Re: [MBZ] 140 3.2 Opinion

[clay via Mercedes]

AS long as you are not expecting to race it or have it blast around like a 
super car, the W140 does fine with an inline 6.  More power than the older 
cars, but not that much.  Far more complex than the older cars.  A w124 is 
pretty light compared to either the 126 or 140.  I am pretty please with the 
OM603 in the SDL.  It is not a rocket like the R107, the S430 has a newer 
transmission, and the added pistons have a bit of power.  I thought the OM606 
NA was powerful enough for my needs.   My kid was able to chirp tires and get 
that car to spin 180 from a dead stop into a phone pole within its own 
wheelbase.

Depends on what your expectations are

Badgers are fairly large burrowing animals, with a nasty disposition and
a nasty set of teeth. They will burrow near a fence cornerpost and knock
down two miles of fence (at least out here in the west) by doing so.

We caught one running down the lane on the south side of the 80 acres we
had south of Calhan, Colorado. The lane was on the north side of our
neighbor's fenced field and on the south side of our unfenced field.

We were headed east on the lane to go visit the neighbor and came upon the
badger, also headed east. As we approached in our 4000# Willys Utility
Wagon, the badger turned north into our field. I followed in the Utility
wagon.

I had to run him over 8 times before he stopped moving.

Re: [MBZ] Hedge wood was RE: OT Latest track

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

Problem with all the chainsaw "advise" is that that osage orange wood is 
hard as hell when green and when it dries it basically cannot be cut 
with much of anything, even carbide blades.  That's why it makes great 
wood planes and things like that, if you get it when it is workable.


I can't remember if it is like teak with lots of mineral content or if 
it just hard and dense.

Hot chain stretches, runs loose in the blade guides, which makes the chain

the blade more quickly descending spiral of success.

Sharp teeth, properly tension ed on the blade and properly lubed [if your
saw has an "automatic chain lube feature" it's seldom getting enough lube
for wood as hard as Osage Orange.]  I much prefer the manual chain lube

Best advise I can give you on when to sharpen your saw is to look at the
chips coming out of the cut.  When your saw is razor sharp and freshly
sharpened, look at those chips.. use them as the "benchmark" look, as the
teeth dull, the saw will work harder to do less work and the chips will
tell you "time to stop and sharpen the teeth..

Osage Orange is one of the hardest woods to machine.. it's grain is close

Along with the hedge logs, I had some logs from a sweet gum tree and a

Re: [MBZ] 140 3.2 Opinion

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Agree with the Klebster.  $6k for either car is realistic, if not still a 
little high, but nicer cars with low mileage and/or provenance are money well 
spent, IMHO.  Better to spend it up front and buy the best possible example 
than go low and have loads of trouble.

Glad to get some validation on the 3.2 in the W140.  It was a concern for me as 
well until I drove the one last year.  I was pleasantly surprised.

[MBZ] Bonehead

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I park in a parking garage at my office.  The space I park in is one of two 
that are sandwiched between two block walls.  There is room for two vehicles to 
fit in the area without having to squeeze out of the door.  I normally park 
well to the right against a wall so the person in the other space has plenty of 
room. This is usually another employee I work with, or if they’re late, some 
guy with a big red Dodge pickup truck, who swings wide because he won’t back up 
and straighten out to pull into the space.

So today as I’m pulling out of my garage I hear a big “pop” sound and realize I 
forgot to clear a plastic container with a set of old H4 bulbs in it.  
Realizing that the metal part of the bulb might have damaged my right front 
tire, when I pulled into my parking space this morning I moved towards the 
middle of the space, evenly spacing my car between the yellow lines, with a 
good 8”-12” on each side of the car between the car and the painted lines.  
That way if I had to change a tire should it have been damaged and leaked down 
during the day I can get to that side of the car.

Wife had doctor’s appointment I was attending, so about 9:40 I go down to get 
in the car.  There’s a note stuffed in the gap between my doors:

"Sorry, but I scrapped (sic) against your car this morning.  It doesn’t look 
bad, but please let me know what to do and I’ll work things out with you.” 
(phone number)

Arrgh.

Left rear quarter is scuffed and left rear taillight is cracked.  When I got it 
out in the sun I could see a dimple in the middle of the panel.  The trailing 
edge of the fender where the tail light opening starts has the paint rubbed 
down to the primer.  I took plenty of pictures of my car, its’ position and the 
big red truck, which was clearly swung way over into my space when it pulled in 
and had black paint on the bumper where it had rubbed against my car.

So I called the guy and he was pretty contrite.  He said if it was below his 
deductible he would just give me the money, otherwise I could file a claim with 
his insurer.  I told him to put it in writing in an email, which he did, even 
admitting fault and including his insurance contact information and policy 
number. (Nice!)

So I went to the local ding and dent place, a chain called “Carsmetics”, for a 
quick estimate.

Around $475 for the paint work. LKQ has no left rear taillights for my car, so 
the only other choice they have is to go with new from MBUSA.

+$1100.00!!!

I had them write up an estimate with and without the tail light.  I’m thinking 
if his deductible is $500 I’ll ask him for $550 and I’ll source the tail light 
assembly (easily found on eBay for $60-$80.)

But only after I give him the $1700.00 estimate.

Re: [MBZ] 140 3.2 Opinion

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

The 3.2 liter in the W140 is fine. I would encourage you to test drive the car 
and see for yourself.

I considered a 1997 S320 last year.  It was the first one I ever drove, and I 
took it out on the interstate and thrashed it with all the accessories on and 
it was fine.  Granted, it wouldn’t chirp tires like my S500 would, but it did 
not seem underpowered or anemic.

$10k is way too much for that car, even with the low mileage.  Maybe $6k, 
primarily the premium for the low miles and if it has service records.

99 is the last and best model year of the W140.

Re: [MBZ] OT- Wrenches Jammed in B-47 flight controls

I was never a senior enlisted man (a lowly E-3 at time of this incident), 
but I WAS in charge of maintenance on THAT airplane.  I vaguely remember 
that the careless mechanic who was using the wrenches as temporary props was 
of equal or one grade higher.


I suppose "chewing out" is done occasionally as necessary, but I never gave 
nor received such, neither as an enlisted member nor as an officer, but I 
DID sometimes "participate" as an Officer Candidate.  It seemed to be a 
large part of the "game" in OCS, where I was very good at "playing the

WRENCHES IN FLIGHT CONTROLS

I was an A/2C (E-3) B-47E maintenance crew chief in the 98th Bomb 
Wing
at Lincoln  AFB, NE, from Oct '57 to Mar '60, when I left to attend 
Officer

Candidate School (OCS).
In late '59, my aircraft was in the periodic inspection hanger for
several days for certain detailed and time-required inspections and
maintenance, including lubrication of flap actuators, tracks and rollers.
During mid-morning break one day during this time, I noticed one of the
flaperons, part of the flap that would spill (hinge upward) with the 
aileron

to aid lateral control at low airspeeds, was in the spilled position - an
unnatural condition with no power on the aircraft.
Investigating what was holding the flaperon in the spilled position, 
I
found two nice open-end wrenches jammed in between the actuator levers 
and

the wing rib structure above.  This could have caused serious structural
damage to the wing if somebody had turned the battery switch on or 
started
the external power unit (MD-3).  Hydraulic pressure at 3000 psi would 
likely

have suddenly shoved the wrenches upward through the wing.
I removed the two wrenches and waited for the owner to return from
break, at which time, I had a serious "talk" with him about the dangers 
of

leaving wrenches in flight controls.  He tried to give me a lame excuse

Re: [MBZ] Hedge wood was RE: OT Latest track

[G Mann via Mercedes]

Keep the chain sharp, and keep it well lubricated. A dull chain heats up
fast, a poorly lubricated chain heats up fast.

Hot chain stretches, runs loose in the blade guides, which makes the chain
wobble so it doesn't bite into the wood at the correct angle, which dulls
the blade more quickly descending spiral of success.

Sharp teeth, properly tension ed on the blade and properly lubed [if your
saw has an "automatic chain lube feature" it's seldom getting enough lube
for wood as hard as Osage Orange.]  I much prefer the manual chain lube
equipped saws.

Best advise I can give you on when to sharpen your saw is to look at the
chips coming out of the cut.  When your saw is razor sharp and freshly
sharpened, look at those chips.. use them as the "benchmark" look, as the
teeth dull, the saw will work harder to do less work and the chips will
tell you "time to stop and sharpen the teeth..

Osage Orange is one of the hardest woods to machine.. it's grain is close
and tight.  Good luck.

Re: [MBZ] Hedge wood was RE: OT Latest track

If you don't have one, get a file to sharpen that chain.  Must be the right
diameter and you need to know the angle (you can get cheap, easy guides that
attach to the file).  It only takes a few minutes to sharpen a chain and a
sharpened chain will cut like new.  I learned this the hard way after
several FL panhandle hurricanes.  If you watch a real tree pro, they will
have the helper sharpen the chains every hour or so.

[MBZ] OT- Wrenches Jammed in B-47 flight controls

[WILTON via Mercedes]

WRENCHES IN FLIGHT CONTROLS

   I was an A/2C (E-3) B-47E maintenance crew chief in the 98th Bomb Wing 
at Lincoln  AFB, NE, from Oct '57 to Mar '60, when I left to attend Officer 
Candidate School (OCS).
   In late '59, my aircraft was in the periodic inspection hanger for 
several days for certain detailed and time-required inspections and 
maintenance, including lubrication of flap actuators, tracks and rollers. 
During mid-morning break one day during this time, I noticed one of the 
flaperons, part of the flap that would spill (hinge upward) with the aileron 
to aid lateral control at low airspeeds, was in the spilled position - an 
unnatural condition with no power on the aircraft.
   Investigating what was holding the flaperon in the spilled position, I 
found two nice open-end wrenches jammed in between the actuator levers and 
the wing rib structure above.  This could have caused serious structural 
damage to the wing if somebody had turned the battery switch on or started 
the external power unit (MD-3).  Hydraulic pressure at 3000 psi would likely 
have suddenly shoved the wrenches upward through the wing.
   I removed the two wrenches and waited for the owner to return from 
break, at which time, I had a serious "talk" with him about the dangers of 
leaving wrenches in flight controls.  He tried to give me a lame excuse 
about making it easier to grease flap rollers and tracks, and I warned him 
that if I found the wrenches in the wing again, they were going be mine.
   Later, when I returned from lunch, guess what!  I found the flaperon on 
the other side of the airplane held in the spilled position with the same 
wrenches!!  'Didn't even confront the culprit this time - just took the 
wrenches as promised and put 'em in my tool box, where they remain today.

Re: [MBZ] OT Sears / Kenmore dryer repair

[Rick Knoble via Mercedes]

Ah okay. Front panel between washer and dryer Un screws. Then remove screws for 
front and top. Take off. Unhook spring for idler pulley. Lift dr‎um and remove. 
Replacement bearing is a stainless steel ball on drum, nylon cup on dryer back. 
There is also a spring and ball bearing in the cup (static discharge) that 
needs replaced too. Don't be surprised to find it packed full off lint, and 
evidence of scorching on the felt drum seal at the rear. There are also uhmw 
wear strips supporting the front of the drum to be replaced. Clean all the lint 
front the inside of the door and that should do it.

[MBZ] Generator OT

[Fred Moir via Mercedes]

Alles.

Small kerfuffle last night after the rain. A tree next door fell across the 
street, taking out her power line and denting a red Ford SUV.

This is the same dead tree that my wife sent letters about to the Park and Rec. 
department just last week. they cut it up last night and carted it away.

Power co. restored power this morning.

The big hollow oak at the corner will be the next to go. Such an exciting life 
we lead.

I pray all are safe and warm.

I guess I exorcised the various demons inhabiting the generator.  It was

about 4 hours until I shut it off.  This morning it has been running for 
about 4 hours no hiccups.


2 things -- it sorta vibrated itself off the brick walk onto the dirt 
which has minimized the vibarrations, and I checked the oil and it was a

either or both of those things have done the exorcism, I'm not going to

Power co estimated yesterday 3-5 days to get power back but then there was 
a report that the substation had been energized but they have not turned 
on anything yet.  Sounds kinda sketchy.  In any case the fridge is cold 
and making ice so I guess I am OK though the dogs are going insane over 
the generator, they think there is a constant car coming activity or

Speaking of osage orange wood, how'd those chunks work out?

That's true, we have to deal with Tornados AND you are right, there isn't as 
much warning for tornados.  But, we don't have to deal with a tidal surge on 
top of the wind.  I don't know if this is scientifically proven, but based on 
my observations Tornados in Kansas seem to avoid the more densely populated 
areas.  In Wichita, there have been significant tornados that hit the outskirts 
of the city, but damage inside the city is usually pretty rare (currently 
knocking on wood).  Obviously there are exceptions.  What we have to deal with 
in Wichita is hail and wind damage from storms that don't quite become 
tornados.  There are more of them and they are more frequent but usually less 
destructive.  

If we could have a big storm that would knock down a couple of hedge (Osage 
Orange) trees I would be pretty happy about that!

Where tornadoes show up, do their damage, and are gone in a matter of an hour 
or two.  With a hurricane, the warning times is measured in days!

Re: [MBZ] OT Sears / Kenmore dryer repair

On my sears driers the top tilts back, you have to undo the drive belt 
by springing the tensioner underneath, then the whole drum can be lifted 
out -- it has some kind of fabric sort of gasket in the front that it 
moves on, and the rollers at the back, it is not fixed in there other 
than by gravity.

I asked this before, and someone answered, but now I've lost that response,
so apologies for repeating myself.

Our 17 year-old Sears Kenmore dryer has finally broken down.  It makes a
terrible grinding noise during operation.

I rode my bike to the beach this afternoon.  Saw 3 people, an old hippie
couple walking on the beach looking for stuff, and on the boardwalk as I
was coming back a kinda weird dude.  I spoke to him, he looked kinda "off"
and mumbled something.

I get back up the road and see 2 vehicles parked.  One an SUV with a
surfboard and some hippie-type stickers, and an E320CDI.
