M274 added to the family

Looks great! You bringing it to the desert trip?

How much to they sell for in good running condition? My dad and I wanted a couple but he is gone now and I would still like to get one.

Just an observation: Basket case mules can run $1K - $2K. Motor Pool condition $6K plus. Frame off restoration / museum quality $10K plus.

Something worth considering when "investing" in a Mule. A good ATV may run $10K. What will it be work in 5 years???? Maybe half. A decent mule will probably gain in value not to mention the "Cool" factor. It seems with more being restored the more desirable they become.

Example: A week ago I took my mule to a church cookout to take some kids for a ride. Within 15 minutes I was asked if I would sell it. Had to clean up the drool from the middle aged "kids".

Welcome to the site LTCB I take it you are an ordinance officer now we are called LG for Logistics Corps that kinda rots but it is the way of the Army. Can you post some pictures of your mules they sound very cool as well.

If I ever find one that fits it will come home with me too.

I was thinking the same thing. We are really into ATV's so I know what they cost. I was doing the math and it makes a lot more sense to buy a Mule instead.

Mules are the bomb. Very useful around the house.

I better wait until I get home before I buy one. Knowing ym luck I will find a deal too good to pass up while I am over here.

Thanks for the welcome. Yes, the Ordnance Corps was my home for 28 years until mandatory retirement. Wanted to stay longer but there was this issue about the Congressional statute.

Since you asked, here are my two Mules. The two seater is Jack. He is a Commander model from Mechanical Mules of America. Looks like it came directly from the factory. Too nice to get scratched though. The work-a-day mule is Jenny. She is a motor pool restoration from a fellow here in AL. Runs beautifully but has the dents and dings of her 40 years. Just shows her character. If you are wondering about the names, well, they came from my wife. She claimed Jenny as hers the day I brought her home. (Yes, I can now keep two! )

Very nice.
