Puzzle Description:

No, its not a sick moose! It's a grasshopper oil pump.

Very surprising end to this puzzle. I couldn't see the pump until I read your description. I thought that a child had drawn a bison, at first. Good puzzle, and unique. Thanks.

I don't know how long this pic will be available, but for those who haven't seen one (also called jack pumps):

I thought it was a telescope and was thoroughly confused. Now, I get it.

based on the title i thought the puzzle would be of a "little house"
haha

I was confused at first, because that was one weird looking animal. Then I read your description, and it jumped right out! Nice job. :-)

These are fascinating to watch in action.

I was thinking it would be either a little house or a bison. Sometimes you see these painted up.
