Mechanical Mule - M274

[captw]

Hi Gilles....all M274's except the A5 models were both 2 wheel and 4 wheel steer....the rectangular access panel beside the operator, on all models except the 2WS A5, could be removed to access the lock pin and lock stop on the front axle housing.....with the lock pin removed from the rear steering shaft, the mule would steer both front and rear axles, with the rear steer shaft pinned to the lock stop on the front axle, only the front axle would steer, as referenced in the 1967 dated mule operator's manual....if you go onto the G503 site and go to the M274 area, one of the first topics covered is installing a rear steer kit onto an A5 and at the end of the article it's mention that a stop was still to be fitted to lock out the rear steer shaft.....Wilf

I dod not have a picture of the inside but for exterior pictures go to the threat on hoarding and collecting and go to thread 38, Stuart Hadek took pictures of the ambulance at the Winchester Legion parade. We are asking
$5900 for the M1010. The vehicle was used by the US military and then sold to the Philadelphia police department and it was used as a ambulance or a SWAT vehicle. The truck was maintained by the PD as as a result is in excellent condition. The only thing we noticed was one of the back door has a slight bend, where someone backed into something but the door opens and closes. I will get pictures of the inside today if I have time. Gilles
