I would say more like working on a Volkswagen engine. Horizontally opposed, air-cooled, lots of shrouds to direct air. Fairly simple magneto system, once you understand it.
Parts WERE readily available from Bill Watson; have no idea now that he has evidently sold out.
IT IS TRULY A SAD DAY FOR THE MULE COMMUNITY!!!!!!
Bill is one of the finest men I have dealt with in ANY business.
How often do you have someone who will ship you hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of parts and just include an invoice assuming you will pay it?
I don't know any of the...
major519 has it right about what to look for
I purchased mine running for $4500 a couple years ago and spent about $2500 with Bill Watson buying everything in the world for it. First thing I did was convert to 4 wheel steer.
To me they are a pain with 2 wheel steer.
Mine is restored to the MAX...
I extended my frame 6", beefed up my bumper considerably between frame members and mounted mine behind bumper and between the frame members; kinda like out of sight.
I would be glad to email photos direct to you from my phone; have not mastered loading them on this site.
PM me if you want me to...
I agree with gimpyrobb, try adjusting the sound with the screw on the back. I actually took mine apart, cleaned them completely, sprayed some WD-40 on the diaphram, reassembled them and "played" with the adjustment until I got the sound I wanted.

Sounds like a perfect scheme for the doors. I mounted a toolbox from a 5 ton on the drivers side to mimic the fuel tank on the passenger side; don't know what I'd do without it.
I run 14x20's on my bobber [48"] and when on the interstate the deuce "settles in" at about 60 + mph. A 300 mile trip that I have made a couple of times took a few minutes short of 5 hours. [speedometer is about 20% off--says I am running 50 +]
I drive carefully and TRY to anticipate the idiots...
I have the same winch mounted behind my front bumper [with a 6" frame extention] with the fairlead mounted below the "notch" in the bumper in non-winch position. I have never even spooled it out; but it's good to know I have it if I need it!
It is a great winch that I picked up one night on...
Top is looking good; I know you don't want rain to hinder your progress, but some of us NEED RAIN very badly!
It's been hotter than hot and drier than dry down South this summer.
