Before I could put everything together, I needed to figure out a way to mount the new pumps. Unlike the old transmissions, the pumps are separate from the motors. I decided to make one plate that holds the pumps directly beneath the seat.

| Drilling the pilot holes for the pumps. Offset for the linkage. |
 |
| Used my press to bend the edges. |
 |
| Welding it to the upper frame. This is the bottom of the frame. |
 |
| The flange pulley is for the jackshaft. The pump pulleys are kind of low so I wanted to keep the engine belt as high up as possible for the plow parts. |
