Nice work, I'm pulling mine tomorrow. It failed and I was thinking I would use my age to wimp out and just pay someone. Local company sent a guy out and he wrote me an estimate for $8000. They claim they won't warranty anything unless they replace everything from the pump to the pressure tank. I thanked him for the visit and am feeling a lot younger now. We shall see how I feel tomorrow night. New pump and fittings cost me less than $500. A friend said he would come help. I can pay him $500 and still be miles ahead.
Brave and strong man, congrats! I almost lost mine years ago, now I do this kind of jobs for a living, with some ad hoc tools and working in pairs. Cheers!!!
Good Job!!! Better than the part of a movie where you cheer! People like you either don't have friends or MOST likely, have plenty of friends because we just don't want to ask them to help because we don't want to subject them to our insanity. I'll try to post the results of my issue with a 200' deep pump that has appeared to have failed and my reluctance to spend the $1,400 to have a pro replace it.
I pulled one from 75ft long and its some work, but did have a person to lay the pipe out as I pulled up. Mine was PVC pipe so you can't bend it to much and have to be carefull. I put new pipe on and pump and it works great. Next time Im going to put that flex pipe on.
Ahhh...why didn't you attach it to the Subaru, get someone to drive it very slowly while you guided the pipe/pump out? Make the vehicle do the work for you.
Been there and about to fix damn pitiless adapter anyone who done on there own knows the struggle. Good times.

Man I am tired from just watching you pull that thing up! Good Job!
Great Video, I love that "old school" ingenuity.

You wouldn't think it was that heavy, but the damn thing gets heavier. Cross fit could use this as a full body exercise.
Nice Video could not hear it very well but saw half of it anyway
I pulled up a 306 foot by myself but I knew to use rollers after it hit 200 it was easy. wonder why this guy didn't call his buddy?
Nice job bud.
I have all that two inch pipe has broken off in the well about twenty down I need help
help please
I have a 250 foot well so it will be fantastic to replace my pump some day...
You need to people, one to pull and one to lift.
been there done that many .... many times

4Runner. 50' from road, didn't know how deep, was new in town and didn't know anyone yet.
