Kawasaki Mule 1000
Hey everyone, I have a first year model Kawasaki Mule1000 project that I just do not have time to work on. As stated, it is the first year produced; I think 1988 or maybe 1989 (if anyone knows for sure, feel free to update this). It was running about a year and a half ago, but it needed the carbs torn down, cleaned up and put back together. I took it on with the idea of either putting in a “real” Kawasaki motor 650F (the Mule motor is based on the motorcycle 650) or a B&S Vanguard, but I just do not have the time to do any of this. So here are some details.
The Good – steering, brakes, upholstery bed, and frame are all good. Also, it comes with the complete owner's / service manual. The Bad – needs new tires all around, needs battery, engine currently not running, lights will need to be redone. I would like to get $500 for it as I could part it out for that much. I live a little over an hour WNW of Houston Tx. PM me with any questions. John |

Re: Kawasaki Mule 1000
Big correction, this engine is based on the Kawasaki 450F engine, NOT a 650 (I do not know where that came from, sorry). John

Re: Kawasaki Mule 1000
Just picked up by the guy I work for out of Houston. Headed to set in his garage for a couple weeks and then heading home too Missouri to become my next project.
Thanks again John for all the patience and answers to my questions. |

Re: Kawasaki Mule 1000
Ray, I've not really been looking for another project. But, I have wanted something with both a locking differential and independent rear suspension.
While I know that of all the big name UTV's the Mule isn't the fastest or eye catching but a good solid vehicle. It will be perfect for the type things I will do with it. I'm looking forward to getting it here and doing some work on it. I already have some ideas of where to start just from the descriptions of it. Once I get it home and actually get started on it, I'll start it's own thread. |

Re: Kawasaki Mule 1000
I would have loved to have something like that when I had 2.2 acres of land in VA and heated with wood.There is a nearby animal vet that has a weekend home here on the island that drives a mule that is the same color.
