What to use for lid on oil lube barrels?

[Drenalin_Ag99]

Anybody have experience with the oil lube barrells,I dont like the lid on them, I installed a turnbuckle so I can hang. Looked at hd and lowes but no good ideas yet. Its clean and ready (without a lid), any suggestions?

Karl has lids that will drop right on.

Are you referring to the 15 gal grease barrels or 55 gallon drums? Either way, I think Monarch makes a drop on lid for either. Or Karl.

the small 15 gallon ones, they look more like 10-12 gallons. oh yeah who is Karl?

Ok I looked at both websites but they only have 30 gallon lids?

I use metal oil changing pans. I drill 2 holes at the edge, one on each side, and use HD bungees to hold it on. The bungee goes in the hole and stretches to the lip of the barrel bottom.

There you go, Doc. Keep it simple.

Okay - I know what you're needing now. I used a 10 gallon galvanized trash can lid. Fits perfect.
