Mustang 4000V Troubleshooting
The
Mustang 4000V skid steer loader is powered by 273 cu.in (4.5L) Cummins QSB4.5
four-stroke four-cylinder vertical in-line turbocharged liquid-cooled diesel
engine with a rated power of 99 hp (74 kW) at 2200 rpm. The Mustang 4000V is
equipped with a vertical-lift loader boom, two-speed hydrostatic transmission,
100H drive chains, and 14x17.5 HD standard tires. The hydraulic system has a
pump with fluid flow rate of 32 gpm (121 lpm) or 40.8 gpm (154 lpm). The skid
steer loader has a rated operating capacity of 4000 lbs (1814 kg) and tipping
load of 8000 lbs (3630 kg). The lift height is 143.6" (3645 mm) to hinge
pin, and dump height is 114.8" (2915 mm).
