FROM OUR PRESIDENT

 

Dear Mule Owner or Potential Mule Owner,

How would you like being among the first civilians to own one of our M274 A5s?
You
can own a piece of American History!

The M274 A5 has been going up in value and is becoming a desirable collectable and a worthwhile investment, as the supply has been shrinking, and the demand has been increasing.
In fact, it is estimated that it would cost close to $50,000 to build an exact replica of a Mechanical Mule today!

As we have been upgrading our manufacturing and restoration facilities, our latest tools and machinery allow us to restore each vehicle to beautiful craftsmanship.

We are committed to our customers' satisfaction and we have become aware of the necessity for us to stock
more spare parts.
Therefore, we have been on a quest for mule parts all across America. We have searched them, found them and purchased them.
Our extensive Parts Inventory has multiplied. Our parts are kept on hand only to serve you better and faster.

In addition, we have been listening to our customers' needs and wishes, and we are developing some brand new and exciting accessories. Some of them are currently being designed and tested, and some of them are soon to be released.

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to assert our dedication to our customers.
We are very proud and honored to serve you, and we remain at your disposal for your further mule needs.

Best regards,

Terry Markarian, President
Mechanical Mules of America, Inc.

 

 

 


 


OUR MISSION

We at Mechanical Mules of America, Inc. rebuild M274 Military Mules. We believe that we are the only full time military mule rebuilding facility left in the world.

Our mules are complete mules as released by USMC. They are not created out of used parts and they are very low hour mules.

Our mules were put into "moth ball" by the Military. Therefore, when you buy a Military Mule from us, you are its first civilian owner.

In our facilities located in Hamilton, Montana we take each machine out of "moth ball":  we unseal the previously sealed openings, we inspect and we disassemble each machine to determine its needs.
Each engine is removed from the mule and installed on a test stand, where it is checked. A new carburetor and a fuel pump are installed on each and every engine, as well as any other necessary parts needed to bring the mule to its original optimal performance.

We then transfer the mule to our rotisserie
, we replace any questionable parts and we install a 12V electric system with starter, alternator, battery and lights (front and rear) to create a reconditioned unit that will give you dependable service.

Please read more about our very comprehensive 10  page Check List  to better understand what our customers get when they purchase a M274 A5 Military Mule from us.
