Each M274 A5 Mule is personally driven by the President of   
Mechanical Mules of America, Inc. on a test course.
After his approval, it is checked again by our head mechanic.
Then, the vehicle is re-painted.
New upholstery and data plates are added.
It is then ready for shipment.

Each M274 A5 Mule which enters our
restoration shop is guaranteed to follow
a specific sequence of rigorous
inspections, ruled by a 10-Page Checklist.
Below is a partial list.
The actual inspection includes much more!
