Ross, thanks for the update. Dr. Manny is sure one heck of a physician!!

Ross, great pictures, that Thor sure is interesting! I never would have thought the motor and pump were mounted horizontally on the mechanism.

Good luck Dr. Manny on getting it up and running!

Thanks for the update Ross, great pictures. I wonder what Manyy is planning on replacing the outer tub boot with?

That boot looks like an automotive CV joint boot. I would Bet one would work as a replacement.
