I would love to hear a 10yr old ask that same question now days. It would absolutely amaze me to no end!

Not bragging but I have four of those oilers. I really enjoyed taking them apart and replacing gaskets as needed. I know it was unnecessary, but I buffed every one of them, polished with Brasso and labeled each for it's intended purpose. I enjoyed this great video, and as usual, look forward to the next video.

You don't see any O-rings because they had just been invented in the US, 1937. There was an earlier European patent but they wouldn't start to become widespread until the US gov't yoinked the patent for WW2. When I learned that some years ago, that as a species we had made it that far technologically without o-rings, it took my breath away. Unbelievable. First time here, someone shared your video on hacker news. I'm loving this Mr. Pete! Thank you for sharing this with everyone!

Picked up an Eagle Number 58 pump oiler today at... you guessed it, an antique store. $25. Seen heavy use, no paint left on it. Cleaned it up, filled it (careful not to overfill it as per Lyle) and it shoots oil across the room. Looks great on my lathe.

You beat Adam to it.

When I moved to Indiana 8 years ago, acquired a Bridgeport, a Rockford Engine lathe circa 1947, I saw your video mentioning The Eagle 66 oil can. I immediately began to haunt the local junk shops, antique stores and began to acquire Brass Eagle 66 oil cans. I now have 9 of them not counting a complete 66 that has a ruined bottom can, but perfect remaining parts. I love them all. Two of them are dedicated to tapping fluid, two to way oil, and one to synthetic oil. I made thin leather gaskets for the pump assembly, the spout and for the lids that have lost their gaskets. My wife has her items to look for and we both like to spend an afternoon searching antique/junk stores, surprisingly she has spotted Eagle 66s for me before I saw them. Thanks for giving me my obsession.

I never had an appreciation for the Eagle 66. They were at virtually every work station in our shop, and I gave them little regard. CNC machines have little need for hand oilers. Adam Booth has raised my attention and you have as well. Now that I am messing around with vintage machinery in my home shop, I am gaining an appreciation for hand oilers. Auto lube systems and sealed bearings must have ruined me. I struggle to even remember to oil or grease anything.

Goldenrod oil cans are still made in the US and are readily available. As far as the Wizard of Oz goes, those sound effects get recorded once and recycled ad inifinitum. There was a nice video on the Technology Connections channel that discussed the standard ringing phone. You can hear the audio artifacts from a vinyl record in the ring, even in very recent movies that have an actual Western Electric model 500 phone in the video. It was less trouble to dub in a 2nd/3rd/nth generation copy, re-recorded from an phonograph, than to simply ring the phone on the set. I suspect you have more than five years left in you.

Mr. Pete. I myself am an oil can enthusiast myself. I have maybe 60 different types but Sir I must say I have never heard of the 66. I will be looking for one now. I also have several way oilers that have a valve stem on it so you can pressurize it with an air compressor. I am guessing it may be an antique because even the spray nozzle is made of brass not plastic like a regular spray bottle that you would use to spray such as windshield washer fluid when hand washing a window. I have the ones that you flip upside down just like the one you asked about the tin man. I did subscribe as a retired shop teacher I would bet you have forgotten more than I will ever know. Absolutely loved this video especially when you use drawings. I spent my career as a Quality Engineer/ Manager/Engineer for process and production.

I have purchased a couple "golden rod" made in USA cans from Tractor Supply and McMaster, they are good quality. One tip, to get increased pressure re-seat the ball check valve at the bottom of the oil pick-up. Disassemble the pump, and use a brass rod and a light tap with a hammer to seat the ball into the zinc casting. This will give the pump enough increased pressure to fill the most stubborn ball oilers. This is only necessary if there is a lot of back pressure on the machine oiler you are trying to fill (my clausing 5900 lathe oilers).

Thank you for the education on those oil cans. Until your video I'd honestly never seen an Eagle 66 oil can like those. I've seen and have several different oil cans as well, but never have seen or had the Eagle 66, now you got me looking for one.

The check valve arrangement on the oiler is the same type of system as you'll find on a vehicle's mechanical fuel pump used to supply fuel to the carbeuretor. Fuel pumps for fuel injection are now electric and commonly located in the fuel tank. Today's fuel injection systems require higher pressures than the older mechanical pumps could easily produce.

I have one of those eagle bottom thumpers. It was in the utility trailer when it was given to me. Only just recently wiped the grunge from it to find out the brand. I use a "new" Goldenrod for bearing lube on the lathe & shaper, it was made in Hastings, NE. I have to be careful with that one if it is cold in the shop, the pump handle can easily be deformed. Drilling/cutting oil is a pump oiler of unknown origin ... purchased when I needed a way to apply the prescribed mix of 10 weight and kerosene to a rigid cylinder hone. That one has been the most neglected/abused, lost & found (usually full of water) more times than I could count, yet if you clean it out and put fresh oil in it, it pumps like the day it was new. I think they all have a tiny little hole in the bottom, because they always need to be re-filled sooner than expected, and always under the most inconvenient circumstances.

Very nice. These are my favourite type for most things. I have never been a fan of the Plews type. There were several other varieties of 66, including one with an adjustable stop for the plunger for when small, precise quantities are needed. On the 66's that I have, the knurled portion around the pump stem is for adjusting a packing.

I machined a heavy brass base for mine which has a steel disc soldered into the recess, then i put rare earth magnets in the can, works really well to keep it upright. These do come up on ebay from time to time but are now very expensive! Cheers, Alan.

I have owned a few of these for nearly 45 years. They are great oilers for all the reasons that you mentioned. I wonder if you know how the atmospheric air pressure that is required to push the oil into the partial vacuum created in the pump gets into the brass tank. It seems sealed well enough that the oiler would stop charging itself after a certain number of pumps. That's what happens in a power hydraulic system if the filter mesh in the fill cap gets plugged up and the pump cavitates. Another interesting fact that you may be unaware of is the fact that, in his book titled, "Steal This Book", Abby Hoffman, the Yippy party leader and revolutionary of the 1960s explained how to convert this very oiler into a pocket flame thrower. Don't know if it worked or not, but he sure put it in his book. Love your videos.
