[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 841695, member: 14661"] Hi, yall. I've got a windmill problem. I went to replace the leathers on a windmill on a ranch that I bought and I couldn't get the drop pipe to lift with a come-a-long hooked to the top of the stand... stuck tight and from what I'm told the windmill worked less than a year ago. I finally un-plumbed everything down to where I was working at ground level and the tried again and about twenty feet of drop pipe twisted off in my hand. Now the leathers and remaining drop pipe are stuck in the bottom of the well. I really doubt that any of our local pump guys can get to the sight as it takes 4x4 for me to get there with no extra weight... Any ideas??? If I was good at things like fixing windmills, I probably wouldn't have to shove my hand up a cow's A$$ for a living. :D [/QUOTE]
