Hog oiler

I'm sure you're right, but aren't hogs oily enough already? Obviously I've never really been around hogs.

The oil was to help with skin problems. Before anti biotics, and modern chemicals.

I was around one time when hogs were castrated, they poured diesel fuel on the incision. Guess they has done it that way for years. Did they use used motor oil in the hog oilers? Just wondering, gobble

Hog oiler, oil was used to treat for lice.

Greg K · Apr 10, 2013

Now they are self oiling. The hog oilers are for the antique hogs that required oiling.

we used iodine on the incision and whatever oil we had for oiler. used motor oil is the best thing i ever saw to cure mange on a dog too.

Are you supposed to fill that up with baby oil and take it to your
next orgy?

ShadetreeRet · Apr 10, 2013

Yeah, it was used to cure mange, now they say it can be harmful to the skin. Must be all the additives.

That is one of the many made it was filled with an oil made for the swine as their skin is dry and they can get mange easy so you put the oil made for them in the oiler and they would rub and play a lot saved spraying for lice and other skin disorders they could get. There are collectors who have many types that were available all painted up making a neat collection of how we got here.

used oil for lice. Dad said it was the carbon in the
oil that did the trick. We painted used oil on the
cattle for lice too.

how do you keep any amount of oil in the thing, with all the slots in it?

Yep, what they said, hog oiler. Get it up out of the dirt and clean it up, for some reason there are folks that collect those things and might pay more than a few bucks for it.

Dad always used melted lard and turpentine. Wouldn't even attempt to cut a calf without it.

Yep, hog oiler.

I'd keep it and use it as a focal point in a garden (or even in your house if you have room for it somewhere).

I would clean it and oil it and set it on a wood base if in the house. I would not paint it... but I love rusty stuff.
