This was from another threat, i think he was only talking about the plastic switches here.
my guess for your photos would be, version 1.... its blue and round.
This one isnt a 15kw, but it was military.
csheath, is this what you were looking for? it is in an enclosure, the enclosure is an old minute man missle control box.
This is will be my backup when it gets all wired up. We would have used it for a snow storm but I only had the cable in the...
I am guessing that a 15kw will be better suited. By his description it sounds like an older all electric home, and my guess is an older well motor with no soft start ability so the well by itself pegs a needle about 4k on a start. I think he would be gobbling up a 10k and running the chance of...

If it were me, I would replace the nipple that skrews into the pump, the collar, and the rubber washer. And flare that fuel line. I...
