Gehl

Gehl repair manuals in PDF. Factory service and shop manuals for Gehl skid loaders, compact track loaders, compact excavators, telehandlers, wheel loaders, all-wheel-steer loaders, and articulated loaders, with full wiring and hydraulic schematics included.

Coverage runs from the compact end of the line to the heaviest machines. On the small side that means Z-series compact excavators and the CTL55 through CTL85 track loaders. On the large side it reaches the RS6 through RS12 telescopic handlers, the SL4640 to SL6640 skid loaders, and the current RT175, RT210, and RT250 track loaders. Skid loaders are the deepest part of the catalog, from the classic 4625 up through the 5635 and 6635 SX, DX, and DXT trims.

Gehl and Mustang are the same machines. Both are Manitou Group brands, and many service manuals carry both names on the cover. If you run a Mustang skid steer, the matching Gehl manual covers it. The Mustang 2066, 2076, and 2086 are the Gehl 5640E and 6640E, and the Mustang 2056 Series II is the Gehl 4640E and 5240E Power2.

Each manual is the factory document, carrying the Gehl Form Number the dealer service department pulls from the restricted Manitou B2B portal. That means real torque values, hydraulic and hydrostatic schematics, electrical diagrams, and step-by-step teardown procedures, the same depth the dealer technician works from.

Choosing the Right Gehl Manual

Every Gehl manual in the catalog is a full service or shop manual, and each one already includes the wiring diagrams, so there is no separate electrical book to track down. These are the diagnostic and overhaul documents: hydraulic and hydrostatic circuits, engine specs for the Yanmar, Deutz, and Perkins power units Gehl fitted across the range, drive and final-drive rebuilds, and the schematics for troubleshooting a no-start or a dead function.

Match the manual to your machine by model and generation. Trim letters matter on the skid loaders: SX, DX, DXT, and SXT share mechanicals but differ in cab and controls, and an E or Power2 suffix marks the emissions engine variant. On excavators and track loaders, GEN:2 and NXT2 mark the second design generation. When a Gehl number looks unfamiliar, check the Mustang equivalent, since the same chassis was often sold under both badges. Each listing shows the exact models it covers and a preview of the manual before you buy, so you can confirm your machine is in the file.

Are these the real factory Gehl manuals?

Yes. Each one is the factory service or shop manual identified by its Gehl Form Number, the same document a Gehl dealer technician works from. Gehl does not sell service manuals to the public and there is no consumer subscription portal, so the usual way to get this depth is through the dealer or through a copy like these. The SL4640 to SL6640 manual, for example, carries the full hydraulic schematics and torque tables, not a parts-list summary.

I have a Mustang. Will a Gehl manual work for my machine?

In almost every case, yes. Mustang and Gehl are sister brands under Manitou, and the machines are mechanically the same apart from occasional engine differences set up so neighboring dealers were not selling identical units. Many of the manuals list both names on the cover. A Mustang 2076 owner uses the 2066, 2076, 2086 and Gehl 5640E, 6640E manual, and a Mustang 2056 owner uses the 4640E, 5240E Power2 and Mustang 2056 manual. If your Mustang model is not in a title, match it to the Gehl equivalent or ask us and we will point you to the right file.
