I like the hight without the base I'm thinking about putting my 117 back together without the base , it does make it alot shorter

Some of the early 5gal pumps were made to be mounted on Concrete bollards, next were the Cast Iron bases & lastly Stamped Steel bases.
IF I was to display a 10gal W/O a base, I'd mount it to a 3' dia. pc of plywood [& the 5gal too]. To easy to knock over w/o.

The base was there for a reason, it had the pump mechanism in it, take away the base you have a 17 with no pump in it. I know we usually remove the pumping mech. from later pumps, but isn't the recommendation is that we leave the pumping mech. in the visibles?
I have written two articles about the GLM (Fry 17,117, 177) pumps, but I actually believe this is the most misunderstood pump ever made.
Hope you guys subscribe to CTO mag. I know now what one of my upcoming articles will be about.

To reply to Jim. If I had a base I would have included it! In my first post I mentioned that the fellow I got it from scrapped out anything of value. Have spent last 3 years searching for a restoreable base. Decided to get at least this much done untill one shows up.
