Brief History

The M 274 is officially known as the Army Mule or Mechanical Mule. It was developed out of a requirement for an infantry ammunition. light cargo. personnel. and weapons carrier. It was adopted for service in 1957 and used with the US Army. Marine Corps. and to limited extent with the Navy. Seabees and Air Force. The first models. the M 274 and the M 274 A 1. had a four cylinder horizontally opposed. air cooled Willys engines. The later models. the M 274 A 2. M 274 A 3. M 274 A 4. and M 274 A 5 have a two cylinder. horizontally opposed air cooled military standard engine. The M 274 A 5 has an aluminum platform while the other versions are constructed of magnesium alloy.

The M 274 consists of a platform mounted on two drop axles with four wheels.

The engine is rear mounted. It has no suspension system other than low pressure tires. All models are equipped with full time four-time four wheel drive. two speed transfercase. and a three forward and one reverse speed transmission. A quick change mechanism allows for either two- or four-wheel steering on the M 274. A 1. A 2. A 3. and A 4 models. The mule is equipped with a cargo retaining set of rails can be raised to accommodate the payload or lowered for shipping. storage. or flat bed operations. The seat (which can be adjusted to two positions on all models except the M 274 and A 3) and the foot rest can be detached and stowed underneath the platform for air transport.
