Jeff, I have a Mustang 310 and am very happy with it. I don't believe there is a drain plug. The hydro reservoir is under the floor panel below your feet. It holds 18 gallons of hyraulic fluid. As you remove the floor plate, you will find a large gasket all the way around it that you will...

Problem solved!!!! Your comments about not getting enough power from the carburator made me take a look at the engine. The Kohler engine is a 2-cylinder and when the hydraulics are not engaged, not much power is needed from the engine. It turns out that when I had the engine running without the...

Gosh, I hope you are right in the idea that the carb is blocked! Something that might support that view is that last week, I went to start the 310 because it had sat for about 6 weeks. It would not start -- turned over but seemed not to be getting fuel. I put gas in the tank and tried again but...

The engine is a Kohler 18 hp gas engine. To my knowledge it does not have a hydraulic governor. We are thinking that one of the hydraulic fluid bipass lines on the high pressure side of the hydraulic valve is somehow partially plugged which would cause the Mustang to bog down when the clutch is...

This is definitely hydraulic. The lever pushes an idler spool into the serpentine belt which then engages two pulleys connected to two hydraulic pumps -- one for the left side and one for the right side. The drive levers for each side tie directly into these hydraulic pumps.

Gehl still has parts for just about every Mustang made, including the Owatonna manufactured one. I have a Mustang 310 and have gotten several parts from Gehl.

Did you find a suction line filter? I posted (two up from this thread) a problem about a Mustang 310 with a very similar problem. the boom and bucket hydraulics work fine, but suddenly when I engaged the 'clutch' (idler pulley which tightens a sepentine belt which drives the two hydraulic pumps...

I have a Mustang 310 skid loader. This machine has a clutch which essentially pushes an idler spool into the large serpentine belt which then engages the two pumps which drive the wheels. When the clutch is not engaged, the engine runs fine and the hydraulics for the boom and bucket work fine...
