i was looking at hand pumps. good to see that style pump in action. and even better that your dad came up with the idea to pump the weight off the truck basically. thats pretty sweet family putting your heads together right there i got a kick out of it.
for future reference - those hand crank barrel pumps dispense approx. 5 gals of product for every 70 turns of the handle or 14 turns per gallon of the product. therefore if you count the turns of the handle you know about how much product you are dispensing.
When I moving heavy items around a super cool item to have is A frame with a 2 ton hoist then you just strap the barrel up lift it drive out from under it and lower it. Good video
you probably dont care but if you're bored like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all the new series on InstaFlixxer. Have been streaming with my brother these days =)
I would not use this pump for water. I might suggest one of those shaker siphon hoses for transferring water. Get the one made for water and not the one made for gasoline.
I looked at getting a harbor freight pump, but after all the bad reviews I bought a FillRite on eBay for $177. So on those barrel lids, if you take some channel locks & open them all the way open you can open those caps without.a screw driver.
I set up four 55 gal drums in a brace one a small 20 ton trailer I built on house moving axles that I bought as scrap along with other equip. ☺️. It’s 8 ft wide, padded, bedded with 12 inches of liter absorbent and covered for safety. But I digress.... I bought the harbor freight pump which is cast iron and it rusted tight in one season. I went to my farm store and bought the large heavy duty Fill-Rite Manual Piston Pump (sale $149.99 / reg. $189.99) -one for gas and one for diesel. And have got years of service. Dad recommended these first but I HAD to save money and I knew ‘better’! If you ever wear it out there are rebuild kits that take 1/2 hour with nasty arthritis and shaking hands to install. Penny pinchers aren’t always dollar smart and spend-thrifts will meet a bad end.
how long did it take for it to be managable? I use an electric pump but have 2 hand crank (same ones you have) new in boxes for saving.Just curious how much time effort before manageable for you and your father?
+working2Bselfsufficient Somewhere in the 20 -30 minute range. It could have been done much faster but, making a video does slow thing down a bit, had to find my 30 gallon drums and get set up. Harbor Freight advertises their pump at 10 gpm. I did not get in any hurry and we measured @7-8gpm. So I would say that we had about 6 minutes of total pumping time with low effort.
+homesteadprepper Thank you.As I said I haven't used mine the electric is too easy but have them new in boxes still for a day I will need them.One of those things when you have a homestead you will need them one day and I make sure if there's a non electric manual version get a couple and keep them they will be used or just get more expensive and inconvenient to have to get if you can get them when needed.
I watched this video and I saw nothing. I saw him turn the handle. I heard some noises but I never saw a single drop of anything go anywhere. I wanted to actually SEE it move fluid. Instead, I'm like Sgt. Shultz - I SAW NOTHING.
+jasonmushersee Yep, that is about what I was paying for the 5gallon pails. It is too bad we are so far apart. We could have shared the cost and got 27.5gallons each for $162.50 out the door. We could have argued over who gets the big orange drum. lol

Its nice to have your dad around to help.
+acet7 I nearly lost him twice. I consider myself very blessed. Thanks.

@Abdullah Magnus definitely, been using instaflixxer for since november myself =)
Would these be suitable for transferring potable water? One look at those little plastic ones and it’s quite obvious they’re not meant to last.

@@homesteadprepper appreciate the info. 👍

I have the same kind of hand pump on my 400 gallon kerosene tank and they are amazing. Always listen to the old man.
+Pops Quest Brother, you got that right, the old man knows his shit!
How price
A good way to transfer
+buzzsah Cheap and reliable with no wires to get tangled up!

I might have to invest in one of those it could come in handy, I'd like to stock up on some more diesel fuel.
+rchopp They are pretty cheap/durable and with the 25% off coupon it makes it a deal.
Thanks
Should just make a PVC siphon
how much did that cost?
I think I paid $29.99 for the newer one and the older one that I bought years ago was @ $14.99.
Use a used tire put the drum on its side then. Let it fall on the tire. Easy

Wow $6/gallon! I'm paying $11 from the local gas station for universal hydraulic oil.
+jasonmushersee Yep, that is about what I was paying for the 5gallon pails.

stuff is cheaper if you buy in bulk, I buy most of my farm needs in bulk. cost more at initial purchase but works out cheaper in the long run
What do u call that pump?
Ii need a pump like this but can't find one anywhere. They're not on H.F. site.
+catseatcheese Northern Tools sells something similar.
