Front View of Rope Pump

Diagram by D. Keeth.
The aboveground portion of the rope pump consists of a bicycle tire rim with a handle welded to it. Metal supports are also welded to the tire rim in such a way that the rim can rotate freely upon turning. This portion of the pump sits on top of the concrete well cap.
