Owatonna Mustang 1700 Restore/repair project

Hello all,

I picked up an Owatonna Mustang 1700 that I am documenting the repair/restore process on. Please comment any advice or tips as you see fit!

Part one of the project

Great video. I'd say you got a good deal, I payed 3k for my 1200a and yours looks to be in better shape and it's a diesel.

Thank you! I have been looking for skids for a long time on Facebook marketplace and IronPlanet auction site and I've never seen one so cheap, but then to also have the possibility of running with relatively little work was a no brainer for me to pull the trigger!

How's the progress on the 1700? I get my hoses custom made as I wait at my local NAPA. Prices aren't bad either.

Running into some electrical issues that have me scratching my head. I don't know much so muddling through it. Once I can figure it out the next episode should be done.

Fun project if it's not too cold! I had to re-do my entire electrical system last year on my 1200. Not sure if I can help, but lemme know if you have a specific question.
