Pat, my favorite throne just leaked water on the floor again. I want to have a plummer trouble shoot and hopefully fix it permanently. Looking for a recommendation. i live between Lake Sangchris and Edinburg. Would appreciate a recommendation, or maybe you roam this far East. Thanks If you can do it maybe PM me your company name, phone No?

Steve, I thought about that, but it just would not be the same with the demise of the Sears and Wards catalogs. |

Depends where it's leaking. Some leaks are not very hard to fix. Ours here in Florida leaked not very long after we got here this fall. One of the bolts that hold the tank to the stool was not very tight, and my wife bumped it and it started leaking. I drained all the water out and added a little sealant to the rubber washer/gasket and put it back together, the nut firmly. No more leaks. ------------- 917 H, '48 G, '65 D-10 series III "Allis Express" |

Dave... if it continues to leak after you have changed the gasket / seals a couple times.. i wonder if you have a hairline CRACK in the stool ..... bowl or tank ? ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |
