Guys, I'm sorry. The forum members have helped me out so much with my own 8N repair issues on soooooo many occasions, I can't count. I wanted to share and pay back this forum by showing one of my cobbled together contraptions that has virtually solved the inconvenient problems I had with my Pond Scoop that wouldn't dump without major stress being involved. Now it works smooth as butter all of the time with no stress and no looking back to see what's going on. I must have early onset dementia 'cause I can't post photos on this site to save my life. I' know I'm close to getting it ( Ed, please see my response to your post in the message below) In the meantime, please go to "Photobucket", Ron8173 then look up "Pond scoop trip mechanism" then the album. The first 2 images of the rusty one is the first Idea I had which worked, but not in all circumstances so I discarded it. The other pics show the contraption I use now and it works ALL the time. I know it's not rocket science, but this simple modification has really improved the efficiency of the pond scoop in a very big way for me.
P.S.,
I'd really appreciate Ed or someone reading my last message back to Ed (below) and helping me get over that last remaining hump preventing me from posting pics on this site as I have other things I'd like to share with the members here..
Thanks all,
Ron
