If we were closer to each other I would heading that way now......unfortunately I'm a long haul away.

The legislature from what I was told was working under dire circumstances this session due to the "Chi-Com Flu" restrictions, they were only going to deal with "emergency situations and health related stuff" to take care of us all with social distance, remote working, etc. The very first thing...

Very forward thinking and correct......it took Colorado 1 year to no loner register historic military vehicles as street legal.....a few guys have managed to dodge the "offroad" lable and keep driving, but I imagine some troll is out there working from his moms garage I type trying to figure out...

Spent the day tinkering on my Goat that has been sitting idle thru the winter. Crawled under the dash (no easy task for a 6-4, 250 (goal weight) guy) to wrestle the winch shaft onto the PTO......where are all the Leprechauns with 8 arms when you need them? Soon to get after the NOS heater...

Warmer weather and less wind has allowed me to get a few items taken care of. Had the wheel wells widened on my M116 trailer and a bunch of holes welded shut. Side rails, old data plates and unused rear winch mount removed from the mule, both almost ready for sand blasting and then new paint...

Not sure about your local laws out there, but in a similar situation in Colorado you can call it a "homemade trailer". You fill out some paperwork stating how you made it; where you bought the parts or had parts, the county assigns you a VIN, you get the VIN signed off by the State Troopers VIN...

I didn't see any special hardware mounted in the gliders or wheel barrows parked around outside of them from al the gear they would have needed to carry their nads around. All that they had to go thru and were going to go thru and oh yeah.....didn't they get a whole $50 a month more???

Is the term "slipping"? Or am I having flashbacks to shoveling the deck the other day?

Many many moons ago I was at 29 Palms and remember when the Marine Corps picked up their first 2 M60's, 2 of them came in on flatbed rail cars just before the weekend so they sat on a spur with a guard detail around them all weekend so nobody would crawl all over them. As far as targets ago...

I know it's an old thread, but I like going back thru all the old posts as there is always something to learn. I have owned my Mule for @ a month now, I also got an M116 trailer as my hauler and am looking for ramps like yours.....yours's looks exactly what I have planned!!

Every time I see anything about 8" artillery I get all misty eyed, I was an 8" artillery guy for a long time after we retubed our 175's to 8"....8" is a beast.

No work done on it yet, but have checked a little more and found out it's a 69' not a 67', I found a helpful group of folks on FB, put me in touch with a gentleman who hooked me up with what parts I was looking for and those parts are starting to arrive. I also located and bought an M116...

The foam is for buoyancy, although there would likely be some insulating value to it. The tractor has a bilge pump to get rid of leakage and is single walled construction and no foam, the carrier (trailer looking thing) does not have a bilge pump and is built of a double wall with the foam...

Greetings, I know it's getting to be an older post and maybe you have it all worked out by now. I just got a mule @ 3 weeks ago and was wondering the same questions. I have an M101 trailer and also a Gama Goat and was considering how I would haul the mule. I settled on getting an M116 trailer...

My nemesis strikes once more, ( the internet ). During another routine killing time search for green machines and other cool things on a cold winter day, I came across a local M274 Mule for sale. As usual, I kept looking, the ad stayed up day after day until the sirens song became too loud and I...

I doubt....just based on looking at mine that had a step on it when I bought it. Looking at pics that have shelters, it looks to me like it would bump up against the shelter when the gate is shut.....I'd do lots of measuring first. Betcha others on here know for sure tho.

I always enjoy coming on here and seeing what guys think about doing in their free time. The talent on here is awesome on how to make it work, what not to forget, stuff like that. A while back someone wanted to bob a duce or 5 ton, then put power to a trailer I believe so it would be an...

Thanks much Glean....good advice and kinda where I was thinking of trying next wiring wise.....hadn't thought about the bulbs being the culprit.....all I need now is some warmer weather and less wind. I've been busy tinkering on the Goat lately and been distracted off of the M715.

So I tried the easy way out, looked in the easy to reach places like under the hood, inside the turn signal switch itself with no joy...installed a NIB solid state turn signal unit. Now I get a left turn blink just like you want, then flip to the right and I get 4 ways flashing. I'm kinda...

Checked the grounds and to be double sure cleaned them up and retightened, nadda. Weird.......gremlins.
