Any suggeatioms on cheap sub $50 options for making transfer case and differential fill ups easier?

Years back, I worked at a trucking company and in the shop we had a small (1-2 gallon) portable gear oil dispenser. It was hand cranked and small enough to carry and get on/under trucks where it was needed. I have been searching for one to use in my shop but I have not located one yet.

Good luck in your search. I will be watching closely too for my shop.

I've used one of those large (12") metal syringes with a piston. And also used gear oil gallon bottles sold with a little manual pump that fits directly on the neck.

I dont use a pump. I find those plastic pumps that screw into the jug are pretty crappy, and the quality one are expensive and usually the good ones sit on a 5 gallon bucket.

I'll buy a gallon of gear lube and 1 quart bottle too. I have a spout with a flexible hose that screws on the quart bottle. I fill the qt bottle then tip and squeeze it. I tip it a bit so I'm not pushing air. I'll use the same qt bottle for several years some times. It can get a little oily.

I buy gear oil by the 5gal pail and use a standard pail/bucket lever pump to transfer oil into diffs and tcases. I swapped the hose with a longer one so that I can pump from the side of the vehicle on the ground vs laying under the vehicle. Each stroke delivers a decent amount of oil and the effort is minimal. Even laying under the vehicle on a creeper, this process won't bother your shoulders/arms.

LOL, that's how I refill the ATF through the dipstick tubes and it works a treat!
