Message: <blockquote data-quote="dkmc" data-source="post: 64829" data-attributes="member: 8614">Picked up a 1982 Mustang 342 unit this past January. http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a348/dk1machine/mustang%20342/3.jpg It has the Kubota D1402 engine in it, seems to be in fair shape. I will use it around the (machine) shop mostly, and it will not see too many hours in a year I suspect. I plan on doing general maintenance and "discovery" investigations to it when the weather gets warmer. <img src="http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a348/dk1machine/mustang%20342/4391a26d-1942-4195-9f14-d98c5f2ca402.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a348/dk1machine/mustang%20342/BILD2209.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />It has some issues...as do all machines this old. Someone has installed a preheat push button and starter push button down by the seat...the upper control panel is basically dead, and no key came with it. Here are pictures from last week when I pulled back the upper panel...... <img src="http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a348/dk1machine/mustang%20342/BILD2313.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a348/dk1machine/mustang%20342/BILD2312.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a348/dk1machine/mustang%20342/BILD2307.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The mice can be VERY destructive bastards eh? This will be quite a project for a warm weekend.... I won't be progressing very fast on this project, not like some of the very aggressive resurrection projects I have enjoyed reading about on this forum. Some of you have WAY too much ambition! There are also a few oil leaks (Surprise!) and some bushings/ pins that need replacing. That should be no problem for me to accomplish. I want to get a fork attachment for it, and adapt a Myers 5ft angle snow plow to it for next winter. I will post more pics as I get into fixing the issues with this machine. dan k</blockquote>
