Cpl Sprenkle's Mighty Mite parked behind his barracks in 1965

Here is a picture of a mighty mite I parked behind my barracks in 1965. After driving and working on Willys Jeep I thuoght the mite was a piece of junk.
We had to pick up the brand new mites from the rail head and take them to our shop at Lejune to modify them because they put self locking nuts on the axles
But did not reverse thread them. About 8 of 10 we drove most of the way on 3 wheels because they would fall off.
