- Quick video showing basic features and how to start a M274 a2 Mechanical Mule.
This one is in original condition, it was used by the USMC.
If the lettering is yellow it was used by the USMC.
If the lettering is white it was used by the US Army.
The A1 version had a 4 cyl enging made by Willis but they were plagued with problems so beginning with the A2 thru A5 they had a 2 cyl air cooled Hercules engine.
This is a 1/4 ton 4X4 It is rated to haul more than any of the Jeeps used my the Military.
They were designed by Willis but were manufactured by 4 different manufacturers.
There were 11,240 Mules produced between 1956 and 1970 they were used in Vietnam and into the 1980's they were replaced by the John Deere Gator (POS)

Army mules have always been interesting to me. I see so few.
I just bought one to use around my property, I’ll be posting some videos about it in the near future
I've always wanted a mule. Cool little vehicle.
Ya, I want one too, the price is climbing on these lately.
GOT ONE FOR SALE 12k
I drove one of these in the Marine Corps in 1963-64. Loved it wish I had one for my property now. Actually took it to Viet Nam in 63 loaded and ready for war...What a beast. If you start it in gear it will run over you. Ask me how i know........
Ya I can see how it would run over you. These are great workhorses
Did it have an Aircooled 2-stroke? That would be the simplest, easiest-to-maintain engine for something like that.
Cool vehicle! Thanks for sharing it.
Thanks for watching and for the comment
Need one of these for my cabin in the UP
we have one, and we love it, we live in rural area, still learning about, thanks for sharing, do a video with steering wheel in the front..thanks
Thanks for watching and the comment
Always use a bit of choke when starting. And if it is adjusted properly, the hand throttle should be in the start position.
If the bushings in the direction changing pulley are worn, they GREATLY increase the effort required to pull the starter.
This could probably use a little TLC.
Thanks for the advise.
very entertaining content. i hope to see many more of your videos on various things that interest you. -TrashyTodd

I have been diagnosed with what my Dr described as an extreme case of ADHD
This thing rules

That are pretty cool, who knew driving a flat piece of metal could be so fun
i want one of these so bad
There is a guy in Idaho who bought all of the surplus units from the govt. years ago, he will set it up how you want it and sell you one that hasn't gone to civilian hands yet.
@@RasmussenEquipment unfortunately i don't have the funds right now, but maybe someday. It would be absolutely perfect.
First off I need to win the lotto to buy the property I would need one on and then I would have to buy one.
I hear you, if I had 20 acres I would really need one
Good video. Correction: it’s a 1/2 ton, the Jeep was just under 1/4 ton (short ton).
Thanks, my ADHD seems to get in the way once in a while.
Love to own one, driver/ gunner 106mm Recoiless Rifle on Mule in the Marines
How were they in action? We’re they useful or did you guys dislike them?
@@RasmussenEquipment Every Marine in my unit loved them, they never let us down.
The speed sounds " slow" but in jungle and hills it got around really great. Hey enjoy your Mule!!!
i want one
They are pretty cool.
Next on my list
😎👌
Thank you for the comment
Is it street legal
I don't think I have seen one with plates but in some states you can plate anything with wheels
Quit riding the CLUTCH.
Ya, I'll keep that in mind
