Looks nice Steve. How do these micro pumps compare, price-wise to Leimbach? That's a heck of a chair you have at the workbench?

nate my suggestion is buy the leimbach you have to do a lot to get these to work and they're not much cheaper new the gear sets are around $100.00

hey gotta keep the lab rats comfy while assembling wheels

I think it looks just fine, but we know how this works if your not happy with it than your not going to like it but I think it looks great. If you are painting the bumper black it may not be so noticable. Something like that might look killer on my Granite.

Truthfully i like the way it look's. But if not happy with it why not try to camouflage it, like hook a chain to the front pull hook and then on the top left and right hole's, put a small hanger rod in each hole and wrap your chain from side to side in "U" shape, and it may help to take away from it.

But to me your font bumper really look's great!!!! I Like it!!

Bummer Steve..Every now and then I have an issue with my Cam program .the offsets wont record properly and either part is a little small or pocketing holes are a bit big ..when i can I usually stay with a drill cycle .An fix option for the bummer is you could predrill a 1 /16 backing plate with the smaller holles and attach it to the back side of the bumper..this way you could countersink small bolts into those larger holes ..I like it though ..nice bummper

I got behind a log truck the other day and got the urge to get this guy out last night for a few hrs . I wasn't to keen on keeping the prentice on the back . So I did a lil rearranging . Looks like what we have around here now cept a tag axle where the rear axle is and the tandem slid FWD (might do that yet ) . Since I ran me some extra cylinder parts from the compactor , I started fittin . Still trying to figure how to hide the liembach pump don't mind the bench half of it is full of parts ready to pack
