If the well is still good you would get far more bang for you buck restoring it for what its intended for than trying to get a little electricity out of it

From what he is saying all it needs is a little TLC to get it going
It s in a garden after all

An you can still watch it spin : )

I agree a restore is in order.It is in a garden and gardens need water.
It may be possible to belt up a low speed DC pm motor to it for a few watts.
Bingo water and light,maybe.Gardens like light to.
later
