RT175.

Decals and Filters – Specific Sections

The Decals chapter lists every sticker on the machine: from the operation warnings to the decal on the hydraulic tank. Each decal has a part number and a reference note like “Refer to page 126 for the warning decal.” That is exact. The Filters chapter gives you the OEM part numbers for air, oil, fuel, and hydraulic filters. If you grab a generic NAPA filter without cross-referencing, you might get the wrong micron rating. The catalog tells you the exact GEHL filter part number. No guesswork. The O-Ring Tables in the Reference section include dash sizes and dimensions. That saved me when I had to replace a seal on the drive motor — the manual told me it was a -12 O-ring with a 0.070 cross-section.

FAQ

Does this catalog include service procedures like oil changes?

No. This is a parts catalog. It shows exploded views and part numbers. For service steps, get the GEHL RT175, RT210 2013 Operators Manual – Factory Specs or the GEHL RT175, RT210, RT250 2013 Operators Manual – Factory Specs.

Will this help me identify parts on a series II RT175 with a Tier IV engine?

Yes, if your serial number falls within 10401–811000. The manual explicitly says it covers machines equipped with a Tier III or Interim Tier IV engine. The parts listings include both standard and optional features, including EU standards. When you order parts, you need the last five digits of the serial number, as stated on page 2 of the manual. The catalog uses serial number breaks (e.g., SN 999 and before) to indicate when part designs changed. For example, a tilt cylinder part on page 247 might have a supersession if your machine falls after a certain break. The Numerical Index also lets you look up a known part number to see which assemblies it belongs to. If your machine has a different engine tier than listed, you should contact GEHL or check the GEHL RT175 2013 Parts Catalog for earlier revisions — but this 2014 edition is the most current for the serial range. The external this Wikipedia article on diesel engines gives background on Tier standards, but the manual’s data is what matters for ordering.
