<< Jon,

Thank you, I'll start with that.

That brings up another question:
What makes a good way oil? Is there something
specific(viscosity or specs) or can I automotive
oils like 20w/50 or 10w/40???

Thanks,
Lee



Lee,

Don't know the specifics of way oil but I buy 1 gallon jugs from WW
Grainger. They sell the Mobil brand. About 20$. Anti oxidant, no detergent as
far as I know.

The cosmoline like stuff on new machines, I shoot WD-40 on it in the
morning, wipe it off with a paper towel in the afternoon. Really easy. Don't
use Brakleen as it will remove paint, destroy rubber and craze plastics etc.
(Pretty sure most were tricloroethane or percloroethane)
