    New mule owner

    I have never heard the extra contact makes it wear faster. Interesting. The alignment procedures are in the TM's, and you now know here to find them! :)

    Mule M-274 A-5

    The hub roll pins are a "weirdo" size, no hardware store I ever went to had them. I had to order them from Dave Kelone a few years back.

    New mule owner

    PM sent. Unless your going for 100% factory look, I wouldn't worry about the tires. They get chewed up fast.

    Mule tie rod end availability???

    What are short tie rods available everywhere for $15 or so, but no long ones to be had, no matter the price? Were the short ones also used in another vehicle, while the long were specific to the mule? (sort of like the spark plug wires?)

    Radio in M923A2? sell separate?

    And that hinderance is the reason why my guys bolted the mount to the "front" of the passenger seat base in the 5 tons.. Much easer to check the batteries and the passenger OR driver could operate the radio. CECOM didn't like it, but I didn't see them offering us any better solutions to that...

    Radio in M923A2? sell separate?

    that tray/mounting bracketry is only really usable to to those with 900 series 5 tons. They dont fit anything else. The LS-671 speakers are common for all vehicles that have SINCGARS, but they are all over ebay for 20-40$. I'll say if you get $100 or so, your doing well. The antenna...

    Radio in M923A2? sell separate?

    it is a SINCGARS radio tray. Now you need the VAA and radio. VAA's are easy to find on ebay, the radios are out there, but not cheap. Murphys Surplus in CA had them for sale.

    My engine is broke?
