This could have made for a long afternoon, rode all the way through the pipes of our 43m until stopping in the reducer.. 

  Still scratching my head wondering how it went through the pipe without getting stuck..should have bought a powerball ticket after that job..

the pump gods favor u.  keep that pump clean

Awesome! Could have been terrible!

How'd it get through the grate???

   Parris, I was wondering the same thing. I was running a 5-4 reducer with a 3 1/2 inch hose on the end. I was pumping very slow, just taking it easy when I heard a couple bangs, I wasn't sure what it was so I just kept pumping. About 2 strokes later, I heard the bangs again, now I knew something wasn't right. I slowed the pump just a bit, then the hose stop flowing mud. I knew It was clogged, pulled the reducer and there it was. I run a tight grate when pouring with the 3 1/2, but it jumped through a little spot right by the vibrator, should have bought a powerball ticket that night. 

that thing smells like sabatoge, its so big!!
