swarfeater 49 #1 Posted July 10, 2013 The septic tank clogged. Had to find it,dig it out so it could be pumped out. Too big of a job for the 312-8 so i had to get out big blue (for me anyway), my Ford 1910 12 speed with shuttle shift. I put the tank in about 40 years ago and kinda remembered where it was, my first dig missed by about 5 feet, 2nd hole was right on top. Nasty nasty job i really do not want to repeat, but the wife is quite happy to have a working toilet again (4 days without one). So anyway, Little Red got a rest.

KC9KAS 4,741 #2 Posted July 10, 2013 Glad you got your septic problem fixed. There is an old joke about the body parts all saying they were the most important, but in the end, (the END) was the most important! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeff-C175 7,199 #6 Posted July 10, 2013 This is the first time you've had the tank open in 40 years? Ummmmm... no wonder it backed up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
