**It is fully plumbed for water, and was working perfectly when my dad lived there, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get it back running again...The pump works fine and supplies water to the water troughs (known as canogas where I come from) and systern, but I can't figure how in the world it gets to the house.**

Look for a shut off valve. Someone may have just turned the water off after your dad passed away. Could be a really easy fix. Could be under the house or in a box just outside. Could be back at the source but the box should be pretty visible. You could rent a metal detector and mark the path that the pipe from the house takes. Trace it back to it's source and see what you dig up. If the pipe's in nasty shape, replumb with the newer plastic pipe. If running water was all that was standing between me and a place to really put a tractor to use, I'd be all over it.
