| Heh heh heh, Rich, I'm sure glad we finally got this HYDRANT thing ironed out. Even if it took us about a page to do it.
So what's the verdict? You gonna replace the Ritchie with a Iowa/Woodford? Is it this particular hydrant in the pics causing your current trouble or one like it? Seems like I remember this is an old pic you posted from a while back.
If the hydrant is not turned on and off frequently and a higher flow is desired maybe an underground curb stop/drain would be an option. I have 11 tire/fiberglass stock tanks with stop/drains and the float valves in the bottom of the tank. These are usable in winter because with no exposure to the air they won't freeze when left on like a hydrant. Another advantage of the stop/drain is it doesn't restrict water flow like a hydrant with a rod inside of it does. But it's more of hassle to keep a key handy to turn it on and off with. For the location in your pic just filling water buckets or hooking up a garden hose I'd stay with a hydrant.

For you Northeners that deal with cold. Who makes the best water hydrant?
