Keep posting these ideas. One of the reasons I have been stalling is because although I now have most everything for my tow mixer I don’t really like the concept of the deferential seal at the bottom of the tank and felt I could do better but just had yet to decide which way to go. I like this latest idea very much post some pictures of these pumps if you go look at them.
SG I get great ideas even from your rare half back ones so keep em coming. J
