    mustang

    I just bought a low hour 2042 after selling off my reliable 940 I had for 11 years. What does anyone know about the 2042? Are the drive chains adjustable? What are the major differences between a 2040,2041,2042,2044??? There doesn't seem to be much information on the 2042. Mine is a 2000 model...

    Massey Ferguson 50ex skip loader

    The 50ex Does have a PTO. Owner runs a rotary cutter with it. He did not indicate if there was any faults. Aren't most newer machines 1960 and newer equipped with a live PTO anyway? I would use it for back blade, box blade, raking, and a little brush hogging. Was really hoping a PTO generator...

    1999 Mustang 2050 Safety Lockout, Intermittent

    The Mustang skid loaders are great! We have two. The electronic safety circuits have been our only problems. Try replacing the safety rocker switch (upper right). Or you could disable the peddle locks all together. Each spool has an operating rod for the lock out. Remove the solenoids and access...

    The Ultimate Small Dozer

    :my2cMy ideal dozer. Hmmmmmmmm. I like the Yanmar T-80 AG crawler. I've not ran one, but boy do they look cool! They have a narrow stance, rubber tracks, three point hitch, PTO, and are available with a dozer blade! I think this is a good start. I would like to see a compact rubber track...

    Massey Ferguson 50ex skip loader

    So good to hear from experienced MF guys! Is good to hear good news about the Massey Ferguson 50 Ex. I have never seen a loader like this that had two peddles to operate a torque converter transmission forward and reverse. So you guys definitely say that the transmission is a long lasting item...

    The fuel injection pump shut off solenoid must open to turn fuel "on". Have an assistant watch it while turning key into on position. Should have an audible click. You could tie the fuel on and off solenoid into the on position with a piece of mechanics wire then try to start it. The Fuel...

    Massey Ferguson 50ex skip loader

    I am looking for someone with experience operating, and maintaining a Massey Ferguson 50ex skip loader. I found a deal on one and have some questions, as I am unfamiliar. How durable overall are they? How does the unique forward and reverse pedals (shifter and throttle) compare to a plain old...

    Mustang skid steer BLOWN MOTOR

    Yanmar engines have the bore diameter in millimeters in their engine series. Example: 4tn88 is a 4 cyl engine with 88 mm bore dia. Why repower with Kubota? Yanmars Use less fuel, Start better, and outlast Kubota's in my opinion.

    Mustang 940 e pedal What you've got going on here is an intermittent electrical connection going to the solenoid release for the pedal lock. If you remove the seat, and locate the valve assy, you will see a bank of electronics. These are armatures that pull the locks off. Either find the...

    I have a '91 Mustang 940 and think its great. I work on my own equipment so it only makes sense to have such a simple, easy to service machine. The little Yanmar engine starts no matter how cold without any asistance,and only uses 8 gallons of fuel when you work its ass off for 10 hours. Try to...
