Well, the king's cattle have water in the barn again. My son Nick and grandson Devon came over yesterday and we pulled the pump.
Turned out to be pretty easy even we found two problems, the well pump was bad but the wire was bad too. I would get 220v at the well til the pump tried to draw then the volts dropped to nearly nothing. There had been a ground hog digging in the corner of the barn right where the well pipe comes in and electric goes out. I suspect he damaged the wire. Hopefully he was electrocuted. Lol. He was long gone before I came around tho. I figure the low voltage and amps to the pump burned the pump out. I ran a temporary wire that will have to be above ground til spring when I can dig one in.
Here are my helpers just as the last of the pump went back in.
Of course the pipe laying on the ground froze so we had to pull it part way and thaw it out to get water. But there is water in the barn now and after another flush it looks and works good.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
