LOL, OK not funny, but I have been there and done that.

Only my dirtiest oldest and ready for trash shirt is used for that chore.
When I drain my tractor it always pours onto the sub frame and and just goes everywhere in spite of any and all the tricks tried.
My best friend to date is the old turkey roasting pan as it gets most of the spills but no matter how careful I am I always end up with a dyed black shirt sleeve.

Sorry about the transmission oil, it probably needed a change? Be aware to remove all used oil from skin and hands carefully. It is hazardous to your health.Check the glovebox for the manual on capacity of oilpans..Be nice to DAD for trying to help... Jy.

Yes the transmission fluid had 25k miles so it was almost time anyway. The main problem is how I slid under there like a master mechanic and made a mess and came out bathed in oil. I was giving him so much crap and laughing at him and when I had a face full of oil he almost had to drag me out by my heels because I had my eyes shut TIGHT. By the time I scurried out he already had the towels ready. I guess I am lucky to have a 66 year old helper who is not just willing but able to slither under a truck and pull any drain plug even if it is the wrong one.

Some guys came to take my old excavator to the scrap yard. The main arm was stuck in the up position which was great for moving it and loading it onto a trailer{had to use another ex} but it had to come down for transport. The operator hooked{using the thumb}his bucket onto the arm so it wouldn't slam down when the other guy pulled the plug on the bottom of the cylinder. Well the bucket slipped and down came the arm shooting the plug and oil out like a bullit. Luckily the plug missed the helper but he did get covered by a couple of gal's of hydro fluid.

Seems like it takes a long timedays and many showers} to get that oil out of the skin after one is covered.
