Here are the pictures of the new mule hauler. It looks like all they need to do is install the LED lights and wire up the electric brakes. The tongue mounted storage box lid is even with the deck and has room for chains and tie downs. A well known mule hauler reccomended a wrap around rub...
I decided to dump the used snow mobile trailer and have an aluminum trailer made. I found a local manufacturer Lanchester trailers about 15 miles from the house. I went with a 20' long deck over trailer. Semi custom with an under deck spare tire and below deck ramp storage. The trailer is all...
Looking to change the rims on my modified 116 mule hauler. I would like to change the rims and tires to a smaller diameter that will still fit the stock bolt patern. I want to lower the lunette height when connected to my f150 pickup. Any suggestions?

The latest mule project that is now running is a TOW missile system mounted on a mule. Eye witness accounts confirmed they were in Lebanon at the time those bastards attacked our Marines while they slept. There are also pictures of mules with the TOW system on the net. Back to the project, I am...

I received delivery of another project mule. it is mainly complete and needs a healthy dose of TLC. This mule was upgraded to the 2 cylinder motor conversion in 1966. The original magnesium deck is in decent shape. Lots of rusted fastners and peeling paint. This mule will be restored to...
