check valve in old well?

Posted by mmidlam on July 27, 2012 at 18:44:31 from (209.172.22.130):

Springs have dried up, need to start pumping water for the cattle. I have a 1 1/4" windmill well with a leaky check valve about 10 feet down, water comes up to 6 feet below ground level....I would like the valve out out so I have more flow and easier priming with an electric pump. How are the check valves constructed? How hard is it to break the valve and let the pieces drop? I am thinking of using a bar attached to a chain to hit it. I think the pipe is too rusty and weak to pull.
