AIR COMPRESSOR oil pump

[Orange man hero]

I use one of these on my pick-ups. I am old and do not like getting under vehicle's. Anyone use one of these air pumps to take out oil and hydro fluid. The lower twist cap marked
OIL seems a good place for the suction pump. It's slow but works.

Sorry, but it wont do you any good to try and suck the oil out, as the cap does not directly allow access to the oil pan where all of the oil is sitting.
This is also the same for the hydraulic system.
You will need to pull plugs and drain to get the oil and hydraulic fluid out.

Sounds like it's time to call in a favour or two from family, friends, and neighbours!! Sure;y at least ONE of them can help you out,especially if you've ever used your tractor to help them.

Thanks, good to know!

I have used a hand siphon to pump oil out of a gm4.3 v6 through the dipstick tube on an old boat i used to own. My current boat has a remote line i can push out of the hulls drain plug.

I know the method of using the dipstick tube for removing engine oil from boat motors is common practice. I dont think it would work on a tractor case though.
