Built one about a year ago. Funky little thing that has all wheel steering. Old ITC/Ringo kit from the 50s.
I found numerous Mule sites initially, but of the saved sites, only one seems to be active right now: http://www.mechanicalmulesofamerica.com/

Thanks for the help and info guys. Got the kit this morning and for a 50’s kit not too bad (others would cry :-) ).
The engine and dimensions seem to be OK. The rails, guards and a few other items will need replacing. The 106mm RR, bed and other items will need upgrading, but it should look great, hopefully that is.
