M274
MECHANICAL MULE
also known as "Military Mule"
or "Army Mule"
"THE ONLY COMBAT-PROVEN ATV"
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.
