I live in Florida and had a submersible pump go bad at my parents old house (they are deceased now) where my college age kids live. My well guy wanted $1250 to replace it. I just don't have it, so I figured I would do it myself. That was probably my first mistake, LOL! Anyway to the problem, I used an electric chain hoist on a small boom to pull the pump. As it started coming up I saw that it was 1 1/4" galv. pipe, yeah heavy! As it came up I was sawing off sections about every 10', I had three sections cut off and as we pulled more it froze up and would not come any further. So I tried to drop it back down and try again. It wouldn't drop down. I tried drivinig it down with a hammer. Nope! Now I'm stuck! I don't know what can be holding this thing that tight! Any, and I mean ANY, ideas on what's going on and what can be done from here?
