@@UKTOOLTALK hi Jon, thanks for your comment 👍. At the bottom of the windmill a pump cylinder is cemented in the ground. The shaft of the windmill is attached to a sealed plunger going up and down inside the pump cylinder that forces the water up the pipe. Each upstroke pulls water into the cylinder. On the downstroke, a check valve in the bottom won’t let the water be pushed out, so the water is forced up the pipe with the next upstroke. It pumps water out of a dam which is lower than ground level up to a ring tank that is called a turkeys nest because it is the same shape as a bush turkeys nest so the water will gravity flow to the troughs. This allows you to water multiple paddocks from the same dam and keeps the cattle out of the water.
How did it change your life? ⚡️🤔
Doing repairs like this helped me get over my fear of heights.

That’s a tiny Z Pattern Southern Cross Windmill. Wait till you work on a Large R Pattern Seneschal Southern Cross.
