I tried to load an image but was unable to get it to attach so the best I could do is post the link of what the well layout is similar too. As far as I know this what the layout is so the well really doesn't have a casing so to speak or a foot valve or check valve. If it does have a casing it is buried somewhere and will have to dig around and look for it.
I know my dad did tell me when the hit the water they had a **** of a time keeping the bore open from so much water flowing out so it might have been a issue where they could only drop a sandpoint down and then the packing to save the well instead of having to plug it. I think the guy that drilled it years ago is still alive and he was friend of my dad when they were younger so it might be better for me to try and do a research with what I got before attempting any repairs.
