I think '50's or early '60's. but what is the vehicle? I see the gas tank, off road tires, drivers seat, but what about the steer wheel? It's facing the wrong way! That's realy adjustable!.....Frank

Those were a little all purpose mule that went everywhere and did everything. They were even armed with M60s and used for local protection. No armour but could get a fire team on location in a hurry. Carry all your ammo for you too! That would be nice. The steering wheel just moved on an axle out to where you could do what he's doing. M274??? I think? Used from 1956 to the 80s or whenever they ran out of parts.

Yes it is an M274 "Mule". This one is a two wheel steer. They are made in four wheel steer also.

You are correct. It's an M274. They even mounted recoiless rifles on them

I remember the 106 but the one that would rattle would be the .50 cal. I guess they replaced them with the John Deere Gator. They were neat and ahead of their time. They sure got used as a mule! A bit rough to ride on however...
