I was not able to find an actual diagram, it probably wouldnt have helped much anyway as this 1980 machine has been tinkered with before. I got a replacement ignition switch from john deere, that matched the one that was in there. I lengthened all of the wires about 6 inches and started figuring...

My gehl has an electrical draw that drains the battery. I put a disconnect on the neg post. when I remember to disconnect it is usually charged and ready to to use. Well the last time I used it I did not disconnect. I hit the key and it was DEAD. this usually isnt a problem and I can throw the...

I had been dreading the worst, and putting off tearing into the skidsteer to diagnose the problem. We finally got some decent weather so I started removing covers. I found the bracket had come off the pump shaft. It was a tough squeeze but I was able to get it back on the shaft, install a roll...

Thanks for the suggestions, I am hoping to have a look at things this weekend, weather permitting. Where are the valves located?

Im gonna have to find some manuals for this. I wish i Had gotten some use out of this before I had to tear into it.

Well I did it again.. I bought another old Gehl hoping it would do everything I wanted it to do.. I bought a nice looking gehl 4500 last week.. guy delivered it.. I literally drove it from his trailer up my lane, knocking down some high spots on some ruts then parked it. Yesterday I used it for...

I have a gehl 2600 skidsteer with an onan 24 hp engine. We were expecting 10" of snow so I gassed it up and decided to run it a bit before the big snow. it was hard to start but once it popped it ran and idled fine. so I backed it into the garage ready for the snow. today we got 10" of snow +...

yeah I am glad the cylinders are done. A coworkers husband works for the county and he gave me a hand with the cylinders. both snap rings broke while trying to remove them, so it added some time and energy. but now that they are done and the belt is tight, It is running and lifting great.

This Old Small skidsteer doesnt have any auxillary hookups.. But non the less I got it resolved today.... Off the motor pulley is a wide serventine belt... It can been seen. Ti was tight and in good shape. What couldnt be seen behind the protective cover was a smaller v-velt that runs the...

this is all foregn to me....Not sure if it has case drain filters... Where would I look?

Not sure How or where to check the pressure.

Does not seem to matter hot or cold. Today I changed the filters and it helped a Little....still doesnt have the lift capacity it used to. I scooped a level bucket of dirt. it lifted waist high and then struggled to get it to full height.. More research and as always any help from the forum is...

So we replaced the seals/o rings in both lift cylinders....What a pain in the but. Both c clips broke and took about an hour each to get tapped out and the cylinders disassembled. Reassembly was easy...fluid all looked nice and clean... Once it was back together ran the bucket up and down and...

my 2600 when I raise the bucket it isnt smooth going up with a load. have to kind of pump the lever to get it to raise up. Empty the bucket goes up/down ok..maybe a bit slower up than it used to be. The fluid level looks to be ok. is this a Hydro issue. Should I change the fluid or where do you...

I did see the plugs, but they are seized in place.. This spring i will get them out or drill new holes for draining purposes.
