Been waiting just over a year for my MMA mule to be completed. That would be a great Christmas if she's actually done before the 25th this year!

Didn't hurt my feelings at all Dave, and MERRY CHRISTMAS to you too. Hopefully a lot of this political correctness crap will pass away, the vast majority of folks celebrate Christmas, yet we are being taught that our interests are not important just so 1% or so with an 'agenda' feel included. If someone wishes me happy Kwanzaa for instance, I don't feel the least insulted, and will wish them a happy one back. This secularism is running amok isn't it?

Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year.
Very little mule work going on here, a few fuel pump conversions and services. Main project now is a 1964 CJ3B that I purchased last summer.
Looks like I will be getting ANOTHER right knee replacement sometime after the first of the year.

Well Merry Christmas to you Chuck, and thanks for the great photos of your projects. I especially like the third member holding adaptor you made for your engine stand. I hope your upcoming surgery goes well and you have a good outcome. Before you know it you will be your own bionic man. :wink:

I saw a photo of that adapter and was going to make one, but when I checked the price through Summit Racing, I could buy it cheaper than I could make it! Sure makes it easier for one guy to work on the differential, especially when setting the pre-load, back-lash, etc.

I gotta find a doctor that gives a better warranty, this knee didn't even last 6 years!

Merry belated Christmas to all!
We've been busy finishing our 4-'58 M274. Then we decided to dig into our 10-'64 M274A1..... That one is coming down the home stretch; side rails to paint this week & order a set of markings...
