Thanks for the advice...I like the idea of raising the frame off the ground!

These are actually in a guy's backyard in Lubbock. I'm not interested in any of it, but if you are, pm me and I will give you his phone number...He has a house moving business and these were in his family for a long time.

So, here are the pictues of my new Mule. It's a little rough, but I'm planning a complete rebuild. It's missing some parts, of course. The previous owner built an engine guard, a pedal group, and added a steering wheel from an old car. The fuel tank is from something else, too. A crank...

I appreciate the explanation... Thanks for your hard work and don't take offense, we just needed to be ejukated...

I can't believe I never thought of the wheel scotches...

RE: pre lube Edited

I think it looks fine! That bolt is as big as the ball stud...shouldn't be a problem for what you're planning.

Okay, the pumps are now $100.00 for any Steel Soldiers member! Lee will be the first to buy one, and he will document the install on the site!!!

RE: Re: RE: Preluber pics Lee, that's a good idea...I'll talk to him on the 5th and see if he will let us have the pumps at that price, and also if he will ship them out...Might not be a bad idea for someone (you, maybe?) to buy one and install it before everyone sends off for a pump! Patrick...

RE: Preluber pics That makes two...who else wants one?

RE: Preluber pics They're about the size of a car starter...pretty heavy, too. If your're judging the size by the pressure hoses in the first picture, those hoses are BIG. The input and output on the pump is over an inch...not sure exactly what size.

In any business, products cost what people are willing to pay...by the way, I got my Mule for $500 a month ago! :beer:

Preluber pics Okay, I took some pictures and this is what we're looking at... The owner of the place told me that he fitted the pumps with standard size fittings so that regular pipe could be used. He also painted them and put a base mount on them. He was selling them to the oilfield workers...

The pumps look remarkably like the ones devilman is developing. I'm sure his are better... They look to be gear drive. The surplus yard is called McDonald's trading post in Plainview, Texas. I live in Lubbock, but will head up that way on Monday to take some pictures.

RE: pump Of course, I stopped to look at these and left my camera at home! I'll drive back out and take some pics by Monday, I promise. If these look like they'll work, we can get enough people, I think, to get the lower price.... Of course, this might offend some who don't agree with...

Otter, that was my comment about the starter motor, and I was just throwing it out there. The really nice thing about this site is that we can think aloud and voice our opinions without worrying about negative comments from the users like Bjorn and David who really know what they are talking...

RE: pump The guy says $150 for one, $100 each for 10 or more...

How to get them home? A towbar, diesel and some earmuffs...

RE: pump Okay, I found a stash of about 100 WWII aircraft hydraulic pumps... Bendix Aviation Corp Eclipse-Pioneer Division LBS/Sq in. 600 Gal/min 3.5 Volts 24 I think these were used in the P40 aircraft. Would this be enough pump to prelubricate? Looks like all you have to do is find the...

Say, could you use Dukw combat rims on a Deuce? They are the same bolt pattern, I think... The rim size is 18 instead of 20...are there any manufacturers of the 18 inch military tires? Just a thought... Actually, I think I'd rather recenter some Oshkosh combat rims...find those now on then...
