Update, I ended up having to work most of the next day, and by the time I got home they were already wrapping up and done. Big thanks to Cascade Pump And Irrigation for getting my well back online FAST!
Drill holes in all 4 corners of pumphouse and install eyelit lag bolts. Appy roof sealant on threads before running them in. As for greasing the truck did he get the S-Cam tubes and also the seat. Not sure if that is one that takes grease but, most western star seats do and if accordian skirt is on it it can still be that style. Some have holse cut for the grease fittings. Almost everyone forgets to do them. That and steering boxes and steering shafts by the firewall and some have inside cab steering shaft grease fittings.
One easy way to hide that paint damage on the fenders could be to get a roll of that red reflective tape and just hide it. With the added benefit of better visibility from the sides for oncoming traffic.
Almost 40 years ago my late wife and I bought our acreage. I replaced five well pumps in 11 years. I know more about well pumps than I ever intended to! Our well was a 36 inch diameter augured well 300 feet deep. We had a 1 hp pump 280 feet down. When I put in our six well pump, I finally had all of the information and skills to determine that the reason my well pumps had been failing was because The wire was too small for the length of the run and the size of the pump. So I put the wire in one size larger than what I needed according to specifications. That was the cheapest pump I ever purchased, and it is still working 30 years later without fail. Make sure they have the proper size wire on that if you have not already. Awesome video demonstrating the Zacklifts true adaptability to whatever you have to tow!😊
Yeah even with the right size wire for the amps it pulls, you need to figure what the voltage drop is for the length of wire you’re running. And size accordingly 👍. I’m thinking the you lose about 3amps for every 100 feet but I would have to look it up.
I do a lot of electrical work several years ago I ran #2 aluminum underground wire about 300 feet to a little outdoor barn that was 24/24 that the owner was making a work shop for a lot of woodworking equipment. He was wanting to do it cheaper so I just used a 30 amp screw in fuse box with two fuses instead of a breaker box, and fed several plugs off of it. After all he can only run one saw at a time.
Zacklifts garden tractor, sounds like a plan. Time to build a 1 yard bucket to attach to the under reach and one of the winches can act as the dump mechanism.
@@bobbyt2657 Yes, the graph of preventative maintenance versus replacing at failure looks a bit like an X on its side... there is a sweet spott for cost in the middle.

Hello Casey , dang 800 foot well. I had a new well drilled last fall , at 120 feet we hit water and at 200 feet we were getting over 30 gallons a minute. So we stopped there. I am really happy that I did not have to go 800 feet! I have seen people in this area build a well insulated box over their water equipment and heat it with a 100 watt light bulb. It works , even at minus 40f! And Grumpy , absolutely he is the best! Thanks for taking us along and of course thumbs UP!!
Casey, I do like your time you give us with perfect shows, I am in Australia luv the effect you put in this for us to watch, keep up the very enjoyable vids. . Best of shows n wishing this keeps going. .
maintenance days are always interesting to follow along! Awesome job moving the pump house. Definitely interested in seeing the pipe and pump exchange.
Grumpy's Snow Removal Service motto: We might even get there before it's all melted! 🤣 Ian is proving to be a great addition to your channel. Quick wit and just the right amount of snarkiness.
Always impressed by your operation. When greasing those Onspots I used to grease them when they are activated. Makes the bushings last a little longer. During summer months I take the chain wheels off so it doesn't wear the arm bushing too.
Casey, a idea that I have for your well house building is to fasten two 2x6 or 2x8 under your eves sticking out about one foot past the tin, giving you 4 pick points. Just a thought. Love your videos, I really enjoy the beautiful scenery in your videos. Love to see the well pump replacement.
We got a bit of a break in de jobs.... because i stopped answering the phone for a bit. hahahahha got to love this guy :) love your content Casey! love from Holland!!
Casey!! You should ask Zacklift if they could make a special pivot pin for the wheel lift with a 2 5/16” ball ,so that you could pull gooseneck trailers without having to fiddle around with some mickymouse contraption.😱 And thanks for all the time and effort taken so we have great videos to watch!👍
Project to put on the list of things you'll never get to when planned... rebuild pump house, but put it on skids with a double door to clear well components and slid it out or the way with a winch....
Don't know if Ethan saw when the blue wreaker popped a wheelie but it looked a lot more fun then a skidsteer. Then again its all fun watching your videos and i even learn a thing or two sometimes.
An 800' well is no joke. Most people by me will hit water within 150', but my last place surprised me with a well that was almost 400' deep. I ended up having to rig up some sketcy contraption to pull it with my jeep and borrow some of the neighbors' yard just to have somewhere to put all of the pipe. Having to wait another week for a larger pump and check valves to come in was fun too. It was definitely a project I regretted not paying someone else to do for me
Casey's version of, 'When all you have is a hammer'. Next week we will see Casey actually use the Zacklift as a hammer to install fence posts. It's called having Vision and Imagination, being able to see what you CAN do then making it happen. Well done,
We also have a structure over the top of our well. For future service, consider making the roof removable, or add a service hatch (we use a skylight) that can be removed to allow the piping and pump to be pulled for service or replacement.
I know that you are going to get more advice on how to pick the pump house in the future but I can't resist. Option 1: Install lag bolts on all 4 corners where you can attach chains or lift straps. Use your wheel wood blocks to protect the metal roofing. Option 2: Use your skid steer with pallet forks to lift it. See, aren't you glad I took the time to advise you... You are welcome!
dont forget to insulate the pump house's walls and roof with just some basic stuff will help prevent you from running a heater on 24/7 to keep it barely above freezing
LaDelle on a Well 😂. Maintenance day shows all the work that really goes into running heavy equipment like the Western Star & ZackLift or Farm Equipment! Our well house was a very small fake decorative rock, stuffed with insulation, that looked like part of the landscaping! We had underground electric run from the garage to plug in a heat tape wrapped around the well head. The thermostat was back on the outside of the garage and turned on the heat tape when the temperature dropped to about 34 (we had very cold winters). It was simple, automated, and worked like a charm. And when we sanitized or did maintenance on the well, you could lift the fake rock off easily!
I absolutely love this channel so much. Your personality. Casey is absolutely hilarious, Ethan’s all right too lol no but all seriousness you and Ethan together are hilarious combo. Feel like I’m hanging out my buddies watching you guys. The jokes are perfectly time as well.
The LaDelle well has been moved twice. Its first and last time ever. If you install an eye-bolt on top of the new doghouse you can lift it off and put it back on, any time you want.
I do have to say watching you n seeing all the out of the box thinking you have done, am more surprised pump house not just set up with wheels n hitch to lift n tow!!! Keep up great work
800 foot well?! Around here, not only would that break the bank, but you would be hitting magma!! Well, shallow bed methane, but still way deeper than any water well. Great video, guys!
Hello Casey. Don’t worry about what other people have to say. They have no idea what the timeframe of what you’re doing and what you’re going through. On the mudflaps for the big thing. But just wanted to give you a little suggestion where the chain beat up the side of your truck, the panels, if you had those rhino lined and you can get it rhino lined in red they’re guaranteed not to chip or peel for life. So by doing that you would have the nice red side and if chains came off again for some unfortunate reason you wouldn’t have to worry about it. That’s just a thought. Period doing good on the maintenance. I enjoy your channel. I appreciate your logic. Don’t let all the negativity of morons out there. They don’t comprehend life get you down. God be with you.
I did mine by myself 295 feet last year I was sore for a week but only cost me the price of a new pump like $620 I wondered how much it would have cost to have some do it for me
30+ year old well, galvanized pipe had pin holes. If I had the equipment (boom truck or A-frame and foot jack) the pump, wire, pipe, controller and Well Troll would have cost about 2,800 @@randallnonya7298
Worked on a big loader, they used 1/4 inch nylon air lines for grease lines for hard to reach stuff, the only down side, if you send it hard in cold weather, it'll pop the line,
Wow! amazing how different the different parts of our country are. Here in SW Florida, my water level is around 8' or so. When my last submersible pump died, I ran an above ground pump with a 40' drop. 800' wozers !!!!
Hi Casey, i just found your channel. I enjoy all your material very enjoyable to watch. I'll be watching all your videos. You'll be one of my everyday watches. Learning a lot about towing. Keep up the great work
Nice video as always Casey 👍 I even managed to see the short first this time 😁 I had a mechanic out one day to work on my tactor, for going underneath he pulled out of his van, an unused flat lorry / semi anti spray wheel flap, put it prickly side down then had a nice clean, slightly softer surface to lie on the back.of it. That was onto a concrete floor in a shed but I guess it would work outside, I've also sometimes used a big sheet of cardboard, of course got to avoid any drips of grease.
My boss at the last tow company I worked for did the pump for the town with the tow truck! Wasn't 800ft, only about 75, but was likely as heavy as 800ft of pipe and pump.
I have always heard that "necessity creates function" (which means that there are people who, when faced with a problem, solve it with what they have at hand, something like McGuiver hahaha), and in your case it applies to almost every video you watch. you do, which is nice since you always learn something.
You could attach two hoses to the bottom grease points and you can have them ran to a spot that's easier to access. We have that on a lot of ag equipment.
I built my well house using cold storage panels, I used the 4' thick version for the walls and ceiling and I did a efis plaster finish so it doesn't look like a white metal box. It also serves as an exit from my underground bunker.
You could even try and build or buy a solar air heeater box for the well chamber... should easily pay for itself and ad some protection if there is a poweroutage.
My mountain house had 600’ deep well, my home had 260’ deep well. Mt house had 1hp submersible pump hung on 1” blue plastic pipe. Main house had 3/4 hp submersible pump hung on 1” blue plastic pipe. After well was drilled my wife and I installed the pumps, pipe and wire. We have pulled and replaced both complete pumps without help. I wish I would’ve had a Zacklift, I think it may have made it easier. Good video Casey.
24:00 Like minds think alike. At my last house, I used an Igloo Doghouse for my well. Granted it was only 300 feet down. Used the heat lamp only in the wintertime and the setup worked perfectly fine.
Remote grease lines, you add a line to the old fitting and mount the new head where is accessable when mounted. Maybe you don't need to always grease it, but it would make it accessable
Just a thought... A simple concreate or cement pad thick enough to support a loaded truck and finished smooth enough to roll a creeper on is something your yard needs.
My mate lived on a farm in the mountains of East Gippsland in Victoria, Australia. In winter I have seen it down to -16 deg C. The box around his water pump was just big enough to surround the pump with 8inchs of insulation on all sides, top and bottom. We never had a problem with freezing and it does snow several times each winter.
About 25 yrs ago I convinced my parents to have a drilled well put in. The well "people" were drilling about 20 minutes when a sink hole began to form. The drill operator (and owner) pulled up his equipment , moved the rig and said In 20 yrs I've never done this, here's your money back and left. Then dad had a dug well excavated. It's 40 ft deep app the size of an Olympic swimming pool and filled with washed gravel. Cement casings were put down stacked 1 on top of the other. It has NEVER run out of water and the pump is in the basement of the house. But you do need to live in an area with adequate rainfall. Just an FYI for those that can do this and have the property.
Those well pump guys can get expensive! I've had to replace two deep well pumps over the years, but you've got me beat. My deepest one was only 600 feet.
I work for a township. We tried all different kinds of tire chains on our plow trucks. The strongest and longest lasting are Pewag square link by far. Not quite as good of traction as the V-bar, but they last 3 to 4 times longer.
Next time you have the Zaklift dismounted add a grease whip hose to the lower hoist pivot and mount the end somewhere you can get to it. And don't forget your fifth wheel and king pin.
Hi Casey, why don't you put the two conex near each other and build a roof for a quick workshop, like Matt at Diesel Creek only put a back on it so you don't have a wind tunnel. Just saying, it would get some protection for your working equipment summer and winter . cheers Robin.
Casey Zacklift should sponsor you if they don't already since you are helping them by showing how useful Zacklift really is and more then just recoveries. In my opinion your logic on I will do it later since maintenance day is proof of that. The commentary between you and Ethan was hilarious. I am glad you aren't afraid to use bad language on your channel. In my opinion I am not really a fan of the style where people act one way or here but different in person.
I never would have imagined that underlift would go that high in the air. As for moving the shed, it's not stupid if it works, and if it fails miserably, write it off as a learning experience 😂
Ethan deserves an adjustable chair, as going to a job in your country takes hours. And the brown-coated supervisor deserves a pat on the head. Too bad about the damage, by you guys’ long hours of tough work.
Drill and screw in four large eyebolts through the roof into the plates at the corners. You've probably already put it back into place, but this will be good for next time. By the way, LOVE everything you do! Such an amazing 'get er done' guy!

Awww shucks.
But I wanted to see your 800ft pipe...
Drill holes in all 4 corners of pumphouse and install eyelit lag bolts. Appy roof sealant on threads before running them in.
As for greasing the truck did he get the S-Cam tubes and also the seat. Not sure if that is one that takes grease but, most western star seats do and if accordian skirt is on it it can still be that style. Some have holse cut for the grease fittings. Almost everyone forgets to do them. That and steering boxes and steering shafts by the firewall and some have inside cab steering shaft grease fittings.
Well gosh dang it 😒 You could have set up a camera on time lapse if you really cared about us😂😂😂😂JK 😜 😅 🙃 😂
If you put a container on either side of your "truckshop", you can get a container shelter to connect the 2 and work out of the snow / rain / sun
One easy way to hide that paint damage on the fenders could be to get a roll of that red reflective tape and just hide it. With the added benefit of better visibility from the sides for oncoming traffic.
That’s not a terrible idea…

Casey in his element proving the Zacklifts versatility. I find this so entertaining for some odd reason !
Not only that .. he is proving his versatility .. one moment the truck is Zacklift'ed .. the next its a trailer tower.
I have to believe Zacklift is getting their "money's worth" out of this partnership. What a cool machine!
Something about "when your favorite tool is a hammer, every job looks like a nail."
😮😂😂😂😂
I love the maintenance days, everyone just thinks it’s easy hoping in the truck, but there is work before and after the work
Casey's on the road so often 'maintenance' can get behind, he knows its got to be done.
With maintenance videos, they can even provide some of the pay/cost for it...

24:00 Like minds think alike. At my last house, I used an Igloo Doghouse for my well. Granted it was only 300 feet down. Used the heat lamp only in the wintertime and the setup worked perfectly fine.
I'm looking forward to seeing the well pump replacement!
Remote grease lines, you add a line to the old fitting and mount the new head where is accessable when mounted. Maybe you don't need to always grease it, but it would make it accessable
Yes we want to see it.
Thanks buddy
Just a thought... A simple concreate or cement pad thick enough to support a loaded truck and finished smooth enough to roll a creeper on is something your yard needs.
Always enjoy GRUMPY !!!
My mate lived on a farm in the mountains of East Gippsland in Victoria, Australia. In winter I have seen it down to -16 deg C. The box around his water pump was just big enough to surround the pump with 8inchs of insulation on all sides, top and bottom. We never had a problem with freezing and it does snow several times each winter.
About 25 yrs ago I convinced my parents to have a drilled well put in. The well "people" were drilling about 20 minutes when a sink hole began to form. The drill operator (and owner) pulled up his equipment , moved the rig and said In 20 yrs I've never done this, here's your money back and left. Then dad had a dug well excavated. It's 40 ft deep app the size of an Olympic swimming pool and filled with washed gravel. Cement casings were put down stacked 1 on top of the other. It has NEVER run out of water and the pump is in the basement of the house. But you do need to live in an area with adequate rainfall. Just an FYI for those that can do this and have the property.
The info U give us is AMAZING !!❤
Those well pump guys can get expensive! I've had to replace two deep well pumps over the years, but you've got me beat. My deepest one was only 600 feet.
I work for a township. We tried all different kinds of tire chains on our plow trucks. The strongest and longest lasting are Pewag square link by far. Not quite as good of traction as the V-bar, but they last 3 to 4 times longer.
Next time you have the Zaklift dismounted add a grease whip hose to the lower hoist pivot and mount the end somewhere you can get to it. And don't forget your fifth wheel and king pin.
Hi Casey, why don't you put the two conex near each other and build a roof for a quick workshop, like Matt at Diesel Creek only put a back on it so you don't have a wind tunnel.
Just saying, it would get some protection for your working equipment summer and winter . cheers Robin.
Casey Zacklift should sponsor you if they don't already since you are helping them by showing how useful Zacklift really is and more then just recoveries.
In my opinion your logic on I will do it later since maintenance day is proof of that.
The commentary between you and Ethan was hilarious. I am glad you aren't afraid to use bad language on your channel.
In my opinion I am not really a fan of the style where people act one way or here but different in person.
The Zach lift truly is the Swiss army knife of wreckers right up there with trailmater which is more like a old leatherman
if you put a hinge on the bottom side of one wall, you could just tilt the shed over to get to the pump.
I never would have imagined that underlift would go that high in the air. As for moving the shed, it's not stupid if it works, and if it fails miserably, write it off as a learning experience 😂
Casey just loves to play with the zackLift!
"LaDelle on a well"....CLASSIC! hahaha
I think seeing your well pulled would be interesting.
Ethan deserves an adjustable chair, as going to a job in your country takes hours. And the brown-coated supervisor deserves a pat on the head.
Too bad about the damage, by you guys’ long hours of tough work.
If Casey is getting a new chair, Ethan can get the old chair.

I love that you have a spare tire on the track truck
Drill and screw in four large eyebolts through the roof into the plates at the corners. You've probably already put it back into place, but this will be good for next time. By the way, LOVE everything you do! Such an amazing 'get er done' guy!
The perfectly timed pivot is so satisfying 11:38
I helped my brother replace his well head by hand a few years back.400+ ft of it.
