Take the existing caps with you to obtain replacements, as higher voltage or MFD valued units may not fit in the capacitor covers on the motor. Even the replacement brand can affect the physical size. North American physical sizes can differ between Asian and European manufacturers. It's not a good thing when you have a replacement that doesn't fit in the cover or rattles around loose inside.

Unfortunately, the only place local to get capacitors is HVAC supply houses. I will have to order the replacements. I think I know the approximate size and will use that and try to match the dimensions listed on the online vendors site.
 
We've got a Mennonite family with an electric motor shop in Tamaqua, and by the time you get to the counter they know what you have in your hand. Real close to online pricing too

I think the father is the deacon at the Mennonite church right across the street

I just noticed the start capacitor says 125V, and the run cap says 250V. Why would these be different voltages?

Because they operate at different voltages due to motor construction.
You have a start switch that opens at ___ rpm.
Submersible well motors typically have potential relays to drop the start capacitor out of the circuit.

Might not hurt to look and make sure the start switch is functioning properly before installing the new.

Try Grainger if there is one close, or Zoro. They are pretty fast at getting it to you next day.
