Hi All,
I was out trying this Mule out and it is one good little 4 wheeler ! It does climb hills great, This is my first real test drive any distance this evening, being such a nice evening I thought I would share some Desert shots of my Mule. Mechanically I have gone through the whole thing...
Hi Jay, Yea, those are hard to find items. I've beem looking for you, don't worry they'll show up ! Still lots of yards to look through up here and we are looking !
Eric..
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...
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...

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...
Thanks Jward1 !
I checked your suggestion and you hit it on the money, the brake is big time locked. It is look'in that I might have it ready for Tower Park now ! I just ordered a new fuel pump for it so we'll see how it go's. Yea, it looks like all the wheel seals are leaking so another task...
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...
