I saw a photo of a "Mule" once and always wanted one. They were produced before everyone had 4-wheelers. Seems like it would be handy for hauling hay or wood.
I always wanted one as well. They were definitely ahead of their time weren't they.
They regularly failed, and we had to carry them back to camp; one guy at each corner...only One mechanic in Chu Lai could keep them running...I bet he is the best Lawn Mower Engine Mechanic somewhere...Mules were not well thought of in Nam!!
Not too sure about the mule but that sure is in nice 5U you have there.

That is a sweet looking tractor,
Noticed a 44 front pump with a tool bar dozer setup.
Is that factory? Might be a good setup,seems like the hyd would be really RESPONSIVE.
I have one almost the same vintage Late model 5u17959 whats the ser# on yours?
