Gehl SL5635, SL6635 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Sudden loss of hydraulics or drive
Owners report the machine losing all hydraulic drive, often traced to a failed coupler between the engine and the hydrostatic pumps. The Hydrostatic System section covers the pump drive coupling and pump removal and installation.
Manual Section: Hydrostatic System p. 95Dead or intermittent electrical system
A machine that seems electrically dead can be a battery disconnect switch left off or a tripped 20 amp breaker rather than a failed component. The Electrical System section includes relay tests and the electrical schematic.
Manual Section: Electrical System p. 157Weak hydraulics under load
Slow lift or tilt and poor attachment performance point to system pressure or charge pressure problems. The Hydraulic System section provides system pressure and cylinder tests to isolate the fault.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System p. 108Lift or tilt cylinder drift
Cylinders that will not hold position usually have worn rod seals letting oil bypass the piston. The Hydraulic System section documents cylinder removal, disassembly, and self leveling valve testing.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System p. 108Drive chain and axle bearing wear
Loose or worn drive chains and axle bearings cause noise and drivetrain slop on skid loaders. The Wheel Drives section covers chain adjustment, chain removal, and axle and wheel bearing service.
Manual Section: Wheel Drives p. 43Low hydrostatic charge pressure
Sluggish hydrostatic response can come from low charge pressure or worn pump relief valves. The Hydrostatic System section includes the case drain test and the charge pressure test and adjustment.
Manual Section: Hydrostatic System p. 95Frequently Asked Questions
