Rich, Woodford/Iowa is the same hydrant. Some guys call them one of the other but we are talking about the kind you already have. They are painted orange with "Woodford" in the casting on one side and "Iowa" on the other side.
My artesian water is tough on hydrants. For those seldom used it helps to keep a spray can handy to soak the top where the packing nut is with WD or PB or similar every so often.
