Del is going on a 3000 dollar non-Mopar, non-vehicle, non-boat road trip
Broke for lunch. Got the thing backed up to it after jacking it up --cleaned up the PTO splines and slipped the pump on--- AND GOT SOME MOVEMENT outta her as well!! Fiddled with the jack pads, and moved the arm a few inches!!! But..........that big pump, thanks to Farmall's idea of "where to put a PTO shaft" is gonna limit how close I can mount it. I may just re-work the foot enclosure(s) to allow it to come back another 4" or whatever. That kind of weight makes a big difference with the "length"
I may investigate whether jacking it up a few more inches would work---and miss the pump interference. It's at about 12" off the ground, now
And one of the annoying neighborhood wild rabbits. They used to migrate around the 'hood, and weren't too bothersome, until some nitwit woman across the alley started feeding them. So now they congregate more in this area, and are a nuisance, and I think they inter-bread more.
