Mustang 2066 Troubleshooting
The
Mustang 2066 skid steer loader is powered by 199 cu.in (3.26L) Cummins B3.3
4-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine with a rated power of 60 hp (45 kW) or
202 cu.in (3.3L) Yanmar 4TNV98 4-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine with a
rated power of 68 hp (51 kW). The Mustang 2066 is equipped with a radial-lift
boom, 1-speed or 2-speed transmission, 100H drive chains, and 12x16.5
tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow rate of 21.5 gpm
(81 lpm). The skid steer loader has a rated operating capacity of 2000 lbs (907
kg) and tipping load of 4000 lbs (1815 kg). The lift height is 123" (3125 mm) to
hinge pin, and dump height is 95" (2415 mm).
