Regress x 2
So The MG runs great when the engine is warm. But as I found out this afternoon. It won't run at all if you don't let it warm up first. I guess that is a bit of a chicken and the egg thing. Any suggestions on how to get the engine warmed up with out actually running it?

Regress
Found a new tranny mount in town for the Saginaw. The Mule went back up on blocks for the one man procedure and I had'er wrappen up in about a 1/2 hour. This rubber shockmounted piece keeps the tranny backend from skooting back and forth, forward and back. When they're worn out like this...
they don't work so good. Put the new one in and WOW....no difference. The thing still shakes, jerks and jolts. I guess he's just proud to be a Mule.
Price of mount $7.23 + GsT (gotTA Love a MuLE)

Progress
Adjusted the timing today and the knocking has pretty much dissapeared. The MG is running smoother and accelerates nicely so I am stoked. Still have cold start issues and running on problems but at least there has been a change for the better!

Snappin Pix
So I don't know if Dale will survive to two builds I've got in mind for the winter. There may be a lot of scavenged parts coming from him and I think I outta get some lasting memories while he's still around. So who's up for a photo shoot? Bring yer ride and we'll shoot it too. I'm gonna need some crew cuz I got a few locations and some road shots in mind. I need a driver (car), a second camera person (for road shots), gutzy riders and a fluffer. Who's in?

Stone Cold Mule
Found this this morning...
Bad Ass
A couple from Montana were out riding on the range, he with his rifle and she (fortunately) with her camera. Their dogs always followed them, but on this occasion a Mountain Lion decided that he wanted to stalk the dogs (you'll see the dogs in the background watching). Very, very bad decision...
The hunter got off the mule with his rifle and decided to shoot in the air to scare away the lion, but before he could get off a shot the lion charged in and decided he wanted a piece of those dogs. With that, the mule took off and decided he wanted a piece of that lion. That's when all hell broke loose... for the lion.
As the lion approached the dogs the mule snatched him up by the tail and started whirling him around. Banging its head on the ground on every pass. Then he dropped it, stomped on it and held it to the ground by the throat. The mule then got down on his knees and bit the thing all over a couple of dozen times to make sure it was dead, than whipped it into the air again, walked back over to the couple (that were stunned in silence) and stood there ready to continue his ride... as if nothing had just happened.
Fortunately even though the hunter didn't get off a shot, his wife got off these 4...

The cat is still alive here and trying to fight back.
The mule stomped the cat, pinned it to the ground, and bit the neck out several times.
The cat was dead by now. For good measure the mule picked up the cat, whipped it into the air and then stomped it again for good measure
