This is a Mustang 940 skid steer I started a few years ago. Finally getting back to it.
Basically gutted the carcass and going over everything. New chains, seals, and misc bearings in the chain cases. Also a couple of used sprockets and I welded new blanks on a couple others.
We had good enough weather last weekend to get it sandblasted. Not good, but good enough. I spent some time with a flap wheel on the grinder smoothing edges and taking the burrs off of all the gouges in it. The previous owners definitely weren't worried about keeping it pretty. I think I will use some filler on the sides and make it look nice.
I shot it in primer yesterday. It was in the 50's today so I sprayed some yellow in the engine compartment and down in the belly. The paint was left over from the last one I painted.......20 years ago. Amazingly it was still good.
My plan is to get the engine and hydrostat in it and then paint the rest. I will probably paint the boom seperately since it's already off. The cab and back door are black so painted seperately as well.
Still a ways to go, but making some headway.
