I picket up this 2042 just a couple off days ago. Everthing seems to be working great other than a few electrical issues, hopefully no big deal. The other problem is the bucket to lift requires to hold down both pedals simultaneously ? First mustang i ever owned,no Manuel's at the moment! what do you guys think is going on. Thanks

I would start by checking main relief pressure.

OK thanks Dan ! Its weird that the bucket goes up with both pedal,s but down no problem with the one pedal/ Thanks Again!

Possibly the aux hydraulics are stuck on?
The reason it will fall with one is there is no pressure required to retract the cylinders, gravity and the weight of the arms and bucket will make it fall easily.

Tazza I will definitely check aux hydro! mustang uses a cable to run the bucket functions to the control valve that's in the Eng compartment.can you adjust the foot pedals at that location? Thanks for the help/info

Sorry, never worked on one. Hopefully you can adjust them though, i see no reason why you couldn't.
