Two-Wheeled Oil Caddy
 ✖  |
Tim Renger, Bancroft, Iowa: “Changing oil on my 4-WD tractor was always one of the messiest and most back-wrenching jobs on the farm until my friend Mark Bauer came up with this two-wheeled oil caddy. Now I can wheel the cart under the tractor, reach under to remove the plug and drain the oil without spilling a drop.
“Bauer built the 24-in. tall caddy from an empty oil drum, a few pieces of scrap iron and two steel wheels. The 30-gal. oil drum was cut in half. He used the half-moon shaped end from another barrel for a baffle to keep oil from splashing back and forth when the caddy is moved.
“The extra long handles work really well to position the cart under my 4-WD tractor, which has a large fertilizer tank on front. A metal spigot on the wheeled end makes it easy to fill pails or jugs without spilling a drop.”
