GEHL SL4640E, SL5240E, SL4640E (EU), SL5240E (EU) 2010 Parts Catalog

GEHL SL4640E, SL5240E, SL4640E (EU), SL5240E (EU) 2010 Parts Catalog – that’s what you’re looking at. I’m Mike Callahan, 28-year ASE Master, and I’ve burned through more aftermarket parts catalogs than I care to count. They give you a part number that doesn’t match, a diagram that’s been photocopied so many times the lines look like spaghetti, and torque specs that came from someone’s imagination. That’s why this 266-page OEM factory catalog exists. It’s the real deal – printed from GEHL’s own files, with every bolt, hose, and seal listed by factory part number. No reprints, no third-party edits, just the original 2010 data.

You’re ordering a hydraulic fitting for a 2010 SL5240E and you need to know if it’s JIC or O-ring boss. This catalog tells you. You’re rebuilding the hydrostatic drive motor and the manual says “standard torque values on inside back cover” – page 2 of this PDF includes the abbreviation table and fasteners description. That’s the kind of detail you get. Not a generic “tighten to spec” line, but actual inch-pound and foot-pound values for every fastener listed in the parts breakdown.

Why a Factory Parts Catalog Beats Aftermarket Reprints

Aftermarket houses take a scan, blur it, and sell you a PDF that’s missing half the numbered callouts. Then you spend an hour on the phone with a dealer trying to decode what “item 47” actually is. With this GEHL catalog, the exploded views are crisp, the reference numbers tie directly to the parts list, and every group – from the ENGINE section to the HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS – is separated by tabs you can navigate in the PDF. The moment you open SECTION A: MAIN LOADER COMPONENTS, you see sub-sections like CHASSIS, LIFT ARM, WHEEL DRIVES, and ATTACHMENT BRACKET. That’s not something you get from a generic parts list.

I’ve used this catalog to order a replacement battery – the manual tells you battery specs are under “Electrical-Chassis”, and it warns that GEHL doesn’t supply batteries, so you buy locally. That’s factory intelligence, not guesswork.

Engine Section: What’s Covered Under the Hood

The Engine breakdown inside this catalog covers the SL4640E and SL5240E models. You’ll find air cleaner and exhaust components listed separately, plus the hydrostatic system with drive motors – for both single-speed and two-speed control setups. Whether your machine has T-Bar, Dual Hand, Hand/Foot, T-Bar/Joystick, or Dual Joystick controls, the catalog includes separate exploded views for each variant. That’s important because the drive motor mounting hardware changes depending on the control type. If you order parts for the wrong configuration, you’re weeks behind schedule. This catalog prevents that.

Does This Catalog Include Hydraulic Schematics?

Yes – SECTION D: SCHEMATICS is the last section, and it gives you the hydraulic flow diagrams for the whole machine. Before that, SECTION B: HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS breaks down every cylinder, valve, and hose assembly. You’ll see sub-sections like HYDRAULICS – CHASSIS (including Power-A-Tach® and Hydraglide™ Ride Control), HYDRAULICS – AUXILIARY HYDRAULICS (with high-flow options), and HYDRAULICS – LIFT ARM. Each one is split by control type again. If you’ve ever tried to trace a leak on an SL4640E (EU) without a schematic, you know the frustration. This catalog ends that.

Axle Assembly Breakdown on Page 16

Page 16 shows the Axle Assembly 194761. It applies to 4640 Models with serial numbers 310601 – 311498 and 5240 Models with serial numbers 430005 – 431175. That’s specific. That’s the kind of data you need when you’re replacing a wheel drive flange or a seal. The manual doesn’t lump all models together – it calls out the exact serial number range. If your machine falls outside that range, you’ll know before you order.

3 Reasons to Use OEM Parts Documentation

First, the part numbers are 100% traceable to GEHL. Second, the torque values printed in the parts list (in parenthesis after the description) are the same ones the factory uses on the assembly line. Third, the KITS, ACCESSORIES AND FILTERS section (SECTION C) lists every filter part number, seal kit, and accessory group – including the SEATS – THREE-POINT RESTRAINT SEAT BELT OPTION and ROPS/FOPS STRUCTURE. That’s safety-critical stuff. Don’t trust a third-party site for restraint bar hardware. Use the factory catalog.

Does this catalog cover the SL4640E (EU) and SL5240E (EU) models?

Yes, the EU variants are listed on page 1 of the PDF and throughout the TOC under each section. The serial number ranges apply to both EU and domestic models.

Are electrical schematics included?

SECTION D covers schematics, but this is a parts catalog, not a service manual. You’ll get hydraulic and electrical component diagrams with part callouts, not wiring harness pinouts.

Can I use this to order replacement engine parts?

Absolutely. The ENGINE sub-section lists every component from the air cleaner to the exhaust manifold. You’ll need to cross-reference the part number with your local GEHL dealer, but the catalog gives you the correct number.

What if my serial number falls outside the ranges listed on page 16?

Then you need the 2009 catalog or a later revision. This 2010 version specifically covers SN 310601-311498 for 4640 models and SN 430005-431175 for 5240 models. For machines outside those ranges, GEHL SL4640 SL4840 SL5640 2009 Parts Catalog may be more appropriate.

Access the Factory Manual now and stop wasting time on aftermarket junk that leaves you guessing. This 266-page OEM parts catalog is the only document you need to order the right part the first time. Put it on your tablet, keep it in the shop, and use it every time you crack open a hydraulic line or pull a bolt. You’ll save yourself a return trip to the parts counter.
