    Mustang 960 skid steer

    Subscribed! I need to rebuild that valve also. I have been subconsciously ignoring it for the last year. Mine sticks when you try to lower the boom. I thought it was the linkage but testing has revealed that it is the control valve assembly beneath the floor board that is the problem. Needs...

    Calling all Snorkel Experts! TB 60 Boom Lift Woes - Idle issue - Please help!

    Update: We found a loose wire in the control box. The connector was so loose that the wire easily came off. We re-connected it tightly and now the machine moves in reverse again. So we are now back to trying to figure out the "idle problem". Truth be told, the "idle problem" is probably...

    Calling all Snorkel Experts! TB 60 Boom Lift Woes - Idle issue - Please help!

    Edit - Now the dang machine won't move in reverse! We moved the machine out into the sun so we could take the above photos. When we started it up and attempted to move it, we discovered that the machine will move in the forward direction, but when you move the lever on the control box to move...

    Calling all Snorkel Experts! TB 60 Boom Lift Woes - Idle issue - Please help!

    I am posting photos of the outside and inside of the control box in the basket to see if anyone has any ideas. The location of the grounds on this machine are proving difficult to find. So far, I think we have found two (2) grounding locations, both on the frame. We cleaned both and...

    Joy Industrial Air Compressor

    I know I'm jumping into this conversation kind of late. But I used to own a Joy D100S air compressor. I scanned the operators manual and the parts manual. Both of those manuals include the 185 model (your model, I think). Go to this link and scroll down to the Joy manuals and download away...

    Mustang 960: Jerky steering / intermittent right sided drive failure

    Finally got around to diagnosing and fixing this Mustang, so I thought I would post a follow up. Things move slow around here. My friend poked around and found that there are four relief valves (two on each side) on the hydrostat at the circled locations in the photos. The troubleshooting is...

    Mustang 960: Jerky steering / intermittent right sided drive failure

    I finally got around to test driving this skid steer. My friend has been using it, despite the steering woes. I found that in moving forward, this skid steer will not spin to the left - this would be counterclockwise if you were a bird looking down at it (but it CAN spin to the right). In...

    Mustang 960: Jerky steering / intermittent right sided drive failure

    This problem has developed over time and now it has gotten worse and is really starting to annoy me. This is a 1992 rubber tired Mustang 960 with the "tee handle" steering. The problem is difficult to describe. The diesel engine and hydraulic lift cylinders and controls work fine. The left...
