Item 1.01.     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

        On June 3, 2005, Gehl Company and its subsidiaries, Compact Equipment Attachments Inc., Gehl Power Products, Inc. and Mustang Manufacturing Company, Inc. (collectively the “Company”), entered into a Credit Agreement with a syndicate of five banks, led by Harris N.A. Under the Credit Agreement the Company has available a five-year $125 million revolving credit facility secured primarily by the Company’s accounts receivable arising from transactions with dealers (including so-called “dealer floor plan” arrangements) or other wholesale transactions, the Company’s inventory and the capital stock of the above-referenced subsidiaries. The Company may elect to pay interest on amounts outstanding under the credit facility at a rate equal to either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin or (2) the prime commercial rate plus or minus an applicable margin. Initially, interest under the Credit Agreement is payable at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.25% or the prime commercial rate minus 0.50%. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement on June 3, 2005 were used to repay in full the Company’s existing asset-based senior secured debt and other short term borrowings.

        Copies of the Credit Agreement and related Security Agreement are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.
