Use Caulking Gun to Fill Transmission and Differential

[19Fordy]

Just thought of this yesterday and thought it might help folks make the messy job of filling your trans. and diff. with gear oil, etc. Also steering box with corn head grease, etc. Works great. You can"squirt" the gun at any angle.

1.Remove the plastic end cap plunger from empty caulking tube and clean out the insides of both nice and clean. I used gasolene.
2. Cut spout so it has a 3/8 in. ID.
3. Screw in 3/8 dia. bolt just a few threads to prevent any leaking.
4. Pour gear oil into cleaned out caulking gun. It holds 15 oz.
5.Insert plastic plunger.
6. Insert cartridge in caulking gun, unscrew bolt and pull the trigger to fill.
7. Remove plastic plunger through the spout with 1/8 dia. rod, wooden dowel or long thin screwdriver.
Empty can was used to support cartridge. Use different cartridges for specific lubricants.
