Not mechanical, but one of the worst jobs I ever did was going down into the east cell house at the then Joliet Prison after a sewage pipe broke and over a period of time flooded it with about a million gallons of raw sewage, which is why all of the phones went dead. The open cable got flooded and shorted out. I went out there, knew about the splice down under the cell house. They opened the hatch to the basement, and there was raw sewage almost completely up to the floor, and the basement was 10 feet deep. I'm guessing the length of about 300' and a width of about 100' by 10' deep. That's a lot of raw sewage and I told them no way, pump it and clean it out. I came back the next day, they had it pumped out, but not cleaned. I suited up in boots, rain gear, rubber gloves and went down into the biggest septic tank I can imagine, found the splice, cleaned and redid it as best I could, got the phones working. Lots and lots of mosquitoes down there. I figured I'd come down with hepatitis or AIDS if one of them had bitten on of the infected inmates before biting me. All in all, was one crappy job.

Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
