Gehl 502, 602, 652 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Weak, slow, or noisy hydraulics
Hydraulic functions that turn weak, slow, or noisy, sometimes with overheating, usually follow fluid loss, contamination, or worn hoses and seals. The Hydraulic section covers the pump, pilot oil supply, main valve block, and pilot control valves, with the main relief valve set to 3336 psi on the 502 and 3553 psi on the 602 and 652.
Manual Section: Hydraulic p. 59Final drive loses power or stalls one side
A loss of travel power or a track that stops on one side often means final drive motor wear or contamination. The Hydraulic section covers the drive unit and swivel joint, including the drive motor with its rated torque of 132.7 ft-lbs (180 Nm).
Manual Section: Hydraulic p. 59Tracks run too tight or too loose
Incorrect track tension and worn idlers or rollers cause frequent de-tracking and rapid wear. The Maintenance section covers the undercarriage along with the service schedule that keeps track deflection in the correct range.
Manual Section: Maintenance p. 21Boom or bucket develops excessive play
Jerky movement or slop in the boom, arm, and bucket usually points to dry or worn pins and bushings. The Maintenance section covers greasing and the lubrication chart that keep these joints tight.
Manual Section: Maintenance p. 21Hard starting or electrical faults
No-start and intermittent electrical problems trace to the battery, relays, or wiring. The Electrical section gives the wiring diagram, relay positions, starter relay, and solenoid stop circuit for the 502 and 602 to isolate the fault.
Manual Section: Electrical p. 117Engine runs rough or underpowered
Rough running or low power can come from fuel delivery or engine wear. The Diesel Engine section gives the engine specifications, fuel line diagram, and cooling water line details needed to service the Yanmar power unit.
Manual Section: Diesel Engine p. 111Frequently Asked Questions
