After a pass it has no problem as long as I stay in the tracks but it really could use a more paddle type tire to digg thru it easier.

I'm just happy the 4WD is up and working.(for now)

I still have to tinker with the carb but it is running even better than before just seems like the idle is just a tad to low.

last post just over a year ago.

Thanks for the good report, TC. I'm glad the mule is running well for you!

It is certainly nice to have you back; please don't wait another year for your next post!

I'd love to see some video of that Mule in action.

I'll see if I can pry my wife out of bed today to get a quick vid on her digital camera.(she's not bed ridden she's just a bit lazy :roll: )

It really needs a good set of combination tires with some paddles / some knobbies.

The more I work on it the more I want to strip it down and paint it before it rusts away.

I think once I get some more of my projects done and a new shed built out back I'll tear the mule all apart and renew the whole thing but it's going to be a couple more years yet.

She never did want to do the winter vid but we did a quickie seat recover so no more wetbutt.

That thing is really rusty and I have been bugging her to get the paperwork from her sister so we can have proof of ownership.

Sadly I had to sell it because with the way things are here there was just no way I could have even started working on that for another few years so I sold it.

If things turn around I'll look for another but with this debt hanging over us and the wife not working the money just isnt there.

I had to sell my tracker as well just to have money to pay off the trailblazer and I'm in the process of selling the wifes LF200gy-5 hopefully it will be sold tonight.(plan on keeping mine for now)

I need to modify my utility trailer or somehow trade up to a bigger one so we can take the mule upnorth and run around the woods in it.
