[QUOTE="Neckdogg, post: 133965, member: 24720"] I am very much an amature with fixing things and restoring things but this opportunity came along and it was kind of a no Brainer to try. I recently purchased a Owatonna Mustang 1700 (or at least I think it is, but not sure how to identify model or year) I am absolutely in over my head on this one but I picked it up complete for $600 so I don't really think I can go wrong here. I hVe started a thread in the other brand skid steers section asking for any help or suggestions anyone has. The Ford V4 is seized and I don't know if I will be success full getting it freed up but I am trying. Magic mystery oil and ATF down the plug holes has not freed it up yet. Is there a better point than the flywheel teeth where I can try to move it from preferable with a wrence, breaker bar and extension? I plan to video and post this whole process in an attempt to restore it and convert the front end to a quick attach so I can use other attachments on it. I do want the restoration to be a fairly nice one including paint and new stickers at the very end. [/QUOTE]
