2nd Pulling the Pump

This is pulling a well pump from a 250 ft well with the use of a hand made jig and pick-up truck. Saved $1,000 worth of work which is what it cost the last time some one was paid to do the work. At that time they also shorted the pipe by 20ft reducing the amount of water available. We added 20 ft of pipe to fix that problem.

The radios didn't work, so it was hard for those at the well to communicate speed with the truck which. We recommend using radios, but a 4wd in low range to better control the speed.

A piece of pipe with was threaded into the pitless adapter. A tee was put at the top of the pipe so it could not fall back into the well as it was to wide. A rope was tied to it and hooked to my pickup truck. I suggest using a cell phone with the truck driver instead of someone trying to relay speed as you can hear from the video.

The jig is just scrap wood that was lying around. Two car rims were used as pulleys on pipes with plywood centers bolted to the lugs to act as bearings.

would have liked to seen the prep for this. What did you connect the rope to? A list of items you bought for the jig? Is there another rim at the top of the jug? Nice job overall though
