Today is a good day, I finally got to fire up the mule after many hours of getting it to this point. I am happy to report that it kicked right over just like I had ran it yesterday. I'm sure it is happy to run after it's 28 year sleep ! Even the lifters are quiet, but I turned it over quite a...

Fellow Mule owners, I could use your help, If you will look in the picture. I have this missing drain plug, it looks to be a water drain for the bell housing but I want to make sure, I don't see where it drains a gearcase. If it is a water drain should I leave it out or install a new plug. I...

We had some real nice 75 degree days last weekend so I was finally able to finish the bodywork on my top, I now have it set in "poly" primer and looking to block it out this next weekend (weather permitting) now I have to get the glass window cut and paint all of the trim pieces. Still lots to...

Jon is right, don't feel you have to drive up in a military vehicle to attend Tower. If you are a military vehicle enthusiast or a veteran and would like to see American military vehicle history in action this is the place to be. Friday the 22nd would be the best day to attend and it is free...

I was going to bulid mounts but I would like to drive the Mule around Tower Park equipped and the shown mounting would be to wide, I was thinking of mounting one litter on the pass side lengthwise for operating it and have another set up for the stationary display but I only have two litters, It...

Hi all, I finally have the motor back together and the seat is all put togther too, I started painting the blasted parts so I can reassemble the Hubs, I should be lighting off the engine this weekend, just the fuel lines and I still have to mount and wire the Battery in for the new electric...

Hi All, Well I have installed the new fuel pump & carb, I currently have the Mag out and I am servicing it. I need the points gap if anyone could help, I tore down the hubs on the right side and I have all the parts sitting in chem dip for cleaning. I received my seat washers,screws & footman...

Does anyone have a picture of the "Litter kit" for the mule ? or can refer me to what TM would have this kit discribed. I have a couple of litters and I thought it would be different to have the mounts, I was wondering if they mounted across or lengthwise. lengthwise would be the way to go but...

I finally got to spend some time on the Mule today, I moved it into my heated shop last night and today I got to install the new steering wheel , extended shifter and then I found all the linkages were bent due to the floor supported pivots being rusted where they would not move. I guess the...

Yea, I really don't want to change the appearance from original so I'll hide a battery underneath it somehow, I was thinking of one of the mini dry cells they sell now. I could probally just leave the pull start but what a pain when I am visiting around Tower. It is rude to leave the noisy...

Yea, being it sat so long I know I'm going to have to check everything over and yes replacing all the seals is a "for sure" I already picked up a new fuel pump. It looks like this Mule was maybe set up for dry storage, the fuel tank looks like new inside and it appears to had grease smeared on...

Hi All, I just picked up my new Mule, it is a 7/68 Baifield USMC with 67 hrs on it. It has been sitting for the last 28 years here in Barstow and boy did we have fun picking it up, it did not want to move and it was starting to rain pretty good so we drugg it into a full size Chevy P/U. I'm...

Hi, The top did come with the very rare front interior header cover, I had all of the interior metal upholstered in camo material, it looks great ! I did remove all of the original insulation and replace it with fiberglass type "I removed the paper" I also srayed "spray on" undercoating, I...

Hey Wolfen, My way to go to Tower: I start gathering extra parts to sell there & fill 2ea. 55 gallon drums throughout the year to have the fuel (800 miles) so I can afford the trip myself. I have been lucky the past two times to sell enough stuff to pay for the trip ( food & space). I also...
