You ain't lying about the gearbox refill! My Morphous was just impossible to refill. I tried an automotive suction/pressure gun and succeeded in just making a mess. I figured out afterwards that some kind of squeeze bottle would be about the only thing that would fit into that crowded space.

I use a mechanical oil applicator can. It has a long thin snout making it easy to add gear oil to the tranny. You just stick the snout in the filler hole and start squeezing the trigger pump to squirt in the oil.

But for $0.84 that would do nicely in a pinch.

I use a TURKEY BASTER, yup, you heard right!
It works perfect, it's long enough, gets in tight places, and and it makes no mess whatsoever.

EDIT: For you boys who don't know what it is, it's a long tube about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and about 10 inches long. in funnels down to about a 1/8 in opening at the end and at the other, there is a squeeze ball to apply the oil.



The best tool I ever bought!
Did I mention it was 99 cents at Big Lots?

I just bought a jug of gear oil that already had a very small tip on it. I just cut off the very end of it and insert that into the fill hole. The bottle and turkey baster are pretty cool ideas though, and cheap too! Nice!
