Drum Pump storage

Postby Wunma » Wed Jun 21 2017, 01:13

G'day All,

Just hoping someone can help me with some photos and ideas as to carrying a drum pump on a R22 with the drum spear still attached, as it is a pain to have to reassemble and disassemble it each time amongst other reasons.
I am aware of where some blokes and girls carry them on R22s but just not how they are mounted/ secured.
Obviously people may have other opinions on this, so practical advice only please :D

Feel free to PM me if you would rather do it that way.

Cheers,

I used to attach the pump to the cross tubes with metal hose clamps. Never had a problem. Done the same with spray booms on the old Bush Ranger.

I have seen the pods before, the would be handy for items that don't fit under the seat.

I saw a photo once of litters on a R22, wish I saved it. I can find anything more about them, I have noted people mentioning that you're not aloud to put any load and the skid tubes like that.So maybe they weren't EOed?

Despite entering and exiting a R22 possibly being difficult, boy litters would be handy if they were possible.

Are you just having a laugh? Try getting hold of Rotar and Wing in Nz pretty sure John will be able to send you in the right direction for pods .
