Pulling irrigation pump (turbine)

Pulling 10" irrigation pump. Well was being abandoned. We pulled pump for inspection and shaft straightening. Going to reinstall and a new well in another location. Hanford, California (the central valley)

[@nicholasdial8213]

The good old days, actually kinda miss turbines

[@joemaydon7618]

Same here. Me and my co workers had a lot of fun out there. Thats what i miss the most really. The work was cool too.

[@LaFreedomMFer]

Honestly I recommend light back up chains for breaking T&S also a column plate to cover the working area and keep the T&S centered during install and remove.

Fuck yeaa Brutherrr putting it down real pumplife shit Fuck yea Salute bruthers

[@victorriceroni8455]

A winch line to tail out the pipe? How do tyou ou expect to wind up old and broke down like me, using your head instead of your back?😉

[@johnstonwaterwell8179]

Been thinking of putting spinners on my rigs. Will the break a tapered thread connection like on a submersible pump?

[@joemaydon7618]

If your talking about a pipe spinner like the one I use in the video. Then yes, it should. I've used it on submersibles before with the tapered threaded columns

[@johnstonwaterwell8179]

Ok thank you and yes. What brand are the ones in your video. Things work great.

[@joemaydon7618]

oh man I dont remember. I left the pump business over a year ago.

[@Halvarez928]

That looks like a semco pipe spinner

[@sav300]

That’s pretty sketchy not having plate on top of the column pipe. Sure the pumps being pulled but a 1 11/16 shaft will do a number in the discharge of the bowls. Also having your pipe wrench closer to over lapping gives better leverage. Good job though!

[@joemaydon7618]

Hanford California

[@gearhead3500]

what if your not a big guy can someone still do this job?

[@joemaydon7618]

I'm 5'7" and only weigh 155 pounds in this video lol

[@wildtoyou812]

Very nice set up. We didn't have a hydraulic spinner. Did the old chain tong roundy round.

[@joemaydon7618]

Yeah man that hydro wrench was nice. That was the only rig that had it. The other rigs was still roundy roundy with the chain tongs. I kind of miss it

[@joelopez8716]

I pulled a turbine this morning. But we only have the chain tongs. But we dont call it the round and round, we call it the circle jerk

[@tommellos6056]

Why does dude need a cheater bar when the other guy is using the pipe wrench without one

[@joemaydon7618]

I used it to put a bind on the brass bearing so it won't unscrew out. It makes it easier when we bring it back to the shop and inspect or replace them

[@tommellos6056]

@@joemaydon7618 makes sense. 99% sure I was drunk and youtubing in my garage when I commented that

[@kobekobe906]

A lot of hard laboring. We use a flatbed rig that to lat the pipe

[@quintondixon470]

It makes it a little easier to break the shaft if you use a come along in the end of your steel

[@kenrdz3992]

Catheads faster, or breakouts if you have a pulstar
