Bucket top oil pump

[illflem]

I have a couple of these manual pumps where the pump base replaces the lid on a five gallon bucket, use them for gear and hydraulic oil. Problem is I need one more and can't find a source for under $150, I paid around $30 for mine and they work great. Anyone with a lead?

check out Groenveld in New Brunswick, Ohio. That is where I got mine for the Grease. They only ship COD, though. (amish - won't take credit cards or checks)

Wow, I get to help Bill out. That's a red letter day in my book.

Thanks gitch! Just order it. I thought those guys would have one but you know how it is to find something in their catalogs, their website isn't much better...



Can't for the life of me figure out how a similar looking Lincoln brand setup can be can be worth $160 more.



These pumps are much better than trying to pour out of a five gallon container, especially if you are under a rig. A trick I use on mine is to leave the lid on the bucket and just cut a hole for the pump in the center, keeps fluid from sloshing down the side while carrying a full bucket. Cover the whole thing with an old pillow case to keep the dust out. New one is going to be for premix anti-freeze.

Yeah, we used them alot on the last job for PMing tank mixers. We would also cut the hole in the middle besuase most of the time the bucket was riding in the back of the truck through some rough terrain.

I'm thinking of ordering one myself and start buying oil by the 5 gallon bucket.
