Well pump dead need advice:

The pros use a wheeled tripod that draws the pipe
out of the well. They unscrew a joint, the wheels
run up another length and so on. Slick.
Not cheap, but slick.

You mean the line to your pump is steel pipe sections - I doubt it? If it is it needs to be updated to black high density 200 pound plastic.

Yep, original install was steel pipe. They replaced it with plastic.
The pipe was 42 years old so it,or the pump,was soon to fail.
They did a real nice job.

When u test across wires are u getting continuity ? Or are u not getting a reading at all
