Mustang 2032 Troubleshooting

The Mustang 2032 skid steer loader is powered by 100.2 cu.in (1.64L) Yanmar 3TNV88 4-cycle 3-cylinder direct injection naturally aspirated liquid-cooled diesel engine with a rated power of 36 hp (27 kW) at 3000 rpm. The Mustang 2032 is equipped with a radial-lift loader boom, single-speed hydrostatic transmission, 80K drive chains, and 27x10.5x15 (Std) or 10.0x16.5 (Opt) tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow rate of 14.5 gpm (54.5 lpm). The skid steer loader has a rated operating capacity of 1250 lbs (567 kg) and tipping load of 2500 lbs (1135 kg). The lift height is 110 inches (2795 mm) to hinge pin, and dump height is 86.5 inches (2195 mm).
