I would like to get a gast dry vane pump. I see many available, but how do I tell whether its a dry vane or lubricated? I have 350 taps and would like a 2565 or 2567

The 2567 is oil less. The 2565 has an oiler. If you're worried about maintaining the oil level, dont. They use very little oil. I topped mine off once last season. Used maybe 1/2 cup the whole season. You should get 23 hgs or so on that many taps. The thing about the 2565 is its a pulley drive. I've actually increased my hgs by 2 or 3 by running it 100 or so rpms above the recommended 1750. I am somewhat of a risk taker and I'm not recommending it. I'm just saying that its possible and it worked for me.
