[R-390] R-390A PTO ground strap screw

[chacuff]

How can you possibly loose any screws when falling from a work bench only 3" 
from the floor...

Yea...Yea I know theres one in every crowd.

I feel your pain...I put dirt colored carpet on my shop floor...everything 
gets lost.  It an indoor/outdoor type very low pile but still loose things. 
You would think they wouldn't bounce as easily but it does..
