    M274 Questions

    25 mph is correct an a way to make it go faster is set the governor top speed higher or mount 27 inch tall tires. The 27 inch tires are about the limit for steering. i mounted 27-8.50 x 15 STG tires on special 15 inch wheels. Speed is not your friend especially in 4 wheel steering with worn tie...

    Mule Wheel Bearing Question

    It is my experience that when the hub seal starts to leak it is usually due to the hub bearing starting to fail. To check the hub bearing jack up the mule so the wheels are off the ground Grab the wheel at 12 and 6 o'clock and rock in and out. Do not grab the wheel at 9 and 3 o'clock, movement...
