I loathe filling a transmission or t case with the stupid pump things from the auto parts store. I made this. Works well, if not a bit slow. At least I’m not covered in gear oil.

I really like this 5-Gallon bucket set up. The hand pump came from Low's, It roles around and works great.

great options!!! I have the 5gallon one. Wanted a smaller option for trail use. The larger dia tube works great. Pull syringe to load with tube in gallon jugs and then unload. Takes a few fills. Going to place it in my trailer bag. Squeeze pouch also makes a good option for the trail.

I use the 5 gallon bucket and pump as well. It works great when the vehicle is on the lift

Did you check with the Elf’s first

@SipLife pointed me to this. Allows schrader valves to be replaced in an AC system without loosing Freon or having to evacuate/recharge. Kinda like air down tool. Just bigger. Always a plus when it comes in a case.

A contractor friend who is out in the heat all day introduced me to these. It’s amazing how it keeps sweat at bay from drenching my shirt and also keeps me cool! Worked all day in 105 deg heat and it is night and day. If the opportunity availed to rob a bank, just pull it up and roll! Neck Gaiters!

Flats fishermen know how to stay cool.
Not that I am one, I just use their technology.

Took a break from working on Kimchi (‘97 fzj80) and spent some barn time catching up on things I needed to sort out. I got this combination drill/lathe a while back. It’s been sitting on my transmission teardown table patiently. The Vevor table was also twiddling thumbs in a corner wincing at me each time I walk by. To stop the increasing twitch in my eye, I dove in. Table is stout! Basted it liberally with WD40 and placed it at its work area.

Looks like Rootbeer is winking at me as well!

Oh good god man, I need bring a hunk of metal and a 12-pack over next time I’m up.

While at SAS, the Landcruiser podcast guy jumped me and wanted to have a podcast. Parking it here for the elves to reminisce in time

A little tractor maintenance. Rear PTO seal. My other tractor is leak free which is so awesome
