I finally got a mule.

My dad and I are rebuilding a recoilless rifle and needed something to mount it on, well today my father and I went to the ride through history show in Alliance, OH.

This was my dads first show, which he seemed to enjoy for a lot of reasons.

Well there was a couple mules sitting there he was looking over. A guy standing beside us started talking to us about mules and says there is a couple over there on a trailer. so of course we change directions and head over there (we had just got to the show).

Sure enough my thought was correct it was David Kelone. had an ugly green one, and one that was an olive drab/black/blue/yellow color. After talking with him for a while, talking back and forth, dad decided he needed to go home and get his check book and my step brother and his truck to haul it home.

My dad aught all kinds of heck when he brought the RR home, just hate to hear what all he is getting now.

Doesn't look like there is much wrong with this machine, was told it needs bearings (now have to search how to replace those), has a hole in the deck, no data plates, but they are going to be shipped to us next week.

What is it with me and truck during the month of Sept? My deuce was delivered last Sept, now this.:driver:


Can this guy go any higher? :jumpin::jumpin::jumpin::jumpin:

As you can see in the pics, we also picked up a spare motor. Just couldn't argue about the price too much. Nothing seems wrong with the motor in it now, but just in case we might need it later.

We were happy we didn't have to travel all over the earth to get one.

Naw, I think I will skip on the HEMTT for a while, think a tank or weasel will be next :razz:

Nope not any more, but thanks for being willing to do that for me.

Does anyone have an electronic copy of the manuals? Need to find out how to do those bearings, plus everything else on this.

Many/most basic repair procedures have been well documented on the G503 site.

These things are SO much fun! I got my mule in the spring and never crank my Honda 4 wheeler any more. These are twice the fun and 4 times as usual! You will love it!
I got several of the manuals in PDF form from "Google Books" (books.google.com)
They are not all there but at least 3 are there

I was happy we dealt with him. Had been looking at mules all over, and just happened to find him close, so that saved a bunch in picking it up/ shipping.

Never drover a mule before, and cant wait til the parts come in for us to fix it and run it around.

Dave is a great guy to know, but so is Bill Watson in Greensboro NC--google Bill Watson Mules--but call him by phone, he has EVERYTHING, but no real website to show it.

I second, Bill Watson for mule parts and mule HELP, he is a great guy to get parts from.
One of the few, Frank USMC RET
PS, Gunboy, does your mule have the mount bracket under the bed for the 106?
