Water Pump

This water well pump is old. We are told that this pump was installed for a school that was located right were our shop is going. The neighborhood children would fetch water from this well for their families and homes. The pump is workable. It needs a new leather before it will pull any water. This is something I may do in the future.
Here is the pump in relation to the shop. I had to push my shop more eastward to avoid having to remove the well. On this end is my 10x10 shop door. To access the space, I needed it far enough away from the pump to maneuver any equipment I might store inside without hitting the pump. If you click on the picture you can see more details. From left to right: the old trailer power pole, father back the white you can see is a small metal shed in the pasture, the pile of trash that once was a trailer home, and although you cannot see it, a cistern. The school had an old cistern put out back to collect water off the roof. It is in a direct line from the pump handle to the middle of the slab. It is just out of sight.
