    A little more done on the unit. Added the data plates, decals and a deck mat. Will have to do a final trim on the mat in a few weeks after it lays down all the way. Every time I take some pics I see more spots I have missed on the paint job. Not a problem as the little 4oz. HVLP HF gun is a...

    Mule rebuild

    I picked up a 1968 Bayfield M274A5 with a parts engine included on the 1st of May. Did not want any more projects but the price was right so I am in the middle of another project. It is in pretty good shape as far as old mules go. Took deck off to make for easy access. Missing some expensive...
