If you can still buy replacement parts and you have a source now you should be good for years to come.

Good Saturday #4 evening Illinois, and Ford Truck enthusiasts, Ken, Shaun, and John.

I'm getting use to these bee you tee full days. Going to be a shock when the white crap begins to fall.

Did some yard work today getting ready for Winter.

Good evening Illinois, Rick, and visiting gentlemen.
2020 has flown by so fast, it's almost over already, and I think that I missed summer completely.

How are things?

Howdy John.

That is a pitcher pump. They have a leather foot valve that keeps the water from flowing back down the well pipe holding its prime.

Parts for them are still available at your favorite hardware store. LOL

I didn't know that I won't be putting gas in the white crap blower until I'm standing in white crap. I don't want to jinx myself. LOL

All I did was park the garden tractor in the back of the shed and the blower is next to the door. I clear most of the show by shovel unless we get a big heavy dump..like to pack it down in the driveway first and have it freeze so I'm not tossing rocks all over the lawn, fewer of them anyway..
