Put the Boom on the tractor yesterday might pull a 405 ft deep well pump with it today? Welded a set up to hold the pipe with the winch cable and to hold it at the top of the casing while re/hooking the cable to the pipe. Calculated the weight at 160 lbs per 100 ft or around 450-500 lbs with water distribution removed from the weight at the beginning of the lift. Once I get some up it will get lighter and will be using my winch to lift with and the remote so I can watch the well closer. I have my 1000 lb scale to see how close I am to figuring the weight and to make sure I am not over loading the boom busting it loose from the casing. First I will do test lift for weight and then pull 20 ft up at a time and cut off the old pipe as it comes out. Going to install Heavy Wall Poly Pipe easier to install back in the casing and get out later! Put my pump in with poly pipe 24 years ago and still working great and I can pull it up by hand since my water table is high and helps with 30% 0f the weight to lift. I will take pictures of the process when I do it. This job will pay for all the materials I used to build it with!!

400+ foot wells are common in my area. I got very lucky with mine and hit 19gal/min @180feet. I believe the well was over drilled down to 200' for sedimentation.
I've been wondering how I would go about trying to replace my well pump when I need to. Pictures of your setup would be handy to see. Where did you get the tool for the pitless adaptor.
