So anyone found an easy way to pump the oil to the gears and trans without an little hand pump?
I was going to build a PVC tube with end caps and ball valve with a hose and air fitting then just fill it hit it with a little air and open the valve to let the oil out.
I'm sick of the little hand pumps you got to hit 1000 times and the electric or crank pumps you loose a lot of oil in the pump. No real room on the tow rig to get in there with a bottle and hose plus the redline oil has a small cap that will not fit to anything.
 
diff

I bought a tube (12") that screws on to a quart oil bottle (plastic). I cut the bottom out, put a 4" hanger wire so i could hang it upside down slightly above the diff filler hole. I pour the gear oil into it from a gallon jug. When it quits flowing, I know its full.
 
I've used a buds $10 *cordless* drill powered pump with another $10 worth of vinyl tubing before to fill diffs/TCs with 90w... works pretty well if you fasten the long end into the supply and have the drill/pump underneath with you. Variable speed cordless works well when your near the full mark.

Once your done, remove the drill, hang it up by the short tube (pump end) and let it all drain back into the supply can... no wasted fluid.
 
I get the tip of the gear oil bottle in the diff or trans sometimes I have to use a small piece of fuel line. Then I poke a small hole in the bottom of the bottle with a pick and use my blowgun with a rubber tip to force the fluid into the diff. you can empty a bottle in seconds. evac pumps tend to be too messy for me.
