    Key and light install

    Finally got a chance to install a light and keyed ignition on the mule. Been wanting the light for awhile now and wanted to keep it fairly out of the way. I had a light housing and just got the 12 volt replacement of the 24 volt bulb. The key is nice for a little extra security and convenience.

    Bumper mounted vise

    So I have been thinking about the usefulness of a vise on the deuce for awhile now and then boom I finally found one! Installation was a snap and I didnt add much nose weight to the truck. Like they always say "its not the size the counts it's how you use it"

    Mule in the snow

    Took the mule out for a couple loops around the house. They go good straight but take a little more room for the turns. Good fun!

    Joined the MKT elite

    Well I decided to go ahead and purchase an MKT 90. Ive watched some guys with them ( including my Dad ) and decided I wanted to get one.

    M35a3 trans troubles

    I've searched through some old posts stuff like that and havent had any luck finding answers to my strange problem. The trans was working fine now for some reason all forward gears and neutral make the truck creep backwards. Its like half speed of normal reverse which seems to be working ok. Any...

    6TL battery acid capacity

    I have a couple brand new 6TL batteries that are dry. I plan on putting them in the deuce. I was wondering if anyone knows how much acid it takes to fill one. Thanks for any info.

    Battery location

    Was trying to think of the best way to mount a battery under the bed of the mule. I wanted to try to avoid drilling thru the bed. I've seen some with the mounting off the chassis tube. Any thoughts and better yet any pics would be great.

    A5 bed on an A4

    Just wondering if a A5 bed will go on an A4. The bed has some typical pitting on the magnesium bed and I was thinking of doing a switch to the aluminum bed. I have not seen a A5 in person to see if all the hatch placement is in the same place or not. Has anyone done a swap like this before?

    New mule owner

    Picked up a nice 1968 M274A4 mule a couple weeks ago. Just needs a little TLC to be 100%. I already removed the engine guard and with a little heat was able to get it straightened out pretty good. I have all the rails and data plates and plan on getting the correct bed bolts if I can find them...

    Unloading the 250 shelter with big toys

    Needed to use the landscape trailer for another project so had to get it unloaded. Needless to say its nice to have a friend with a logging business and the bonus is he's got the MV bug to. I was fortunate enough to score a near new 116a3 trailer at the recent wacky auction through GL so once I...

    M152cdn saved from the scrapper

    I found this truck thru a friend and was told it might go to the scrapper. So I proceeded right after work that day to look at it and then went home to do some research. Once I realized what it was and that there was only 1038 ever made I knew what I had to do. The seller was a good guy so it...

    Rubber around the air tanks

    I removed my old air tanks from the deuce today due to a leak and when I seperated them 1 air tank was half corroded to the bracket. I cleaned and painted the air tank bracket and hold downs and was thinking about putting rubber strips or something similar to prevent metal on metal contact. Just...

    small rust hole in air tank

    I found a small air leak on my deuce which turned out to be the result of dirt and other garbage sitting on top of the bracket that holds the air tanks in place. I guess over time moisture could corrode the exterior of the tank. The hold down bolts were buried in dirt. Not a common place that...
