Anyone successfully taken an antique cast iron pump and been able to pump water from a well? I assume the piston/gasket is a component that will only last do long regardless of the pump. How much lift (at best) can you expect from the pump design linked? What size was your drop pipe? What was your pump yield?
Not interested in Bison pumps. Pump |

when I was a child, had and Aunt and Uncle living in Penn..they were born in the 1880s and their house
was still pretty much pre electricity/indoor plumbing. they had a well pump on the kitchen sink, I remember the old man saying it was washerless...this was the 1950's so pump was probably pushing 100 years at the time..all I got |
