Hand or manual well pump
 

Looking to buy, trade, or ho a hand well pump. Will recon to make work. Need to pump out my shallow well that I haven't used for two maybe three years. Want to manually pump out any gravel that has settled back in the pit, so I don't ruin the $99.00 3/4 HP Harbor Freight well pump I am going to order.

Here's one that I used 25yrs ago on my shallow and since it has been a garden ornament. Mechanically seems OK but will need seals to be reconditioned.

If you can't get any other offers you are welcome to this one....ho ho ho

who is he gonna get to pump it ? :grins:

Craig, stic king tongue out in your direction blowing raspberries.........

Phil I'll gladly accept your offer. I can try to recondition.

well spoken Frank
 

some of those old pumps used a round leather gasket

Ya, I have seen those before. Three or four layers of leather glued or stitched together. I am hoping the threaded long bolt will accept a plastic one if I cn get one. Maybe from Sears on-line or something. Must be able to buy parts for them. This is cool, new adventure. Raised beds are looking good. Planting potatos probably Thursday sometime. I have some gorgeous looking giant pumpkin pants growing. Those spaces where I plant them will use up the rest of my ten year old compost pile I broke into a few weeks ago.
