The Mule

[rwdriver]

it started out life as an 84 jetta diesel with a rear axle being held on by a cable

 

then had an encounter with a sawzall 



then had a third leg installed



some finishing touches, and the mule is born complete with am/fm radio, static throttle(cruise control), chalkboard hood, and a 1200 watt power inverter is soon to be installed













The Mule: small and ugly, but strong











Governor modded,fuel screw turned WAY in, and intake modded. it RIPS!

Epic
are you going to spring for some suspension at the 3rd wheel?
Also a motorcycle sprocket on a starter motor might be cool if you find yourself getting stuck.

Very cool!!   You need a brake on that back wheel for snow!

Awesome, and I need to find one of those Jetta Diesel badges for the back of my MK3.

Yeah and you could do like a motorcycle wheel and have a dual caliper setup, so you don't have to plug up anything on the master cylinder, just use it as-is

[rwdriver]

It drives kinda funny. all the weight is over the front wheels, so it wont fishtail. you can pick uip the back end with one hand, so you have to go easy on the brakes or itèll tip over

[trav1856]

so ya need a wheelie bar.....on the front haha

Might need some more utensils on the back...maybe even a 3pt hitch hehe

[rwdriver]

hahaha that thing jumps from a stop with no weight on it! you didn't lose hardly any RPM when you took off

So what is the functional purpose of this thing?

[rwdriver]

I use it around the farm, for towing things, transportation, power and sound
