[AT] 10 gallon oil drain pan

[Ron Cook]

A few years ago I bought a rather expensive drain pan on casters to 
shove under my semi-tractor for changing engine oil and filter.  The 
engine holds around 10 gallons and the filter is probably close to 
another gallon.  I always had a helluva mess.  This drain pan holds 15 
gallons and solved my problem completely.  It has a drain plug. I put it 
in the loader bucket or on the forks on the loader and lift it over my 
used oil drum to empty it.  It is so handy that I use it to change oil 
in everything except the garden tractor.  A small bucket works for that 
thing.
