GEHL CT6-18 2009 Parts Catalog

I’ve been turning wrenches for 28 years. If you order a part for a GEHL CT6-18 2009 Parts Catalog without checking the serial number, you’re going to get a box of wrong metal. This factory Parts Catalog from GEHL covers the CT6-18 Turbo and CT6-18 Low-Profile telescopic handler – serial number 263329 and before. 244 pages, printed August 2009, Form No. 913224 Revision C. It tells you exactly which part number to order, where it goes, and how it’s assembled. No guessing, no aftermarket garbage.

Serial Number Cutoff: 263329 and Before

GEHL stamps the serial number on a plate inside the operator station and on the top front of the frame. This manual only applies to units with serial 263329 and earlier. If you’ve got a newer machine, you need a later revision. The introduction on page 2 is clear: when ordering service parts, specify the part number, full description, quantity required, and the unit model and serial number. I’ve seen guys skip that and end up with a hydraulic filter that doesn’t fit. Don’t be that guy.

What Parts Are Covered in the Table of Contents?

The Table of Contents lists each component group. You get Filters and Belts (page 6), Hydraulic Filter Assembly (page 7), Tires and Wheels (page 8), Cab Side Glass (page 10), Front and Top Glass (page 12), Rear Glass (page 14), Rear Top Glass (page 16). Grease fittings and common attaching hardware like cotter pins, set screws, woodruff keys are indented below the associated part but NOT illustrated – unless a special routing or fastening arrangement is needed. That hardware is for mounting only; don’t order it as a replacement part.

Use the Alphabetical Index to Track Down Parts

This catalog includes both a Numerical Index and an Alphabetical Index split into sections: A thru B, C thru D, E thru H, H thru O, P thru T, T thru W. If you’re looking for a specific part number or description, start there. I’ve worked with aftermarket indexes that skip half the entries. This one is factory-sourced and correct. You can cross-reference with the GEHL CT6-18 2009 Parts Catalog itself to verify part numbers before you call the dealer. Pair it with the GEHL CT6-18, CT6-18 Turbo 2006 Operators Manual – OEM Factory Specs for operation procedures, and the GEHL CT6-18 Turbo Service Manual – 580-Page Factory OEM Specs for repairs. All three together save you from stacking wrong parts on the shelf.

244 Pages of Factory Part Numbers

Two hundred forty-four pages. That’s the entire machine broken down into individual components. The PDF bookmark structure mirrors the printed book: Front Cover, Introduction, Table of Contents (4 pages), Numerical Index, then the Alphabetical Index sections. Every part number is OEM. The manual states: “Gehl Company reserves the right to make changes or improvements without incurring obligation to install such changes on any unit previously delivered.” So if your machine has a later revision of a part, you need to check supersessions. But the base numbers here are the starting point.

Torque Specifications: Inside Back Cover

Standard attaching hardware torque values are printed on the inside back cover. Unless otherwise specified, all capscrews are Grade 5, cadmium or zinc plated; hexagon nuts for Grade 5 capscrews and bolts are Grade 5. I’ve pulled apart too many machines where some clown used a generic torque chart from Google. This is the spec GEHL designed to. Use it. For background on the Yanmar diesel engines used in these machines, read this Wikipedia article on diesel engines and this Wikipedia article on diesel engines for general knowledge.

Can I use this Parts Catalog to find exploded views?

Yes. Each component group shows parts with callouts and reference numbers. The list below the illustration gives the part number and description.

How do I know if my CT6-18 serial number is covered?

The serial number plate is inside the operator station and stamped on the top front of the frame. This manual covers units with serial number 263329 and before. If your machine is newer, you need a later revision – check the Form No. on the cover. GEHL updates parts manuals when they change suppliers or revise components. Always confirm your serial before ordering.
