Anyone have any contacts?

There are plenty of companies in West Texas that still sell Wind driven pumps. This area ismainly Cattle country and theranchers use these wind driven pumps to fill the many water tanks that prolifrate the landscape.
Try Googling hardware stores around and about Midland, Marfa, San Angelo, Kerrville, San Marcos, Pecos, etc. Almost any of these mentioned should have both the towers, the fan array and the pumps. They might even have the plans for the installation.
Just as a matter of description, West Texas is know as "Where the cows cut the wood and the wind draws the water".
Good luck!!
