...hope you get well soon, Rob...
...had a Tokheim 36B fall on me when a rotten board on the trailer we were loading gave under the weight of one of the wheels on my hand truck...although I couldn't maintain my balance or get out of the way, luckily, it came down slowly enough and in a way that I could brace it with my legs...but I had to get CircaDesigns to help extricate me...I think we were both laughing...
Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

Dont know Rob but have been in the position of personal safety or dumping the pump (unrestored in my cases)It's a very tough choice. Another dent or some thing broken(on the pump)I never had to use myself as a cushion between the ground and the pump but it seems like the ultimate sacrifice. I bow down to you. Get well soon.

Thanks Ray for the post and to all that posted kind words!
I have been recovering now for three weeks and getting better day by day. I have not told many about this accident because I think I am mad at myself for letting that pump get a hold of me.
My advice to all never think your invincible to anything, be carefull!!!! I slipped on gravel trying to move that monster tryed to get away but it overpowered me!! (late at night in the dark and tired after wrenching all week at the shop.
Thanks Again for all the nice get well greetings!
Rob
