A couple points to verify. The inspector told us that the drop from the 4" we put in, to the main tie in at the sidewalk needed to have an angled tie in, not direct 90's . It's hard to tell in the picture, but there's two 45 degree elbows and a 4' piece of green pipe where it makes the transition. We used a transit to maintain the 1/4" per foot drop from the house to the sidewalk. We also removed the old cleanout cap that's viewed in the final pic. A new cleanout was installed around the backside of the house. The inspector was totally happy and signed the permit. Oops was also called prior to the digging
And the cub only used 1/2 tank of fuel from start to finish-----you can't beat that.

Looks like a good day with some excellent seat time.
See you at the Bash.

Rick:
You know that I am totally in agreement with this statement:

You have always been the inspiration to see what my Cubs can do. Every time I go to Princess and see the backhoe attachment that they have -
Prospector Towable Excavatoror this one:
Shur-Lift 3 Point Hitch ExcavatorI drool and then the next thing is I am trying to figure out how I would mount em up to one of my Cubs. It is just the price that is a killer. Been thinking about looking for one off of a small Kioti. Man, the things I could do around here with a backhoe Cub .. I already have the loader

For those of you who have never seen a backhoe Cub, here is what Rick was using. A very neat machine.

I have seen it in action (digging a stump) and it is truly an impressive feat of engineering! Very, very cool Cub!

Yep Larry, I remember it well. Wow - that was 7 years ago!

I think there may be a number on it ($$), but it's probably one of those...... if you have to ask, you can't afford it.
Very limited edition!
