Guess i'd be pissed too.

I want the 106 mm recoilless rifle mule for $28K.
Deer season is coming up. I could hit the deer with a HEAT round and carry the pieces back to camp on the mule!

My father in law paid waaaay over $10,000 for his mule from Mechanical Mules of America. It looked new......but the tires had little to no tread, and it broke down shortly after he got it. It is still down at this time. I would not buy one from them.

I bought an engine from them just to have a spare. Terry will talk your ear off, seems very knowledgeable. I paid a higher price than I should have (should have bought from Bill Watson). He assured me that the engines he sells are gone through, new seals, new gaskets, new carb and fuel pump. Run tested and ready. His picture shows a complete engine ready to drop in.
The carb did have gas in it, so I assume he did what he says. How ever, there was no carb tube, no fuel filter assy. or fuel line to the carb, no fan belt guard, no fan cover and no center shroud. All these parts are shown on the replacement engine picture. I realize if one is replacing an exsisting engine he has all these parts available, but for the price he charges they should be there as the picture shows.

Details
I've been wrenching on M274's for over 12 years, so I know alittle something about them. That being said, I called Terry wanting an A5 engine guard for my ride. We talked M274 for awhile, particulary about the two engine guard styles, I wanted to be clear on what I was ordering. After a long wait my engine guard came. It was the early version. Terry and I agreed there was a miscommunication, but Terry insisted it wasn't on his end. Short story long,
I paid the return shipping fee to get my money back on an engine guard I didn't order, and that turned out to be more expensive that the other sources. So now I have spent $150.00 ($80 initial shipping to me and $70 return shipping) and have NOTHING to show for it. Not a happy camper.
