Hydraulic Pump Mounting

While doing a little system checking today I discovered a little issue with the mounting plate for the hydraulic (slide) pump on the 3610RE. The pump assembly is mounted on an aluminum plate attached to the framing with self-tapping metal screws. I found that there were only two screws installed, both on the side next to the compartment door - none on the inside edge. You could lift the inside half of the plate up several inches with a little hand pressure. I can imagine the bouncing when traveling a bumpy section of highway. It is a real bear to install screws on the inside edge of the mounting plate. It took about an hour to get it done, but now it should not bounce the pump up and down. Also found ALL the screws loose on the grounding bar behind the battery. Maybe I saved myself a little future misery.
