If it really is 1,5" add another 28 pounds.

It cost me $400 labor to have my pump replaced. The well pipe comes in
20 ft threaded sections. It takes special equipment to lift, uncouple,
and couple the pipe without dropping the pump. Do you want to rely on
the wiring to save the pump if something goes wrong with the jerry-rig.
Let the pros do it.

This one looks like it is on PVC pipe. I bet they are 20' bell end
sections of pipe solvent welded together and they just fed it down the
hole. When you are pulling it up, the end will flop over, water will
run out and it will get lighter as it comes up.
I haven't tried it but my buddy says if you snake an air hose down
that pipe, you can blow all the water right out. Then you are only
bringing up empty pipe and the pump.
Just be sure you have the air pressure set pretty low to start and
bring it up. You don't want to shock the bottom of the pipe. Once it
starts you will have an "Old Jed's a millionaire" gusher going.

That is the kind of pump I am thinking of putting in... Run the
compressor a couple times a week and fill the 250 gallon tank in the
basement. They are becoming more popular in dry areas and can be run
with a lot less power than a 3/4 horse, 240v pump..

I bet it is not that much less. You still bump up against physics.

Yeah, and I can't afford a learning curve..
