An early one. Wonder if it’s a Kaiser Jeep one?
Dave, wish I could, and I am tempted, but this isn’t the time for me to be buying anything. Once I have some property, then I will consider an item like this. Be practical sucks! lol.
Barney: 1) I didn’t know other companies produced the Mule, so that was news to me!
2) I found two other manufacturers, but no information on when who made which variations. Have any insights into that info?

I think Kaiser Jeep had the contract more than once. remember our discussion on 69s production in Canada and how much miltary contracts Toledo had at the time. I’ve seen several but don’t remember the years. Was always told they were earlier ones. A local friend is working on a later Brunswick 4-wheel steer right now and is more up on them. I’ll ask him. I’d have to find it, but I think I have a Kaiser Jeep dealership flier showing these in a civilian model lineup also. It may be just something Jeep printed to show their military lineup though.
Good stuff Barney. Looks like another rabbit hole to explore!
IS THIS MULE STILL FOR SALE? ANY EXTRA PARTS OR TM GO WITH THIS; THANKS
Hi Joe,
It appears to be still available. You’ll need to contact the seller via Facebook and you’ll need a Facebook account to do that:
