I thought I would pass this on to you folks here, as I cannot afford it- BUT I WOULD LOVE to get my hands on this......
If someone's interested in this, let me know if I can help.
Military Vehicle #M24 A5
Sometimes referred to as a "Mule" this is a full time four wheel drive, ½ ton rated, utility vehicle. These machines were typically used as ammunition carriers in Viet Nam. We've had two of these machines for at least 15 years and now we're selling one of them. Mules are great vehicles for elk hunting, deer hunting or working around the farm. They will go just about anywhere and we've never seen them get stuck in the mud. If you're a collector of military vehicles or you need a specialized or unique ATV for work or play this is the perfect machine. It has High/Low range with three forward gears and reverse, 17HP gasoline engine, all aluminum frame and body with a center mount access for your 50cal, M60 or 40mm canon (if you live in a bad part of town). This Mule has a dent on the gas tank and could use a new paint job, but it runs good, has high ground clearance, forges deep water and all parts are still available if you're planning to do a full restore or need spares. We just put a brand new seat on it, the tires hold air, but are old, cracked and will eventually need replaced. The ride is a little rough because of the solid suspension and the turning radius is quite large, but it will get you where you're going. We have the original side-rails and they will be included with the Mule.
Now, consider this. . . you're going to need some muscles to operate this machine. This thing is all original and doesn't have power steering or electric start. The engine starts via "pull-start" like a lawn mower or you can "roll-start" it, if you had the foresight to park it on a hill. There is a conversion kit available to make it an electric start, which you'll probably want to consider because it really sucks if the engine doesn't crank up in the first couple of pulls.
It's been sitting for a while, so you'll want to go through the oils and lubricants before you put it to work, but it will start right up and you can drive it around if you're interested. We have copies of the parts/maintenance manuals and we will make you a copy to go with the machine when you take it home. We've actually loaded this mule in the back of a full size pickup, but it's a tight squeeze. . . best to bring a trailer when you come get it. If you have any questions call Russ at (505)269-four-nine-three-eight.
