Hold onto your wallet, if Eastern sells mule parts like M35 Duce & Half parts its going to be a costly ride!!

At least it's going somewhere instead of sitting in a field with the piss ants carrying it down in the ground.

While you are probably right at least it will be for sale. I have tried for YEARS to contact David, left messages, and emails with no answer. I never could understand why he would advertise parts, yet didn't seem to want to sell anything.

I am just glad all of those mule parts didn't get thrown out.

I bought my mule rims from dave a little over year ago or so from him and he had box car containers of stuff laying around. I picked them up as I’m only fifty or so miles from him. Actually I also bought the engine cover. He asked me if I ever watched the pickers on t.v. And I said sure. So dave says let’s flip for the prices that we were discussing. I won both flips and saved a few bucks. Dave took it like a man. I would have been whining the whole way home if I lost. At the time, he was looking for some land to buy. Pretty sure he has it by now. Jihn jr

I called Eastern Surplus and the guy who answered said the parts haven't arrived yet, and his best 'guess' is that we should see something on their website this spring.

I have heard from several sources that David's stuff has been picked over pretty well, so will be interesting to see what's left. Trent (TGA) should know, he bought several truck loads of stuff from David a while back.

Speculation,speculation. Just like CNN. Are the Russians involved in this?

Why don’t we all wait and see what becomes available when the dust settles.

Actually, I really don't care as I am pretty much done with mules now. I have enough parts left to support my last mule for the rest of my life, everything else I sold. Good luck to the rest of you.

It will be nice to see that whatever Eastern has bought will at least make it out to market. This is a lot better than being hoarded or left sitting on shelves collecting dust out of the hands of collectors...
