If you look at TM 5 2420-224-34 on Page 617 / (15/65), you will notice that it lists the spacers as packing. I don't remember the details when I assembled mine, but it appears that the spacers go under the cover without any other packing or gasket. I would surmise that the sealing occurs...

Good news! The Mule runs and drive great. This is the first Mule I've driven with 4-wheel steer. At slow speeds, no problems. However, at high speed on the road, the Mule is really squirrelly while driving. The steering becomes super-sensitive. I don't know if this is common or not. The...

In my case it was definitely a carburetor problem. That line was clear. I purchased an NOS carburetor on Ebay and installed it today. The engine started right up and runs great. No more fuel pouring out of the carburetor. I still haven't driven it - that comes tomorrow. I do still have...

I would double-check the A-coded wires behind the fuse blocks. I had similar issues. Do your fuse blocks have the paper labels that identify the circuits? Mine has them, but I saw another FLU419 where they were missing. If yours are missing, let me know and I'll send you copies.

Are you sure the ticking sound is from the engine and not from the transmission? Do you hear the ticking while the engine is running, but the truck is stopped? I recovered an M35A2 from Fort Indiantown Gap, PA to North Georgia, years ago. The whole way home I heard a distinct ticking while in...

I knew he was ill, but I didn't know he was that ill. He was a very good friend of mine and he will be deeply missed. He helped me on several projects and I helped him. Rest in peace. Condolences to his family.

I've sanded down on other MVs and obtained the information. It appears that the original paint was stripped off when repainted by the museum that owned it. Unfortunately, the guy that was responsible for it has passed away. Has anyone ever seen a data plate on an A5 that didn't reference the...

I just purchased a Mule from an auction at a private museum. It has a platform without the access panel convert from 2 to 4-wheel steering. It has full-time 4-wheel steering without provision to change to 2-wheel steering. It is in excellent condition but hasn't been run in many years. The...

While in the Army, I saw an M35A2 multifuel engine run away. We were in the mess hall eating lunch when the engine, which was idling, started increasing RPM. The RPM increased very slowly at first and then really took off. The engine disintegrated virtually completely. Luckily, no one was...

You mentioned that you let the engine idle down to cool it. You can do real damage if you idle the engine on either an MEP002A or an MEP003A gen set. You should never ever let one idle. Shut it down at full speed / 60 Hz.

That's the first thing I would suspect. Not that hard to replace. EI has the new ones.

I had an almost identical problem with my M35A3 years ago. I replaced the governor and it cured the problem. One side note is that the new governor had plugs installed in ports that the original governor had left open. I plumbed the new governor to match the old governor plumbing. I haven't...

I'm still in the middle of replacing the head on my compressor. I removed the old head with the wheel still in place which was not a difficult job. However, the new head I received from Estonia came with a much thicker head gasket and additionally a gasket to go between the cylinder and engine...

It fit very easily. However, loading the Mule backwards with the basket out the back, the tailgate wouldn't close.

I appreciate the feedback. I'm picking up the Mule in the morning. I'll let everyone know the results in case someone else is in the same position.

Will an M274A2 mule fit inside a 2010 Ford F250 with an 8-foot bed? The distance between the wheel wells is 49.9 inches. The specs on the Mule have the width at 50 inches, but I don't know if the distance between the outer side of the Mule wheels is 50-inches or some other part of the mule...

I would suspect that you have a bad coil. Loss of spark after the coil warms up is a classic coil failure. You mentioned that it wouldn't even fire with starting fluid and that is a dead giveaway. Try to find a new U.S. made coil. The Chinese ones are junk.

No, the inlet tube wasn't completely closed, only about 50% closed off. It was obvious that the damage to the tube occurred years ago, likely when the engine was removed while the Army still had it. There was heavy grease and dirt all over the tube where the damage occurred, and no sign that...

I pulled the outlet tube from the compressor. Zero air coming out, so I pulled the head. Obviously, the valve is bad. I ordered a new head complete with both valves. The cylinder bore looked perfect, so I didn't pull the piston. I also noticed that the inlet tube was smashed almost closed...
