Oil it up, bake it in the oven at fairly high temp, repeat a few times. Do not use soap except for the first time (too late), use salt to clean stuck stuff off, water to rinse, little oil before putting it away. Do not clean off your seasoning. --R (using grannie's cast iron skillets, which I think she was given when she got married in the 1920s, by her mother, who might have got them when she was married in the late 1800s -- well-seasoned) Curt Raymond wrote: Seems like each has its own little niche.

Made a soup Sunday night in the dutch oven, it tasted wierd, probably the waxy preservative they used although my wife thinks it was from the olive oil I used to season it. I'm still alive so its probably not poison... Used it to cook taco meat last night which worked out fine. Interestingly cooking taco meat seems to be the fastest way to season cast iron.

[MBZ] Drivable on Modern Roads, was 240D
do 35K a year on every interstate from Bangor Maine to Bellefonte Ohio to Richmond VA. 1979 240D Auto, the roads are still made with the same material they were 30 years ago. Regards Tom I agree, Tom. 240 D Autos with the air on are speedsters compared to what I used to drive--a Vanagon Diesel westfalia. 48 HP, 2 tons, and the aerodynamics of an open parachute. I swapped in a 70 hp turbodiesel when the NA engine coughed up blood and died, and even with that engine I've still been held to a maximum speed of 50 mph on dead level ground for hours (in KS) when fighting a hellish headwind. I'm not complaining--a full-featured RV that sleeps 4, will ford 18- inch deep creeks, off-road like a truck, cruise most days at 65-70 and get 25 mpg is a hell of a deal in my book. And THAT's fast compared to my brother's 1942 International KB-7 5- ton straight truck. On a trip from Des Moines to Chicago I scaled 8 3/4 tons with it, hauling river rock. All that with a 265 inch, 6-1 compression stroker six making all of 89 horsepower. It did the whole trip--uphill and down--at it's maximum recommended cruising speed of 45 mph turning 2000 revs (redline is 2200). Took all ten non- syncromesh gears to get it there, I might add. More recently, I've just returned from a 3500 mile trip to Ellsworth, Maine driving a 1986 Chevy S-10 2.5 liter 5-speed. Did the whole trip at 65 with a half-ton in the bed and another ton on a utility trailer behind, most of it in overdrive, interestingly enough, and averaging 20.5 mpg. It was damn near wide open the whole way--in 4th when 5th wouldn't pull the speed limit. Underpowered is all in the mind. That said, I did the same 3,500 mile trip recently in five hours less time driving my 300SD. That time, I was averaging--including stops, mind you--66 mph, including a stint through chicago after rush hour, construction, toll booths, gas stops and potty breaks, and 4 hours of two lane roads. Much of the time, I was running 80-85 in effortless comfort, and given my other vehicular experiences, appreciating every mile of it. Even on the two-lanes I was doing 70, passing supposedly better-handling cars whose drivers were jarring their fillings loose on the frost heaves at the 50 mph speed limit. Dan

- B-52 navs used to say, We measure it with calipers, mark it with a grease pencil and chop it with an ax. Calipers refers to trying to get very fine/precise readings in bearing and elevation of the celestial body on the sextant. Mark with grease pencil refers to the occasional dull pencil which could plot a line on some charts nearly a mile wide.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Sunrise in east
Wilton: Got an email from Moses today. He wants you to return the rock you borrowed from him. Dang, Wilton, I at least had Loran-A to guide me thru the skies. Our plane did carry a sextant, though. I used it once to thump the side of my HF receiver when a tuning sub-system something-or-other was stuck and wouldn't track. The thump fixed the HF. I carefully returned the sextant to its storage area. Couldn't replace the disturbed cobwebs, however. Let me bring you up to speed on the modern aircraft nav in the 1970s. Cross two Loran-A lines on a chart (paper, covered by 1/4 plexiglass, marked on by a one-mile-wide grease pencil. Took about 30 seconds to get a position, so by the time you marked where you are (were) you'd boogied a bit down the piece of paper. Throw in parallax error caused by the plexiglass and ground speed while plotting, throw in the width of the grease pencil, I always knew where I was at any given fifteen minute interval, +/- 10 miles. (Lots of ocean to search in a 10x10 mile area.) ... We started getting Loran-C receivers about the time I stopped flying nav and headed off to OCS. All joking aside, I carried my own charts. No grease pencil and no plexiglass. I nav'd on paper -- carried my own set in my helmet bag -- with a sharp pencil. Very anal-retentive and detail oriented. And that is the same characteristic that motivated my air station officers to ask me to apply (successfully) to OCS. D.

Re: [MBZ] W115 GP Question
I use a starter relay from a 66 ford bronco or equivalent. It has 2 posts for the pilot circuit, so you can run a ground wire inside, to a pushbutton switch and then to a ground. The hot side of the pilot circuit only has to run a couple of feet to the battery. Connect the power to the battery side of the resistance coil on the dash. This works on key-glow later models when the switch or relay are intermittent. I used this on my 81 240D when it had what turned out to be a series of bad starter relays. Just push the button for glow or start, depending on how you wire it. I had one on my escort diesel for the glow circuit too. It was flakey from time to time.

Re: [MBZ] W115 GP Question
yes, I meant to put that in my post also, but the ford relay is a good backup for either flaky starter switches or flaky glow plug switches. According to the book, the glow circuit stays energized while the starter is on. The pushbutton system however, makes a cheap manual afterglow system.

Re: [MBZ] When to use Mobil 1 after engine rebuild
No more than 500 miles. Make sure you do some full throttle high load runs (steep hills in high gear) first -- this polishes the cylinders a bit and seats the rings. If you don't, oil consumption may stay high for a long time, MB cylinder walls are fairly hard, and they don't use scraper rings. Change the filter at the same time. Peter

Re: [MBZ] Harbor Freighter
Fer cryin out loud my wife used it to boil water on the woodstove yesterday while the power was out. The left it on the stove (not lit) overnight... When I got to it this morning it had a coating of rust. The seasoning it'd gained wasn't anywhere near enough. Had to scrub it with soap to get the rust off. Why not use a pot to boil water I asked, I thought you wanted this to get used so it would break in.

[MBZ] What Mercedes Do Best
Loren: Yep, I was covering La Carrera this year, and saw and talked to those guys. One of them was the only car in the field that ran stock seats-- and this was in a '59 (I believe) 220s. Column shift, stock wheels, the whole stock bit. He said not so fast--about 100, 110 tops, but tougher than a pine knot. His was an unmodified, unrestored ex- argentinian taxi. Wouldn't trade the 300SD's five-link for the old swing axle on rough twisty roads though. Seriously, the 126 flying down frost-heaved Maine backroads was one of the finest examples of great suspension engineering I've ever experienced. The car stuck to the road even around washboard corners, and I felt quite secure and very comfortable. My 75-year-old father was along for the ride. His first car was a '52 TD, and he's owned a sunbeam alpine, Volvos and Saab's. He said none of them could have kept up with us one what we were driving on and survived. And we got 27.2 mpg for the trip. Is that steering wheel off yet? :-) Dan Loren wrote: Amen That is a good description of what Mercedes do best. The new STAR has an article about 3 elderly MBs running in the Carrera Panamerica, 2 pontons and a 111. Two of the trio won their class, the third, with an ameteur driver did respectably.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Wood Splitters
Should be able to build a pretty decent one for less. My father built a fairly stout unit something like 25 years ago and we still have it at the cottage. Would send you a photo if it wasn't 180 miles away. Basically built of scrap and surplus parts and powered by an 8HP BS. Has split a lot of wood in its time but currently needs some TLC. Motor is getting to where it does not run well. Planning a carb rebuild to begin with. Bought a new steel tank to serve as the resevoir for the oil. Thought about using an expired 20# propane tank but did not trust my welding abilities enough to prevent leakage as it would need a second fitting installed somewhere.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Wood Splitters
Then he will be an extremely manly man when he is done! With those splitters you still have to move 10 cords around, put the big chunks on the splitter (a couple of times since they usually just split one way), which usually sits kinda low so you are bending over, or if higher lifting stuff up, then move the split pieces and stack them. The splitting is the fun part of the whole ordeal. I put in my time splitting wood up in Mass, saved a lot of heating oil money (and minimized my carbon footprint, or airprint, or whatever it was, even before the Goreacle told me I really needed to do it for my 20,000 ft2 house!). --R John Robbins wrote: Rich Thomas wrote: You guys are total wimps.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Wood Splitters
So does a manual splitter... However I only use the manual splitter for stuff that I can't split with 5 of 6 whacks of the axe. Yes axe, a maul just wears you out faster, a good splitting axe is the way to go. -Curt Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2007 11:24:37 -0600 From: Rich Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT: Wood Splitters To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed You guys are total wimps.

Our 2 little girls are so close it;s hard to imagine them dieing in such a terrible way. It must have been very hard on you seeing both of them sick. I wonder if there'll be some class-action lawsuit? Typically I'm against law suits - but when a foreign govt like China takes advantage of us I think they should be punished. They probably get by with very little oversight on their facilities - and their use of prison labor makes their products unfairly underpriced.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Wood Splitters
Jim, Check out Northerntool.com They sell complete units and all the pieces to build one yourself. The heart of it is a 2-stage hydraulic pump. I have bought 3 of those pumps over the years to upgrade and power the family's old 36' cider press. it powers an 8 cylinder and creates 200,000 lbs of pressure. The shaft speed has to be calculated in minutes per inch of travel on high pressure and inches per minute on low pressure. Log splitter need fast cycle times, thus the t stage pump. you can power the pump by your unimog pto or a motor the next piece is a 3 or 4 inch hydraulic cylinder. The rest you can build from scrap.

Here is info http://www.tractordata.com/td/td128.html I see some advertised on the net for $US6500, seems a reasonable price. I wish I had some need for this or a place to put it, it's lots of fun. Alumacraft boat/trailer, 18ft or so, some sort of motor I don't recall, maybe 100hp or so. Has a place to sit in front, you walk through the windshield. Outiftted for fishing with depth/fish finders and trolling motor(s?). Used a few times, been sitting covered in the barn for years, looks brand new. If it was fiberglass I would have it here in TX in no time. No idea what this might be worth -- $8-10k? 1998 Cadillac Sedan deVille, dk blue, 53k miles, looks new, always dealer serviced, new tires, leather, loaded, very nice ride but not quite my style. Northstar engine moves it with alacrity. This one popped up on a search for $8500, quite similar http://www.carsearch.com/ad.html?v=764192 Drove it last week, runs very well.

Our 10 yr old dog died about 6 weeks ago, miserably, from massive internal bleeding. Despite the best care we could get her she still did not make it. Our other dog (2yo) was sick about the same time but got better after going on some other food. Vet had asked if they had gotten into any rat poison as that kind of bleeding is a symptom, and both being sick at the same time. Now I see that the canned stuff I mixed in with their food, and bought new from the store (Safeway Priority brand) just before that time, was made by this company. I think that sh*t killed her. Damn. Anyone else have anything happen to their animals? Clean out your pantry... --R - Be a PS3 game guru. Get your game face on with the latest PS3 news and previews at Yahoo! Games.

Re: [MBZ] rat poison
The stuff was like Cuts in Gravy or something similar, used wheat gluten for thickening, from this Chinese wheat that had rat poison. The poison has now been identified as one not approved or used here so the Chinese supplier is on the hook. Maybe the Canadian manufacturer will source the gluten elsewhere from now on. A local attorney has filed a class action suit here. RLE ** AOL now offers free email to everyone. Find out more about what's free from AOL at http://www.aol.com.
Re: [MBZ] Emac to ?
So, Instead of busting the eMac apart to get at the drive, I just use a Firewire drive (had to use firewire DVD to install to the eMac) and install to that? You are not thinking of putting the emac drive into a laptop, I assume, since it won't fit unless you flatten it a bit with your car. The connector cable using target disk mode has worked for me. You can also ask the Genius desk at the Apple store what to do and they will tell you. No purchase or Applecare needed. You can make an appointment online since they are busy.

Re: [MBZ] Mercedes Digest, Vol 16, Issue 97
Roger, I have to upgrade to a 30 gig 2.5 anyway, so I was going to use a converter, stick it in the eMac and install that way.
