Thanks mulman7. I have ordered the gear and adapter plate and am waiting their arrival. If I mess something up, I will let you know and grab a starter. I'm also going to need a magneto and plug wires in the future. I will post some pics with any questions before modification of the starter...

I recently purchased a mule (A4 according to the data plate) without a starter on it. I am planning on putting an electric starter on it and planned on using a modified VW starter I believe. Do you have to cut the old gear off the starter before you weld the new one on or do you use spacers to...

Will do. I just went through the TM's for the info and printed it out.

Okay, thanks, I will give it a try and let you know. It will probably be after the Holidays. You guys are truly amazing. Have a safe and joyful holiday season!!

Probably not. would that cause such a big difference in pedal travel?

Just the wheel cylinders and shoes all around. Pedal pump bleed on the brakes

I have done my searches and can't quite find an answer. I just recently had the brakes fixed and I had a couple bad wheel cylinders. Now I have great pedal when I have no air pressure but the pedal goes to the floor when the air is working. I can still get them to lock up when the air is on...

Well I have to thank you guys again and wish I would have thought of it on my own but if you throw the jumper cable on it just might fire right up. I did learn how to change the smart start box though. Not a bad job at all. Now to do research on the ever running fan before I start a new...

I think they are fine. I was driving it turned it off and then had this problem maybe an hour later. One strange thing it did when I was driving it, the fan came on when I started it and did not turn off until I was about home, (5 miles or so.) The engine was not warm when it started up and...

Well, it is not the box. I have put three on the wounded girl and flashes the "wait" light but nothing when you hit the switch and ticking from the box. I put the original box in the other HMWWV and it operated fine. So where should I look next?

Okay, here is another question, it currently has the smart start system box. It flashes the wait light and does nothing but tick when you hit the start switch. The gas guage also slowly goes down when you hit the start switch. I swapped the box out for a power box from a different hmmwv, all...

Ted, what do you mean "read sticky above"? Thanks for the info.

is the box hard to change? Is there a way to check which one it is? I have another newer unit that has a blown engine so I do have access to parts. It has the 6.5 instead of th 6.2 does that make a difference on the box or plugs?

I drove the sheriff's office HMMWV today and it seemed to run fine. Got home and shut it off. Went back outside later to run uptown and hit the switch. It turned over about one time and then just started ticking. The ticking is coming from the smart start box and the wait light flashes. Any...
