That is a fuel pump. The braided line goes to the fuel injectors.

No worries, I try not to let my opinion come across as gospel. The way I look at it, I'll post the info I have and if it helps someone so be it, if not..ohh well
.....MikeOK, so I go to get the 80W-90 Oil at AutoZone and now I find out that there are different service classifications.
Valvoline: API SERVICES GL-5, GL-4 and says: Recommended for all hypoid differentials (conventional & limited slip) and manual transmission in passenger cars, light trucks, sport utility vehicles, vans & heavy-duty trucks where an API-GL5 or MT-1 fluid is specified and is for High speed, high torque & high horsepower conditions.
Coastal (AutoZone): API Service Classification GL-5 and recommended for use in passenger cars, light duty trucks and sport utility vehicles. Limited slip applications for top-off only.
MasterPro (O'reilly's): Multi-Purpose GL-5 Gear Lubricant is a premium quality, heavy-duty, extreme pressure, multi-purpose gear lubricant formulated with high quality refined base stock and a premium additive package to impart extreme pressure, anti-scuff, anti-wear, and anti-weld properties to the finished product.
So, I'm sure I'm over thinking this. Is there anybody that can tell me which one is right or best?
Again, thanks.

Any of them is fine. Only thing you have to watch using GL-5 in other applications that call for GL-4 is that it's not yellow metal safe, it'll chew synchronizers up, since we don't have 'em we're fine....Mike

If you're so inclined, here's a link to some good info re gear oils http://www.widman.biz/uploads/Transaxle_oil.pdf

Hi Mike
GL-5 is the winner then. Coastal is definitely cheaper.
Actually, being **** I did find that informative and saved it.
A couple of more questions and I think I'm good.
1. Have you heard of ISO 100 or 1000 Compressor Oil? A sheet from Keno Tractors recommends that for the Injection Pump.
2. You mentioned AW 32 for you hydraulic unless it's cold. It gets cold here. Again the Keno sheet says Mobil H46-20wt. Have you heard of this?
Like I said, I can get **** over this stuff. Mostly because my budget doesn't allow for costly mistakes on my part.
I have put together a Word Doc/pdf file of parts/fluids, etc. I am now trying to figure out how to attach it for others to see/use.
Do you know how I can get it up to the forum?
Again, I can't say enough thanks for your help and patience.

I use non-detergent SAE 30 oil in both my compressor and my injection pump.
According to this link it's the same stuff:

I think comp oil is non detergent so I don't have any thoughts on that portion. As for why I use engine oil, I have it when I'm changing the oil so I don't have to carry a separate oil.
People use anywhere from 10 to 68 oil, it gets cold here also, -10 to -20c during the winter. I use 32 because its mid range, like I had said, a few minutes of running and I'm good to go albeit easy at first but after 10mins max it works like it does in the summer.
save your file as a .jpg or similar and post it that way....Mike

OK, now this brings up another question. I know about the injection pump now. Next question is: What compressor?
Thanks quicksanfarmer. That is helpful. Don't take this wrong, but between mrmikey and you, I now know more about oils that I thought I ever would and realize that I didn't know as much as I thought I did.
Gets that cold here to Mike. With that chart from quicksandfarmer, I'm kinda thinking the 15w-40 too. I take it you haven't had any problems with it.
Here's another question: According to the chart link from quicksandfarmer, does AW32 equate to 10wt?
I saw where I could put attach a jpg file. Now, if I can only figure out how to convert my pdf to jpg, I can get that list up here for everyone.
