Our area has hit D4 status. Things are bleak. I?m doing everything I can to be able to keep all of the cattle that I intended on keeping, so I am
running them all over the section with electric fences. I now have a group of 60 in an area where all of the springs have dried up so I have to
haul water.
A while back I posted that my ?54 Chevy 6400 was not charging once it got hot under the hood. I put the 1200 gallon water tank in the back of it
last night so I grabbed a screwdriver and took the cover off the regulator. Someone here mentioned that the spring for the cutout needed to be
adjusted. I adjusted her a little bit and problem solved! I ran it several time throughout the day with it hovering around 100 degrees and lots
hotter inside the old truck. She charged just fine the whole time. Thanks guys!
On a separate note: that hill has an old well with a pump jack on it. I can pump it just fine and good water comes out. If I found I way to operate
the pumpjack (without have pumping for hours by hand) I wouldn?t be hauling water up there. Has anyone come across such a situation before? No
consistent wind in that area for a windmill, btw. I do have a power pole close by, though.
