So i'm down in the garage working on the P-car (drivers window decided to come out of the track) Wife drives down says we have no water nada nothing.
So I check the breaker alls good check presure switch AOK .
Out to the well check voltage Yup got 220 This is not looking good.
I tell the little lady to get oldest daughter and bring your gloves.
Now mind you said pump is dangling 400 ft. down, the pipe connected to said pump (1 inch dia.) is full of water now I'm no rocket scientist but 1 inch x 400 ft. = HEAVY!
Got about 200 ft. up out, Wife and I pulling up, daughter draging the other end up into the pasture, daughter can't pull her end any further so off to get renforcements.
Finaly land the beast , run some jumpers to the pump....... nobody home.
Looks like I won't be buying any Porsche parts for a while.
Found the receipt for the old pump dated 1988 so I got 21 years out of it ,hope I'm dead when the next one turns its yoke!
