I only ever changed fluid once and that's cause there was so much water that the filter froze solid. Guess I'm a bad person.

I think the manual says to do it every 2 seasons, but 2 quarts of oil costs like $10 so why not do it every year.

Hit up a dealer to grab a gallon and I can help you next Friday. Mine's a Western so the whole pump assembly is identical.

After stopping in at PJ's a few times I now know why I haven't seen any sandblasting being done, he died two years ago. I think it's time to take down the sign, people might get confused

So anybody know a local sandblaster or have a blast cabinet I could use?

Hey everyone. Just thought i'd say hi. I found i've bought more tools from harbor freight. Got quite the selection now. They are so cheap, and have had no problems so far. Also, got my harbor freight impact wrench up and running. Needed to get air tool oil before i ran it but got some today. Still need impact sockets though. A bit of oversight there on my part.
