Pulling a pump from a well.

[beltbreaker]

Our one is 70m down on 50mm, in the spring the sandstone above it collapsed and we ended up with the Merlo trying to lift it out. Eventually the stainless steel cable snapped and the 50mm came out the top of the pump so now the pump is 60m in the ground. We have had it out 4 times in the last 20 odd years each time using the telehandler as a guide and 2 of us lifting it out of the borehole.

with ours you take the roof off, stand up 3 telephone poles, hang the chain blocs up.
then there is a clamp an a real pair of stillsons with a scaffold pipe ready fer any tight joints.
tis a bit tedious but ok if you can gecon somebody to pull the chain
