That’s cool Martin. Hope the new one isn’t made out of chinesium. Did the 1907 Get hit by a plow or just aged enough to leak?

The new hydrant is made in the USA by Kennedy Valve in Elmira, NY. The old one didn't get hit but it wouldn't drain anymore. We often had to pump it out or it would freeze this time of year.

MrMiller - your new hydrant was mfg'd in my hometown, Elmira NY.. I've lived in this area of NY all my life, and know many of the guys that cast, machined, and painted your new hydrant. You're getting a product from a foundry in small town USA where quality and pride of workmanship still mean something.

I thought some may enjoy seeing that old hydrant. I believe their may be a few left in the system that are even older than this one was. Quote:

We backfill using #2 or #3 stone. Whichever we happen to have at our stockpile. Today it happened to be #3's. As long as the "weep holes" at the bottom of the barrel are able to drain so the hydrant dosent hold water it's good to go. We fill it right up with stone and put a little bank run on top until we get back to topsoil and seed it.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
