I do not know that. Would have to measure both mules I guess.

I got the mule tires from John Emery. They were around $110 or so I think. He had a special at the Iola event this summer.

PB......Some Benning paint job trivia........ Benning has a history of jeeps being procured by one branch of service and then transferred to another. In 1964-65 we at the 2ID TACP had all of our radio jeeps (MRC 108 type) procured by the Marines. We had M38A1s and a couple of M151s also and...

Jim I have a NOS GI light switch and will swap with you if you want. I think the real GI switches are a better unit. For my resto of the M37 I have a switch like yours will do fine. Give me a call if you want to use the switch I have. It would give us a reason to do the Cheyenne trip.......

Pretty much done with the trailer. Still need to add the USMC markings and add the wiring harness. Then it is done as far as I am concerned. The new old stock tires and rims were fun to mount as the tires had been stored inside, but one was a 1965 and the other was a 1968 date of MFG.. Those...

The fenders are new stuff. Added some 14 ga. to the inside of the fender between the fender and the frame. Finding a fender that was wide enough was a little difficult. Got them here...

Yep my logic also Clinto. Hate to have to monkey around when it comes time to hook up to the towing vehicle.

Here is a M116 that I had in the back yard and its modification into a mule hauler. As with most all improvised adaptations I have used what I had in the iron pile and what I could buy cheaply. Going with 10-32 volt LED lighting so it can be pulled with my M37 or civy pickup. Will add the...

Very nice looking unit.

A little more done on the unit. Added the data plates, decals and a deck mat. Will have to do a final trim on the mat in a few weeks after it lays down all the way. Every time I take some pics I see more spots I have missed on the paint job. Not a problem as the little 4oz. HVLP HF gun is a...

Well a little farther on with the mule restore. Got the fuel lines done. Used soft copper for the return line just cause it is easier to work. Used steel brake line for the main fuel line to the carb.. Took a while to find a 1/8 inch flare that was not very expensive as most good flares like...

Looks complete and nice. John Emery is the to go guy with all the parts/seats etc. you will ever need.

The pit is nice. It has air and electric in it. The older I get the more I like the pit. Have a 30 gallon roll around barrel with a vertical adjustable drain pan attached to it.

Moving on...........Got the chassis all cleaned up an painted. Sure is a pain cleaning up the axles etc. Got back from Cheyenne with the blasted deck and wheel/rims on last Sunday. Painted the underside deck, basket and chassis on Tuesday. Painted the top deck and reassembled most of the...

Have the chassis all cleaned up and sort of primed. I use the rust-oleum 279175 deep forest green rattle can as a sort of half-fast primer. Easy to use and just a light coat lets me know what the final Marine semi gloss will look like. It has worked for me on most all of my resto's. Just...

Jim got a start on the blasting of the deck and rims. But got rained out. Looks like it will do the job of cleaning up the old deck. You can see that at sometime the support rod mount for the steering column got ripped out and someone moved the mount over one rib. There will be a small plate...

I picked up a 1968 Bayfield M274A5 with a parts engine included on the 1st of May. Did not want any more projects but the price was right so I am in the middle of another project. It is in pretty good shape as far as old mules go. Took deck off to make for easy access. Missing some expensive...

Good deal. I will have the mule deck and its 4 wheels/rims ready to go back with you for sand blasting. When the blasting is done give me a shout and Carol and I will make the trip to Cheyenne to pick the stuff up. As mentioned we need to figure out a way to transport the 1957 deuce down to...

Good deal. Thanks. If you have any other M37 stuff you do not need drag it up also. Have decided to replace all the gauges in the dash with new Packard ones. I need to look but I think I have a complete set somewhere around here. Will add the turn signal stuff, I know I have a NOS lever...

Thanks for the offer. I am going to just make this unit a driver unit to run around the national forest. It will look good but will not be totally correct. I do not cobble stuff up so if down the line someone wants to do a correct restoration it will be an easy fix. I will however give the...
