Anyone have recommendations for a decent pump that fits the typical 5 gallon hydraulic oil buckets? I'm tired of spilling it trying to pour into strange funnels that reach the fill points on my tractors.
Thanks

The Northern Tool oil extractor pump should do it. I used it to pump diesel from my 5 gallon container to avoid having to lift it up onto the hood. It worked one time to extract hot oil from the Mz3 but would not work on the Mx5 because the hot oil caused a tiny leak in the seals. Seals were fine for pumping the cold diesel out of the container.

Jeez, they have a lot of stuff there. I see a couple of things that might work for me. I'm actually looking for a hand pump that fits into a 5 gallon hyd oil container to pump it into tractors. So more of a transfer pump I guess.

+1 on the northern pump - have one and use it lots. Good to pump oil into tractors, etc. - it has a hose and a J hook on the end.

I also use XP Optilube and bought their 5 gal pail kit with a pump Pump works very well for that stuff (kinda slimy and a little thin, and oh ya, stinky). 2 minutes of searching turns up the pump alone on amazon

The Northern pump has served me well for many years. I used it pump hydraulic fluid, bar oil, gear lube.

I've used this 12v pump for diesel and changing the 10 gal of hydraulic fluid for years. It's so cheap, I actually bought 2 thinking it might burn up after pumping the hydraulic oil, but no issues at all.
It has a 3/4" outlet, so it fills my 9 gallon diesel tank in about a minute.

Still have the 2nd one, new in the box, in a cabinet in the garage.

Might give the Tractor supply item a shot .... that way I can leave the pail top sealed ... plus, space is at a premium and it wouldn't take up much room.

Excellent suggestions, thanks folks.
