Freds 73 Scamp restore on a budget

Yes I have used the hydrants back in Mo for 37years. I would have to order one on line and pay shipping to get it in S E Texas. Silly $. I just cut ff the cracked piece and fixed it. 4 outside and 1 broke. Next time in W Tx I will try to remember to get one or 2 or 3 or 4!!
