Ok, well I got a JD2 Model 32...this thing is very nice!
I got it with the 10ton cylinder and Air/Hydro setup..
Wanna make a pretty simple mount, but add a unique look to it...here ya go!

Here's what she'll look like...total height came to 43in to center of tube...

First thing I did was make the bender look a little better with some simple flapdiskin...

Made some spacers so the die would sit in the center of the arms...

Didnt wanna buy any material for this thing so I just used scraps...

I still have a few things to do to it...gotta figure out how I wanna paint it or not paint it...Gonna add a few more studs to hold various things...Gotta make a bottom for the pump frame...few odds and ends...but I'll add pics as I knock them off the list.
