 Subject: Re: [MBZ] 300SDL radiator
 
 Thanks guys.
 
 It appears that the part number is common between the W126 and W124,  
 I'll check.  I can get a rad for the W124 with no problem, Nissen or  
 Behr if they are identical.‎
 
 I don't think it will be available in the aftermarket for some reason. I 
 tried the part number in a couple different sites, and drew a blank. 
 
 Perhaps World-Pak doesn't carry it. 
 I imagine you can negotiate a decent deal with the parts manager at the local 
 dealer.

I imagine getting whacked by a 500mph rotor tip is too random to do any culling.

  would not drop it.  Finally after 3 or 4 tries it got airborne and
 flew
  over me, looked like it was carrying a cat.  I heard something behind
 be in
  the woods on the other side of the road and there was a flock of
 turkeys.
  They scattered when the eagle flew over.

Gotta shoot the pols first.

My friend who ran a grain elevator in the 80s (farm crisis era) said 
he wanted open season, no bag limit on lawyers.  That would take care 
of most of the pol problem too.  We'd be left with grassley, whom 
Bruce Braley made a big deal about since grassley was not a lawyer, 
and a few others who are not lawyers.  I bet that would clear out 
close to 500 of the 545 problems

Vultures don't kill they prey.  Eagles hawks and falcons do!

I'd bet turkey vultures would clean up the leftovers.



I wonder - will they do us such a favor for politicians?  Or is their flesh
too unpalatable?

Not sure why, but not nearly so many lawyers in politics these days - at 
least not in Canada.
Used to be that almost all of the politicians were lawyers.  One of the 
reasons was the it was relatively easy for a lawyer in a bigger firm to 
leave the practice and then to come back to it if they lost an election.

[MBZ] OM603 alda

2014-11-14 Thread Curly McLain via Mercedes

to enrich the fuel delivery, do you screw the alda screw in or out?

It is probably easier to just put a shim in though.  I've made them 
out of the the copper oil drain seals.  pt it over  a needle nose 
pliers and open the pliers to squeeze, turn repeat over and over 
until the OD is large enough.  Buy then the cross section is nearing 
square.  gives you about a 1.2 mm shim that seems to do the trick.

Car-part.com  I found 5 listings for RF door.  Call em up and ask if 
they will sell the liner or door pocket.

4 are in CA, one in PA.

You might also try calling the junkyards around Phoenix and lost

Thanks  I think it will be too cold to get to it 
this weekend, but it is a deferred project that 
is getting higher on the list.   January weather. 
High supposed to be 23.


Top of the list is to figure out why the heater 
fan does not work.  I am guessing brushes, but it 
could be power.  Last winter, once I got it going 
I didn't turn it off.  I think SWMBO turned it 
off this summer, or else it just quit.   at 
-12ºC, it would be nice to have some heat and 
defrost.

Typically the bushings are full of crap and the shaft is stuck.

Replace it, it's not worth the effort of getting the impeller balanced

Around 2008 I rebuilt the HVAC blower in my 124.193, using a kit from
MercedesSource.  Kit included a new Bosch motor, a special tool for
removing the fan blades, and a decent instruction book.  IIRC, had to
measure the distance between inside edges of fan blades and mark the clock
orientation of the blades.  These ensured that balance was maintained and
the blades didn't rub the housing when mounted on the new motor.  I think
price was around $80, new motor still works fine.

On the subject of changing blower motors, do so as soon as it starts  
to run slowly or fail to start occasionally, or you will burn up the  
speed control module and have to replace that as well.


The module cost around $400 for an original one, and while the  
aftermarkets work, they run the fan faster than I like.


It's also a pain to replace!

I know, I've replaced two so far and will be doing #3 shortly.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Onsite fabrication of taller wind turbines

North Florida was poor during the early 1950s. Many chemistry majors couldn't 
afford beer so they made raisin jack**, poured it in the labs large 
polyethylene cylinders, and froze it in the lab refrigerators. 
After it was frozen, a layer of yeast cells, raisins, and anything else that 
happened to fall in was lifted out in one piece, and the raisin jack was ready.

A Chinese cook and his family rented a closed restaurant and managed to survive 
by selling cheap but nourishing lunches to students. 
The cook bought an old car and students would occasionally see it stopped 
before dawn along country roads near town.
They finally figured out that the mystery meat in his rice dishes, which were 
well disguised with Chinese sauce, was road kill.
His business with students declined and he soon sold the restaurant to another 
Chinese family that improved it and is still in business AFAIK. The restaurant 
was about halfway between the courthouse and 13th Street on University Avenue.
Gerry
**Raisin jack was made by dumping a small box of raisins and two packs of dried 
yeast into a gallon jug of sweet cider. The chem students attached a cap and 
tube with the other end in a glass of water. When the bubbles per minute 
reached a precise number, the raisin jack had reached maximum power.
