You will not get a 106rr into Canada, good luck finding one here.
Depending on the level of restoration done, it is not hard to get up to those numbers.
I imagine when mine is done it will be in the $10,000 range but it will be a total overhaul with all NOS parts.

Default mines is doing ok for now

As of right now mine is doing ok, it has about 10 hours on it since being completely overhauled, has one small leak in the PS front Knuckle
but otherwise all is well and working good, it is a M274 a5 with 4 wheel Steer, and pull start, regular tires and a army paint scheme.

hope you can see those by clicking on them, should give you a Idea.
Has new Jugs Pistons, all gears checked and new or good parts, New Engine Guard and gas tank, all primed and painted etc. (details can
be given and show on photos if needed for those interested), lots more done but not listed.

They are a great piece of kit, and when I drive it I tend to smile a lot, so does my son who has now learned to shift because of it.

Default Mule at Coe Hill

Carolle and I will be bringing our Mule to Coe Hill this weekend, we will bring it up in the back of our M1009. Rides will be offered. We installed a second seat on the Mule, beside the driver to give rides and to park my butt while Carolle drives.
We took the rear seat from an Iltis welded it to a piece of flat stock and the flat stock is bolted to the side rails using existing holes. It can be removed in a minute, the side rail also doubles as a panic hold bar.

Default for the curious...

here is the photos for those interested...






any questions let me know, I will have a rubber (Stall Matting) Mat covering
the deck at future events to make it a little easier to protect the deck surface.
