Meant to post this here....
As I mentioned in the implement alley section, me and the boys rebuilt my 50 gallon 3 pt sprayer over the weekend and put down some 2,4-D on my hay fields.
On the property where the fields are located, there is a small camp and with it a fairly a modern type well with submersible pump and pressure tank. Nothing unusual about this set-up IMHO - probably what everyone else would have at their house.
One of the questions I'm asking is - if I'm using the well/pump to fill my 50 gallon sprayer, is there any danger of burning it out or otherwise damaging it. I'm filling the tank to 25 gallons, stopping, adding the chemical and filling to the 50 gal mark. My thinking is - I'm probably not using any more water than my kids when taking they are taking show - one right after another - as they do. The difference is my house is on "city" property and no well/pump is involved. We are probably at least 50 ft or more via hose from the house and well location to minimize any potential spill hazards right at the well site.
Any caution for filling the 50 gallon tank from a well/pump? Am I asking for pump trouble?

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
