That smart thinking on mounting it to your lawnmower frame. I was using my jet sled this winter to drag mine out to my friends goose pit to pump it out. J

Yeah, but it would be even cooler if you could mow and pump at the same time lol. Looks great snowy and quite ingenious!
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Allan, that is a good idea. I got to check I do have it tied down with zip ties and I think I got a couple bolts through unit and decking. Thanks for the heads up on that because it would save me a lot of time if I wasn't prepared for what could happen.

I'd also put some Rector Seal on any joints that will have water going through the fitting since I see the galvanized insert coupling granted it maybe fire hose thread which is very coarse but a thin layer of it can't hurt.
I'd also suggest some sort of rubber grommets or something made of rubber to act as a dampener for any of the vibration that I'm sure will happen to one degree or another some 1" pipe insulation may work split it then wrap it then tape it down with some electric tape. Which maybe tough on the plastic wheels .

Allan I checked no bolts through unit to decking. I thought about vibration and was thinking I should of did like you said. I will put some rubber between decking and frame work of pump. I put tarp straps for additional securing pump to decking and I think that will work. There is a lot of movement when unit is run in the wheels and will rock with motion of motor running. Thanks again for all the tips from your experience.

Trees in our country don't come easy. I have trees that are thee foot tall that are 20 years old. I do water them, just not enough. A lot of trees I plant live 6-10 years then die. The one I really like are apple trees that live about 6 year and never put on a apple, and die. They die and I start over digging a bigger hole every time. I have one tree that has produced 25 gallons in a season, so I know it can be done.
