Gehl 3635 Troubleshooting
The
Gehl 3635 skid steer loader is powered by 100.2 cu.in (1.6L) Yanmar 3TNV88
three-cylinder direct injection liquid-cooled diesel engine with a rated power
of 36.7 hp (27.4 kW) at 3000 rpm. The Gehl 3635 is equipped with a radial-lift
loader boom, single-speed hydrostatic transmission, 80K drive chains, and
27x8.5x15 or 27x10.5x15 tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow
rate of 14.5 gpm (55 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 2750 psi (190 bar). The
skid steer loader has a rated operating capacity of 1050 lbs (476 kg) and
tipping load of 2100 lbs (953 kg). The lift height is 108" (2745 mm) to
hinge pin, and dump height is 84.5" (2145 mm).
