    Is it time yet to have that discussion? Hmmwv discrimination.

    I have never had a problem registering MV's in NYS at my county DMV office . I even got my M35A3 registered as a 1971 rebuilt as it should be not a 1992 as stated on the GL paperwork . Remember one thing in NYS land the local DMV's are county and DMV itself is state , which sets the rules that...

    Calling on all Michigan Historic Military Vehicle Owners

    Hemming's has a article on their website today about the governors veto of the military vehicle registration bill . After reading the article all I can add is what a mess for military vehicle owners in Michigan . Talk about over reach by the state . One reason given was MV's don't have a 17...

    Mule not starting

    Look in the starter hole with a light and you should be able to see if the ring gear is good or if the teeth are damaged in anyway . For the starter to not engage it would have to have some major damage , missing ring gear teeth . You should be able to push start it , but that gets old after a...

    Mule not starting

    Let me ask this . is the starter not engaging the flywheel ?? if so sounds like a bad starter , or wrong starter . How are you jumping the starter ? did you jump it at the starter solenoid ??? could also be a bad flywheel ring gear . That could be a bigger issue .
