Just brute force and unscrew the wiring conduit as she comes up. Replace pump.
Lower in and start threading in the conduit as it goes dwn .
Dexterity depends on how far dwn it is.
Ask your neighbor how deep his is?

I say crane, it was similar to what you'd see on the back of and old fashioned tow truck, but taller. And the 2 guys that came out both looked like they were in their 60s, so I think they've moved away from "couple of guys pull it up" and on to "work smarter not harder".
We don't really have any neighbors. There's a house next door, but they have been living in FL almost the entire year for the past two years. They were here for a week or two recently because their 50-something year old son passed away. We have 2 neighbors another way. I've never met them.
There's a website for our county where you can view a map, and get the details about the wells that are listed on the map. We are roughly in the middle (to the left of "Borden") of the various green dots (residential wells) on this map. All of the green dots are 100'-200' except 6619606 which is listed as 357'. My guess is that we're somewhere in the 100-200' range. We'll have some guys coming out when they can fit us in to replace the foot valve in our well. I'll ask them for as much info as they can provide, so we should have a better idea after that.
