Viewing a thread - handling gear oils...

How do you guys get gear oils into hard to reach places? Changing the oil in my drive wheel hubs on my mt855c and I make a mess... similar to changing hub oil on my sprayer. My issue is that the holes to get the oil into are quite small... normally through a fairly small allen screw hole. The holes are normally fairly deep also so unless you can reach all the way inside you get oil that wants to seep out. I like the syringe type tubes but they have an end that is to big. Even if they fit the hole they don't let air out around them and you just force pressure into the cavity and then it seeps oil worse.

This is a little more i paid for something similar but they do work well for our hard to get into areas. You can rig up any size hose to get into the smallest plugs and adjust the valve to slow it down as much as needed

When I change that oil on our 765, I measure the oil out then use a regular oil can with the thumb or hand pump. I bought one that I only use for this purpose. It probably takes a little longer to get the oil in the hub but it makes no mess.

I did that when I changed the gearbox oils underneath my cornhead and I could not find a thumb can that squirted enough each pump... my thumb was dead and killing me after 2-3 lol! I normally like to use the quart jugs with the tapered bottle caps you trim off but they don't always fit the hole well or have room to tip and squeeze them.

That would work great if you had a lot of things that used the same oil. I need to get a master list of all the oils I need for everything and see if I can't simplify things down a bit. I am switching my oils over to Cenex so hopefully I can stock some oils for multiple applications.

Use the quart jugs also just refill them works i guess.

Pail pump is all I ever use.

I modified a small propane tank to dispense gear oil. Use air pressure to force oil out a dispensing hose. With a very small hose barb on the end of the dispensing hose, you can put gear oil into pretty much anything.

I was just referring to the small holes that are used to fill the drive wheel hubs. I agree you wouldn't want to use the thumb pump cans for bigger application but this one use I don't mind it and it saves cleaning up a mess.

For cat hubs I use this or this would work too For gearboxes I have one of these, you can buy different color and size containers. Not cheap but work good.

True. They only hold about .4gal each side so its not that much. The bogey wheels I think hold like .1 gal so those would be no problem for the good old thumb can!

Those Fluid Defense pumps aren't cheap but they look like the ticket! I just might order me a couple of those!

I used a similar pressurized tank to service pivot gearboxes. Pretty much the best option after a dedicated air pump, reel and meter. These tanks are cheaper than a dedicated pump/hose reel and a lot cleaner than messing around with bottles, funnels / tubing.

Did that same thing with a freon can upside down, also have a simple gallon pump up plastic hand sprayer for different oil, truck tranny and some others are hard to get to without a hose, and much less mess!

In tight places this is what I use, it works on quarts and gallon containers and the price is right.

I got a couple water type fire extinguishers at an auction once, and they are PERFECT for this. Each hold a 2 1/2 gallon jug of gear lube, and you can pressurize the tank with air via a Schrader valve on top. The ones I have are sort of like this:

I buy our gears oils in 120#/16gal kegs and use these pumps with various adapters on the ends to reach where needed. Before these I used a nearly idententical pump on 5 gallon pails.
