I Am An Idiot, Or A Slow Learner: Hand Oil Pump for Diff and Trans fluid changes
The best 40 bucks I have ever spent was on a hand pump gear oil pump yesterday from Tractor Supply. It has a lid that fits on a five gallon bucket, and the pump slides in thru the lid.
With the old way, the diff's and t-case weren't bad, but I either had to pull the shifter, or use a funnel and a long hose to fill the trans on my 89. I change my fluids a little more frequently than recommended.
With two 4x4 trucks to maintain, this pump is a real time saver, and not as messy.
Wish I would have bought one 15 years ago.
Now when winter rolls around I won't have to keep the gear oil in the house when I have to change gear oil.
OK, I get excited over little things.

If you are on a budget they sell ones that screws on to a gallon jug .They look like a condiment pump for mustard with a hose. The biggest problem is the gear oil needs to be warm to work good. I have used one for years, but I want to get one of the good ones some day.

Wyoming9 it can get in the high teens here sometimes, not near often enough for me.
Swampfox I looked at those, and then made one, and it worked ok but took forever to fill a diff.
