Mustang 920–960 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Hard starting after fuel service
Air trapped after a filter change or fuel starvation makes the Yanmar-powered machines hard to prime and start. The Engine section covers the fuel system and cooling system troubleshooting.
Manual Section: Engine p. 99Weak or noisy drive motors
Wear in the drive motor or hydrostatic circuit leaves the machine weak or noisy under load. The Hydrostatic Drive System section covers charge pressure checks, the closed loop, and the piston pump and drive motor.
Manual Section: Hydrostatic Drive System p. 65Chaincase noise or metal in oil
Worn sprockets, chains, or bearings cause noise, vibration, and contamination in the chaincase. The Chain Case section covers the brake assembly and input drive shaft service and repair.
Manual Section: Chain Case p. 80Slow or weak hydraulics
Pump wear, a clogged filter, or a suction leak leaves lift and tilt slow or weak. The Hydraulic System section covers the pressure check and the lift and tilt circuit leak-down tests.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System p. 42Steering pull or drift from neutral
A T-bar or neutral centering issue makes the loader creep or pull when the controls are released. The Steering Controls section covers T-bar adjustments and neutral centering device service.
Manual Section: Steering Controls p. 34Hard to diagnose electrical or start fault
Intermittent starting and instrument faults trace to the wiring, starting circuit, or charging circuit. The Electrical System section provides the wiring diagram and starter and alternator disassembly.
Manual Section: Electrical System p. 111Frequently Asked Questions
