"I am trying to reproduce what could be right for the bumper markings in my 1968 M151A2 AM General.
101-327-2 B-7
That would state as:
101st Airborne Division
327 Infantry Regiment
2 battalion
B Company
7 vehicle position within a road march
Could be that statement correct.?"
Sir, you...
Yo 1st Bn! Try Army Jeep Parts in Pa. I was there a couple of months ago and they had the ammo rack/M79 frame (big part). I purchased the spare tire guard from them, don’t know if they have any more. In your travels, I’m looking for the bracket the front wheel of the M79 locks into. Good...
WTB, Building a M151A1C, I have all the parts except three, the magazine box that mounts behind the drivers seat, the bracket that bolts underneath the rear to support the pintle and the locking mount that hold the M79 recoilless mount front wheel. Can anybody help? Thanks in advance!

Thanks , thats what I didn’t want to hear. **** firewall is to close to rear lift ring. And no sir I wasn’t messing with you. Be a one man show when removing a Duce engine ain’t no fun.
Question: is it possible to pull the engine oil pan without completely pulling the engine? Was thinking of removing front mounts, jack shaft, transmission cover. Your thoughts? Thanks
FYI, I have gotten back into Mules after many years of not having one. The late Bill Watson & Leonard Grove were true gentlemen when it came to customer service on mule’s, good parts and fair prices. As Rexman stated with Bill a phone call and the parts were delivered with an invoice...
Attached pictures are from a friend of mine, we were both Paratroopers in the 82nd Airborne Division during the early 70’s. The 82nd Anti-tank platoons had 106mm RR, mainly on M151A1C’s but they also had them mounted on mules. Just before I shipped out to Vietnam, they were always training...
Yes Sir, I checked connections between A3 & S6, everything appears tight and check screws for looseness.
Reference the Governor linkage; there is a correlation between the Hz needle moving with the governor linkage. Yesterday after starting Gen set, initially erratic fluctuation of needle...
Thanks, I know use on codes with other vehicles, I only asked because you mentioned both Part numbers. Kind of answered my own question after reading my post. Again thanks!
ran generator for an hour plus today using 120 AC plug in with different tools. Sometimes the 60 HZ NEEDLE would jerk left...
Chris, Thank you! I just spent about 45 mins looking through the -24P dated Oct 1983 and I cannot find the Frequency Transducer, am I missing something? Don't know if that is the problem just yet, but was getting a jump start on looking for one if that is the problem. Is the transducer in...
I did not check with separate meter! The engine sounded normal however as I adjusted the power control knob to bring the needle back to 60 it would sound like it was below the normal running sound!
Thanks all for recommendation, I will have to get a little local help on this one, I do have an old TS-352 and don't know if that will work or not. If it turns out to be the transducer for Freq meter are they available at a human beings price? Again thanks!!
So the NorthEaster comes through and I fire up the MEP-003 that has done very well through storms since 2012. Just broke 700 + hours. She was working fine set her to 60hz she takes load fine for a day then all of a sudden I start to see either Hz pegget to the high side after readjusting back...
Hey thanks to the guy that Sent PM. I didn't know only M274A5, wide tires & fenders were the only mules that had electric start kits installed by military.
Do any of you mule folks have any official documentation when the military started installing the electric start kits? The last mules I saw beIng used by the Army was early 80's with 101st Abn Air assault div and those were set up as TOW units, wide tires and fenders. Were they electric start...
Reference the question about knobs. The bigger (horizontal) is for traversing, small knob is for free wheeling the traversing by pulling up on knob, (it should snap up). The side (vertical) big wheel is elevating and the knob is for fine tuning (elevation) and firing the spotter (pulled) and...
