Re: Future Mule project
My dad swore by them. I remember him talking about them when I was a kid. He talked about wanting one and found this one. Shame he didn't live long enough to see this one eventually come together.

Re: Future Mule project
I'm sure your restoration will be great and he will be proud! My dad was a WW2 vet, lost him in my early 20's thirty some years ago before I could afford hobbies like this. He would have loved the 151 and if he were alive I would have scored a WW2 jeep just for him. But they are always with us!Bryon wrote:My dad swore by them.

Re: Future Mule project
I still have the M37 that started it for him. Hasn't been started in years but my fiance is wanting to take on getting it going again. At his peak, he had 70 various MVs in various states of disrepair sitting around. He did his best to own every one he could find. It was in the last few years he parted out the worst and sold off some of the better stuff.
Re: Future Mule project
I would never be able to visit you, I would be wanting to bring home all kinds of stuff. I have wanted a M-37 or M-715 for a long time. I am getting to a point where I can't do heavy mechanical work though so they have to be mechanically sound.

Re: Future Mule project
My son got the M715 as his inheritance. I have another M37 I'll be selling that was complete. Someone took a couple parts off of the engine. It was tagged and running. Probably not going to want to look at future pics Rick, I'm not that far away,lol.
Re: Future Mule project
You are too far away for me to drive to in one day. two would be a stretch. I am safe.
