I just had 2 tires fixed on my truck. Drove over to the truck tire service place. The tires were in the rear. One on the outside and the other on the inside. They took them off and put new tubes in them for $84 bucks. I thought that was a good deal. They worked hard at it and they...
Lets get a show of hands. Who will be there?
I plan on being there Friday morning early with the Mule. Thinking about staying over or just driving back for Saturday.
I put a newer set of front tires on the deuce after I removed the rear drive shaft because the front tires were not wearing eavenly. While getting fuel after a 15 mile run on pavement at 55 MPH I checked all the bearing/hubs for heat. They were ok. I put my hand on the front tires and they...
So on the hottest day, today, I decided to address the 90W axle oil leaks on the deuce. Since I removed the rear drive shaft in an effort to prevent front tire scuffing the middle axles started to leak. The lug nuts came off easily with my 1/2" Milwaukee electric impact wrench. The bud nuts...

My injector pump is leaking at the fuel cut off and possibly at the throttle shaft. Are the seals replaceable with out removing the pump and what are the part numbers at NAPA for the seals? Anybody change them yet?
Charlie, If you time the your mule using the timing marks and it starts you are fine. In my case it would not start so we had to skip one tooth to get it to start and then we fine tuned by rotating the magneto. I hope this helps. Next months issue of MVM should have an article on changing...
My horn started to have a mind of its own with respect to working when I mashed the button. I checked all the connections and looker for frayed wires. Pulled the button from the steering wheel and sanded the spring on both ends and polished up the face of the nut and now it works every time...
In addition to the 3 mules for sale at the National Convention a couple others were on display I took a few pictures. There was an early m274 with a 4 cylinder engine. I also tok some shots of the generator mounting set ups for all to see.
Enjoy!
