I was wondering if anyone knows of a cross reference number for the hydraulic filters for a 2044.. Mustang filters are outrageous Thanks Steve

I have a bucket with a grapple set-up. The only down fall is that the damn thing is to heavy, and trying to move logs with it is tough..I seen a fork set-up with a grapple in the back of the equipment trader, but now I cant find the company..They sell cheap looking models on ebay, but I am...

Hey guys, I am looking for a heavy duty set of fork with a single grapple between the forks, to move a bunch of logs.. If anyone knows of a good company, please let me know Steve

I found out today by a Mustang Mechanic that it has to much Hydraulic Fluid in it...It kinda has a shitty set-up for the dip stick,,but I take full responsiblity for the mistake, and I am glad it is a cheap mistake,,I didnt have the dipstick pushed down to the bottom of the hydraulic tank...

The over flow is just zip tied to the filler spout,,,and at the end of the hose, it has a plug with screen in it..and thats where all the fluid is pissing from

Scott, I am kinda lost?? Does the filler cap have a relief in it?? and if it does, that would cause the fluid to come out of the over flow hose..

Scott, mine is the same set-up as yours, but would a bad cap cause the fluid to come out of the over flow hose

I agree what your saying about the foamy fluid..It makes sense, but the fluid coming out of the the filter plug is straight fluid, No foam..As for the fluid that comes out the filler tube, I am a little nervous taking that off and looking..I used a towel today, and the fluid was coming out..The...

No, the fluid wasnt foamy..Is there a relief valve for the hydraulic system?? I was thinking that might not be working..I have to use the machine today for a couple of hours, so I will check it again

After running the machine for about 10 minutes or so, the Hydraulic system builds so much pressure in it, the fluid starts to leak out of the hose (what I would call the overflow on a radiator)but at the end of the hose is a filter vent..Today I used the machine for a couple of hours and I...

So I should heat the rods, Before welding with them???? Now I am lost...

Tazza, I am not sure what you are talking about when you say a inverter...I have a Bobcat 225 that I am going to use...Also, where could I pick up some of those rods...I was planning on using a 7018, now that I am aware not to use a MIG.. Thanks Steve

Ok guys, I finally have everything tacked together..Now I am second guessing the welding ...What do you guys recommend for welding this splitter....I went a little overkill with the cylinder bracing...I have two 1 1/4 plates sandwiched around the cylinder hold down, all beveled and ready to...

I have a Mustang 2044 and I am in the process of putting together a splitter with a 5” ram with a 30 through...will my auxilary hydraulics have enough pressure to push it with no problem...I am not using a detent valve, I am going direct to the machine...Thank You

Thanks Tazza, thats what I was trying to ask in the first post..So those brackets are required?? Where do the brackets bolt to? and where do I find them?? Thanks agian for all the helpful information Steve
