Thanks bsaint! Yes I just got a local quote for 5 Gallon pail of Mobil Rarus 32....$480 I'm wondering how much the LE-8 compressor needs as this Amsoil seems less pricey http://www.amsoil.com/shop/by-product/compressor-oil/synthetic-compressor-oil-iso-32-sae-10w/?code=PCH05-EA

Thanks!

Also, what quantity of oil is needed? The manual does not show this.

I picked up a used LE-8. The manuals says to use a PAO ISO-32 Oil. It seems difficult to locate here in Eastern Canada. Would anyone happen to know a more common oil that is compatible? Thanks

I had to trench in a power cable to the garage from the house. I used my gas powered pressure washer to cut a precise 3" wide X 18" deep trench. It was minimal work and mess. No crowbars or shovels were needed.... just a pick-axe with a broad blade. We have mixed till soil here so large rocks...

Anyone know who made this radial beast? Looks like a mill with the big knee. The ram has a box cross section.
