Cheap Hydrant Repair ~ NO WATER COMING OUT???

[@floyd4311]

Great video. Simple and easy to follow. Thank you.

[@samanthaspindler7733]

Thank you for taking the time to put this out there. I think you saved me from digging out my old hydrant and putting a new one in. You time and energy is so very appreciated!!!

[@KerryKarner-rd4yg]

My SINCERE thanks for your time and willingness to share the knowledge. -Just the direction I needed. Most appreciated.

[@TheCookFamilyHomestead]

Thank you!

[@akaviradawn9175]

Thank You!!! I manage several Natural Parks/Campgrounds, we have just shy of 400 yard hydrants and they take a hell of a beating all year round. Leaks at the hydrant are common due to seal wear, but occasionally we have issues like this. I don't always have time to wait for contractors or for work orders to be processed, so this video is invaluable to me! Also, thank you for providing the proper terms for the items you're working with, I can't tell you how frustrating it is trying to order parts for a specific application when it's described as a vague component. Great video! 👍🏻

[@sheepnotfound3419]

Thank you - had no idea what was wrong with mine. Super clear and informative video. I will be investigating mine tomorrow and hope that this is the problem. Thanks again!

[@ralphcrandell3009]

ThankYOU for the link. I was unable to find that clevis rod anywhere in Canada. All other pars were available EXCEPT the rods Finally hit your link and had parts needed in 2 days. Thanks again

[@harbingermerrimack8077]

Thanks . My hydrant in my barn just exhibited this behavior yesterday. I'll take a looky today.

[@bwrightaway2877]

I'm glad I checked this right before I started digging! Thanks for the video

[@mitchelldarnell5334]

There is a new type with male threads and a female couplers! Found it once an now I can’t find it. But it eliminates the thin brass clevis rod👍

[@danwildhaber8178]

Thanks, much better information than the other video I looked at.

[@bobhollaway115]

Another thank you for the video. You probably saved me a day's hard work.

[@zojojozo86]

Thanks for the video. Fortunately mine was just a loose set screw.

[@gordoncook7613]

Good that it was a nice easy fix!! Good job done😁👍

[@joekuckla6450]

thank you sir! you saved me a lot of trouble

[@FarmerBrad]

Thanks for your video. It helped moralize that various brands work with different height rods. I didn’t replace the rod but I could about 3/4 an inch off of the one already installed and it worked great.

[@aggieclimber]

Another thank you for this video. I appreciate you getting right to it and explaining the process without extraneous comments or info. Now all we need to do is convince Tractor Supply to carry the clevis rod on the shelves.

[@TheCookFamilyHomestead]

Thank you....and yes, they need to stock them!

[@davehasstedt9902]

Thank you! It was simple and you saved me a ton of money. $9 for a new Clevis rod.

[@Hiperf]

We just lost one in our yard. I will have to check during the spring. It was suddenly extremely hard to lift and then suddenly it came up BUT no water. Thank you for a direct at least.

[@TheCookFamilyHomestead]

Thanks for watching! Hope it helps.

[@howardharter8098]

Thank you for the link. My clevis pin broke while feeding the critters this morning.

[@nickd.602]

Thanks for the great tip. Its exactly what happened to me. Thanks for taking the time to make your video.

[@TheCookFamilyHomestead]

Thank you!

[@jeremypaluck4246]

I figured our issue was something like this, thanks for the video!

[@carolesmith7615]

Thank you for your video. Going out to see if it is this fix. Fingers crossed. 😉

[@tomandmaryloushaw6004]

Thank you, I think you saved me

[@zinke187]

Learned enough to fix mine from this video so thank you!

[@TheCookFamilyHomestead]

Thank you!

[@garrettschamberger3021]

My mother just called me tonight with a no water situation with her yard hydrant. Thanks for sharing your information!!

[@benink5690]

Did this work?

[@theamazingkenny]

Thanks!

[@_AndromedaGalaxy_]

My problem is something is jammed shut in the bottom. Even when I take the plunger out and turn the water on it barely trickles out the top of the pipe.

[@brianeyman316]

Can you point me to a video on a stuck hydrant? I pulled the lever up for turning on. But it's staying stuck upright and no water coming out either.

[@chuckrolus4184]

Do you have to turn the water off first

[@shootermcgee628]

Thanks! How about the full length rod? Mine is awfully rust and I think I would rather just replace the full assembly. Clevis, rod, rubber plug.

[@chrislarose2457]

Where is the link to purchase the Clovis pin?

[@TheCookFamilyHomestead]

It is in the description.

[@walkinharmonyhomestead2888]

Great tip and instructions! Question: is that heat tape you have on the pipe of the frost free? All the heat tape I have ever seen says it is only for pipes that constantly have water in them...?

[@TheCookFamilyHomestead]

I use the heat tape in the winter here. I only need it when it gets in the teens temperature wise. It gets very cold here and can cause problems even for these hydrants. The heat tape works great.

[@walkinharmonyhomestead2888]

@@TheCookFamilyHomestead We are in single digit temps already this year, highs in the 20s. It’s nuts! Thanks again.

[@russellswenton5611]

Does the water need to be turned off from the source, before you take it apart ?

[@TheCookFamilyHomestead]

Yes it does.

[@serinaszyplik6677]

[@Big-Char.]

Yeah the "Ole extension cord to the yard hydrant" trick keeps people from using it!😳😳😳😳

[@TheCookFamilyHomestead]

???

[@spiveyjames6625]

How dare you identify that part as having a female end 😅😅😂😂

[@fishpants3877]

Hey! I just had to thank you for this video. I had the same problem (and I'm no plumber) that you had. I followed your instructions (I'm also no rocket scientist) which I found very clear and friendly. Problem solved thanks to you. My hydrant works better than ever! I also have chickens.
