Change your own oil

Do a google search, those systems are expensive

 

A new 5 gallon bucket with a 1” ball valve with a turn down sits on my front valve cover nicely. Position turn down in fill hole and pour out of what ever you want. If I pull it in the shop I have my 250 gallon tanks and air pumps from my old shop in town. I’m not buying that much at time and filling them with buckets is as big a mess for me as drums. I have drain pans we built with wagon handles and casters. A air trash pump to put em in storage tanks. A 1/2 inch bolt ground to a point welded to a piece of 1” square tubing to punch the oil filters and drain them. Use it like a fulcrum on the spring. I still have the 30 gallon drum of grease and air gun. You can write your name on the ceiling with it…..doesn’t matter what I use there it’s a freakin mess. Oil change every other Sunday and try not to miss a Sunday at greasing it if we’re running. Growing up it was a tire and light if it just left the shop and come back. 5k miles was grease and brake adjustment and check the boxes. 10k was full service. 50k was overhead and I think we dumped the boxes at 250. Then friggin little round bulbs in the lights you was always fiddling with them. You best not put a set of brake shoes on and let Dad catch bad s-cam bushings or a drum a waste of money as you didn’t get the wear you should outta shoes and that got you in a bind no matter who your mama was. In board drums on all them old Barrett’s and Great Danes Isuzu engines on the motor wagons Tuesday after school was tire day. We had enough spares mounted if we had a couple tires to put on over the weekend we just put tire and wheel on that was already mounted to save time. Same with flats if we could match tread depth. Then on Tuesday’s we dismounted and remounted everything we had taken off. It was can to can’t till every one them sonsabitches was ready to go. Oh we was talking bout oil changes sorry I got distracted
