Welcome to the site. You will really enjoy your mule. Do you know if it is USMC or Army? Carnac came up with a listing of Army mules and I attached a copy. I'm assuming you carefully took the paint off the side where the numbers are located? You can easily find replacement data plates for...

I would recommend following the troubleshooting chart in the TM. It is very good and easy to follow.

Actually, I put a post on Benzworld about the problem. Several people responded and told me to check the charging warning light bulb. They said that voltage from the bulb goes to the alternator and is required to activate the alternator. My bulb checked out fine, but when I re-installed it...

Now that I have the air pressure issues resolved, I need to attack the problem that my alternator isn't charging and the tach, which is fed by the alternator, isn't working. Although the TM says I must tilt the cab to access the alternator, I seem to remember a post, either on SS or Benzworld...

I installed the new unloader. Took about one hour and everything works now. I did have to adjust the regulator to get the pressure up to 106 PSI. Maybe this one will last longer than the last replacement I did.

I remember blowing a front tire while driving in the Alps in Germany in 1971. It was a royal pain changing that wheel. I don't remember what the jack looked like but I still remember trying to get that wheel off!.

You have been busy! Looks good.

Actually, the one that failed on mine was replaced by me several years ago. The model # I purchased for both is: WA9753034730A. I hope my new one holds up better. After removing the failed unloader, I noticed some corrosion in the steel fittings between the unloader and the crossover tube to...

Turns out the problem is with the unloader. I found a replacement on Ebay for $58.80 with free shipping. Hopefully I'll receive it soon because I have a project that needs the jackhammer.

You have to be subscribed for a certain period of time to have full access. Definitely worth it though. G838.org is the best place you can go for anything related to M151 vehicles. You can send a PM to rickf, who owns the site and can explain policies. Rick is also on steel soldiers.

I have an MEP003A 10KW genset. My large house is total electric. I have zero problems with this 10kw generator handling everything. I don't have to select circuits. It handles my geothermal heat pump, well pump, washer, dryer, oven, etc. without difficulty. It consumes about one gallon per...

You need to go to the G838.org site. They specialize in M151 1/4-tons. That site will have everything you need to install your radios and a lot of expert advice. I installed the exact same radios in my M151A2 and that site was a great help. It's also a great place for anything else related...

45 miles isn't that far. Brakes are the most important. I would also make sure you have the telephone number for a towing company local to your destination that can handle your truck, in case you have problems on the way home that you can't handle on the road by yourself.

Personally, I wouldn't buy one that has already had unknown modifications made. However, since you already own it, I would try to find out who the previous owner was and try to find out what modifications were made.

I believe the hydraulic belt is NBH 259440. This is a NAPA number, but I think the belt is made by Gates.
