you noticed the propane tank hanging off the pump rod.
a few months ago there was extensive conversation concerning how much weight to add to make the windmill think its sucking water and working the motor.
I just happened to have a full tank so that's what got hung.
Some day the Oshkosh pump, John Deere pump jack and John Deere model E engine will be mounted under the tower. It's just time and money.
