Mustang 2041 Troubleshooting

The Mustang 2041 skid steer loader is powered by Yanmar 4TNV88-XMS2 vertical four-cylinder naturally aspirated water-cooled diesel engine with a rated power of 46 hp (34 kW) at 2600 rpm. The Mustang 2041 is equipped with a radial-lift loader boom, single-speed hydrostatic transmission, 80K drive chains, and 10x16.5 HD standard tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow rate of 16.5 gpm (62 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 2750 psi (190 bar). The skid steer loader has a rated operating capacity of 1350 lbs (612 kg) and tipping load of 2700 lbs (1225 kg). The lift height is 110 inches (2795 mm) to hinge pin, and dump height is 86.5 inches (2195 mm).
