Kenny,
Beware of the project mule. The introductory "reasonable " price cascades into a money pit fast. This particular mule came from David Kelone and the price included all major parts to finish it up. David was very fair and reasonable with the included parts. The engine was not...
I have been working on a neglected mule I picked up at Aberdeen. it was a parts mule David had on the "hill". He was fair and honest on his evaluation and description before it was delivered to the show. Here are some before and after pictures. The motor was swapped out for an NOS motor...
I put the kit on my truck and if I remember correctly with the wheels pointing straight you need to measure the length of the tie rod to find the center. Operate the cylinder(by hand) to find the center point of travel. Put the centered cylinder on the center mark on the tie rod. When the...
On my way to work this morning I noticed the local USMC reserve unit had a delivery waiting for them. The truckeers were not around so I was reluctant to open the doors to get some data plate info and interior shots. Here are the pictures
Eric, since you asked:
This thread was created to construct a link to the picture for the G503 site as we were discussing the original mule 12v starter. There was a request for a picture and I was not able to post a picture on that site.
The starter is not for sale as it will be incorporated...
Clinto, Congrats on the mule! I had mine out for the Memorial Day parade and it was appreciated by many 'Nam vets. I was able to muscle the 2 halves of the 106 out of the truck, into the shop and onto the stands myself. To mount the completed unit on the mule it will require soldier A,B, and...
I have been busy in the shop stripping the mule down and working on the 106 recoilless rifle restoration. Lots of cleaning up on all fronts. I cleaned up the barrel and found a piece of scedule 80 4" steel pipe to sleeve and join the halves together with. The cuts in the breech and muzzle are...
David,
The 50 is only used for ceremonial duty on the back of the mule. I would never attempt to fire it on the mule. The 50 mount will probably be removed from my fun mule as the other mule will become the 106mm RR hauler.
The parade had a great turn out of green iron from the local pa club. The Marines had their flashy H3 there for all to see. I had my mule there with Ma Deuce on board. Enjoy the pictures!
Following up on the pictures of the T&E torch cuts and and their repair I decided to give JB weld a try. I bought the stick variety you mix with your fingers to acticate till it changes color. I thought this would be a safe solution for closing up the holes around the gears rather than mig...
Mike,
The mule and the 106 are being worked on together with the 106 being the filler while mule parts are ordered and received. I don't know if it will be done by gilbert I am planning on having it done for the upcomming November 10th Philadelphia USMC birthday bash.
Here are the pictures of the demilled 106 that will grace the back of one of David's "off the hill" bargain mules.
Anybody have any small parts?
I need the small cap that covers the elevation shaft of the T&E opposite the operating hand wheel
I need the cap that goes on the end of the breech...
