Gehl Dynalift

[mrhege]

We purchased a 99 Gehl 6LDL telehandler last spring to use in our constructing buisness, overall it runs fine but we have 1 main issue and several questions we can not figure out. We purchased a parts and service manuals but they do not give much information on these matters.
#1- what does the axle alignment switch do?
#2- what does the transmission de-clutch switch do?
#3- Main Problem is the 4 wheel drive does not engage, what activates the 4 wheel drive and what do we trouble shoot to help find out the problem.
Both switches mentioned above have power in and power out but we cannot detect any functions working. We would appreciate any info that you can give. Thanks

Welcome to the forum mrhege. :usa

Do you mean a Gehl DL-6? I've worked on DL-8's some years ago, doubt they're much different. Axle alignment switch? Not familiar with that. Do you mean the steering selector switch? Can't remember for sure how the de-clutch works on those machines, but the de-clutch function would be so you could disconnect drive in order to throttle engine to rapidly raise or lower the boom without having to select N on your fwd/rev lever. The switch may enable the de-clutch to be operated by slightly depressing brake pedal, or selecting the brake pedal to not de-clutch, can't remember. Don't remember how the 4wd works. I would think if you don't have a 4wd selector switch on the dash somewhere, then it would be in 4wd all the time and you have a problem with drivetrain somewhere. As for electrical problems, one thing I used to see frequently on DL-8 machines is bad connections where the relays plug into the relay board. I've had to pull the relay boards out and repair spade terminal connections where they connect to relay terminals on the 8's. Hope this helps a little.

We have got the axle alignment switch to work, think it was some dirty connections, had to adjust the sensor on top of rear axle also. If there is any other info on trouble shooting the 4 wheel drive we would appreciate it. Also is there any decent online parts stores for a Gehl DL-6L40 telehandler? Thanks for the info

for parts try Company Wrench (in Ohio) or a Gehl farm dealer. Alot of these lifts are sold through ag dealers

I dont mean to hijack your thread but i cant start one of my own at this time. Have you had a "Low accumulator pressure" light ever come on and lose everything, no steer, no boom, no forward or reverse? This is the problem that I have and there is nothing in the manuals to address this.

There is a coupling between the engine and transfer case that broke. I had to pull the engine and replace it. Not a hard job and only took about two hours start to finish.
