If you have air, it might be worth trying to get as much water out of

I am not sure about where the water comes out. Down here the water
would come up the pipe in your picture. It doesn't freeze here. If you
are coming out 4' below grade, you will have to dig that out and cut
it before you can do anything

Yeah, that's what I figured... that's gonna' be a bitch.

Where did the pipe coming out the top go?

I don't know yet...

There is a chance that was the output.
You could try dropping a line down it and see if it goes to the pump.

I am reasonably sure it's attached to the main line but it must be
closed off at the tee. Being in CT the one thing I do know is I am going
to find a pipe at least 4 feet down going the 35 foot run to the
basement where it comes through the foundation. If it were open, the
pressure from the pump would shoot the water out of the ground there
instead of pumping up the pressure tank. But again, I don't doubt it's
connected.
