If these are old water pumps they all need repairing since they seem to be missing the pump handle as well as a few other parts.

I am not sure what the pan thing next to the pump is - maybe a filter or chemical treatment. Unless I am mistaken it says Bullard Texas which south of Tyler. I also see the bows and fiddles that Jane mentioned[in another e-mail]. Could it be something like a barn raising? I am going to forward the message to the Smith County list and see if anyone there has any ideas.
