 a case.

 He has been ordered off the land TWICE by Federal Courts.

 This is nothing more than a common thief making things up so he can keep
 stealing.

Do some more research.  That is not what it is all about.  With Common Core
there is no time to teach.  Each lesson is provided on a daily basis and on
to the next the very next day with no time for the teacher to pass on the
info.  How can every student learn every lesson in 1 hour or less?  Common
core is for sheeple.
  Even our teachers are mostly against common core.

 I believe there are some problems with Common Core, but they are, so far
 as I can tell, mostly lack of clarity and lack of teaching materials.
 Hard to produce a set of textbooks following the curriculum in a matter of
 months.

 Indiana just ditched Common Core, but that is all about

 I cannot fathom the notion that there would be very much difference
 between that and any other standard curriculum unless there are some really
 bad ones out there -- after all, humans have been recording how to teach
 children for around 3000 years now.  Can't be THAT much new under the sun.

 Most of the criticism of Common Core is that it's NIH (not invented
 here) and hence, since it's a Federal Standard, must be spawn of the devil
 and proponents must be burned at the stake as heretics with much howling
 and gnashing of teeth.

 The notion that local standards are better than a national one is a crock
 of excrement.  I seriously doubt some flyspeck down at the end of a dirt
 road is gonna come up with something better.  It's all about cranking up
 the radical right religious base, not education.

Wow.  I can't believe I just wasted all the time it took to read this.

This is half of the reason most of my mail from this group gets deleted,
unread.  I love to hear Wilton's tales and the other non-Benz drivel.  I
hate feeling like I am listening to my teenage daughters in disguise.

As, usual Grant says it best.  Wise fellow there.  But not just Gary needs
to listen.  Let's be logical men about the situation...if you can't get
along quit having internet balls and attacking people who you would never
say boo too in person!  I am so tired of how confrontational folks are when
there is no personal interaction.

 sounded like a pre-teen girl. After posting I got a little nervous that
 maybe I'd get banned and then decided screw it, who cares? Well it turns
 out the guy was a long time whiner and after I called him out a bunch of

 buy one.. I will buy it for you..

 But for Gawds sake.. tone down and tune out the I'm being picked on

 The ALDA is critical for getting extra power from the turbo.  The turbo

 amount of injected fuel.  Intake manifold pressure is routed to the ALDA
 to
 raise the rod when manifold pressure increases.   I believe the engine
 would
 run very rich (except at max boost) with the ALDA removed.


 Correct, at one altitude.  The ADA was introduced as altitude
 compensation, and if you ever drove a non Altitude compensated Diesel over
 I80 in CO, then you appreciate the device.  With the turbo models, the ADA
 became the ALDA.  Part of the function of the ALDA is reducing fuel as the
 car gains altitude.   Even at 4000 ft driving from Ka'u to Hilo on the
 island of Hawaii, an ADA or ALDA is appreciated.

 I found a place nearby that has bagged coal for $310/ton. I've read that
 1 ton of coal equals 3 cords of wood. I'm thinking that 2 tons of coal
 would easily heat our house with less work than wood and cheaper than wood
 or oil. The nice thing is that it can still burn wood, lots of people give
 me wood so thats free heat.

 I've got Angie mostly convinced.


 The old WonderWood/WonderCoal stoves are pretty decent, if you like the

Ahhh, only ones I have seen were quite small.  If your stove is that big
and you have to stoke it every hour then you need to learn how to burn it
properly.  With well seasoned wood you should be able to build up a bed of
coals and keep a decent fire all night long with no creosote buildup to
speak of.  If you are tending a stove that big every hour you are just
sending heat up the chimney and wasting a crapload of wood.

favor of the Hitzer.  I like it so much I sold my Alaska and bought another
just like it for upstairs.  Hitzer model 30-95, requires no electric to
burn, crank out heat like no tomorrow if you want or will burn 24 hours on
a 30 pound hopper on low.  Shaker grates and a nice ash pan keep it neat.
2 of them are keeping a drafty 1800+ square foot farmhouse with almost no
insulation and an open12 foot balloon frame tin roof at 70 when it was 0F
out and burning about $12-15 worth of coal a day to do it.  Not cheap, but
the house is drafty, the windows suck and we were burning a crapload of
wood and not staying as warm.  We tend these twice a day and leave them
be.

I thought the Alaska was great until I got a real coal stove.  The stoker
is noisy and requires electricity.  I only need that for the fan to
circulate now so less on that bill by a little.  The Hitzer is Amish made
and I have spoken with the owner of the company who will get on the phone
and answer any questions.  They will also sell parts direct at a very good
price.  Check them out at hitzer.com

 You burn coal? My parents have a very old coal stove from a railroad
 caboose, I remember Dad pulling it out of the remains of the caboose in the
 woods behind some guy's house.

 We've got a Jotul woodstove but wood is kinda spendy and a lot of work
 compared to coal. I saw a video on Vimeo about the Chubby stove
 http://chubbystove.com/ which looked real good. Unlike my parent's stove
 its got an ash pan and can be shaken with the door closed keeping the ash
 under control.

 I found a place nearby that has bagged coal for $310/ton. I've read that 1
 ton of coal equals 3 cords of wood. I'm thinking that 2 tons of coal would
 easily heat our house with less work than wood and cheaper than wood or
 oil. The nice thing is that it can still burn wood, lots of people give me
 wood so thats free heat.

 I've got Angie mostly convinced.

 Blizzards and ice storms used to be the norm here.  We don't worry.  Small
 generator will run the pump and fridge.  Coal stoves will burn as long as
 we can shovel a path to the coal pile just outside the back door.

 Just a day off with the kids.

Re: [MBZ] Vehicle diesel and Kerosene - Compatible?

Never try anything but K1 kero in a wick type heater.  If you can even get
ULSD to light you will ruin your entire house with the smell and possibly
die of carbon monoxide poisoning in the process.  The wood will keep you
warm.

 Hi all,
 we are expecting a big storm tomorrow evening and previous storms left
 us without power for as much as 12 days.  with the current cold weather I
 am concerned about keeping the house warm.   we have a wood stove insert
 and are getting a load of wood this afternoon as a potential backup heat
 source but we also have a Kerosene Heater that I use in the garage.  I have
 a supply of Kerosene but it will only last a day or 2 -- would it be
 acceptable to use some diesel from one of the MBs in a Kerosene heater if
 need be?   Last time the gas stations in a 15 mile radius were also without
 power

 Thanks -

Biggest difference is road surface.  Southern roads are smoother and ice up

Mike
On Jan 30, 2014 3:53 PM, Dieselhead 126die...@gmail.com wrote:

 A couple of differences between snow in the South and in the North are that
 it's often been warm prior to the snow in the South - the first ¼ of snow
 melts on contact with the road then freezes to ice while the rest of the
 snow covers it. This happens almost every time. Makes driving tricky. The
 other issue is the size of the population area that is reporting the
 gridlock, shutdowns, etc. the smaller towns/cities don't have much of an
 issue with snow. It's the million plus cars trying to get home all at once
 that cause the problems.


 We often get rain turning to snow in the north. slush freezes with snow on
 top.  That  does not count for the inability of southerners to drive on
 snow.
 Do the southern cities really have that many more cars than say CHicago?
  I doubt there is much difference, or fewer cars.

 Biggest differences are ill equipped and ill trained road crews and
 supervision along with masses of drivers that don't know how to drive.

 However with the proliferation of 4wd cars and SUVs, the latter is pretty
 ubiquitous.  In a one mile stretch along i-35 north of Des moines in every
 snow there is an average of 40 or so vehicles spun out in the ditch, and
 most are 4wd SUVs, with over half rolled.  THat is just plain stupidity.
  Sometimes it is so bad that there is no place to slide off without hitting
 some other moron.

Re: [MBZ] WHAT DRIVES SUCCESS IN AMERICA?

2014-01-26 Thread Michael Canfield
On a similar note, years ago, Ford noticed they were having a lot of
trouble with Ranger transmissions going bad.  They had 2 plants building
what were supposed to be identical assemblies.  One in the US, one in
Japan.  They noticed the units from the US plant seemed to be the ones with
the most failures.
  After much research they found the problem.  When an employees in Japan
was given a print and a part was supposed to be within a range of say
.002-.005 he would strive to get as close to perfect as possible while the
US worker would be happy as long as it was within spec.

Re: [MBZ] Seating Beads on New Tires

2013-12-27 Thread Michael Canfield
Easy on the ether in a little tire like that.  Just a quick shot works
better than a big one.  Get the bottom seated, spray, step back and light a
piece of paper to toss at the gap on top.  No need to hurry a lot, the
starting fluid needs time to mix with the air and won't come out the bottom.

Works almost every time.

  Any thoughts?  Thanks.

 Warm the tire as much as you can - but don't let _her_ find your
 tires in the oven.

 Soap up the bead and seat good.

 Press fit the bead to one side.

 Use a _big_ cargo strap, or better a chain to apply squeeze
 forces.  With the chain, use a pipe  to twist the chain tight.  It
 will take a lot of force to squeeze the tire bead out to the other
 seat.

 The tire mounting rigs use a blast of air to pop the tire open.
 You could make yourself one with an air tank and a 1-2 inch (2.5 -
 5 cm) pipe and valve.

 Finally, there's the extreme method.  Spray a couple second burst of
 starter fluid in the tire (best to get it inside the tire, not just
 on the rim. Also get it all around, not just in one spot), spray a
 fuse trail, light it, and at the moment the tire goes fooomph!
 apply as high a volume of air as you can through the valves stem.
 Best to have the core out to get higher flow.

 I'm not _advising_ this method, but I have used it successfully.

Replace camber adjusting bolts?  Unless the car is so rusty they won't come

If Martha wouldn't replace it then it doesn't need done.lol

I didn't catch the part about still sitting level.  Sure does seem like a
lot of work for it's old, it might go bad, new is better.  The whole car
is a collection of used parts, why pick out ones that aren't broken to
upgrade to new?  It'll be ok, make it drive nice and be safe and call it
good.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it is the motto around here.

 I would agree, as even my level of nit-pickyness wouldn't mandate
 replacing adjusting bolts unless they were coming out for another job.

 I see a lot of the work specified here as being near overkill.  How leaky
 are the rear struts?  Is the rear suspension clunking?  If the
 self-leveling system is working properly and not bottoming out under load
 or driving conditions, there is nothing that would indicate replacement of
 the major components.  I would add that a number of people have
 successfully rebuilt leaky rear struts as well.

 I wonder about the amount of work going into a car of that age.  You have
 to take a step back and ask yourself if it's really necessary.

  also, that's just hte upper hose. the lower hose might just be available
  only in tructec or genuine mercedes, so you might have to get the lower
  one in genuine or just live with the tructec. seems i too have a special
  agreement with monark to sell you those hoses, but i'd probably get a
  genuine one if i were you if the tructec actually turns out chinese

Re: [MBZ] Tar (Curt's tractor fronts)

2013-11-23 Thread Michael Canfield
The Amish folks have come up with all varieties of steel wheels.  Rubber
isolated with steel traction area, solid steel with rubber traction area,
and the list goes on.  They are great until you get on slippery sidehills
or frozen ground, then they get about as much traction as a toboggan.

I think the foam filled tires are a better solution for a work tractor that
gets used for many purposes all year long.

 The $100 eBay ball joint tool arrived today.  It looks nicely made and
 finished.  The drift mates nicely with the contour on the underside of the
 ball joint, although I previously pounded out the old joint using a big
 socket.  The tool fits snugly over the new ball joint boot without damaging
 the boot (also holding the new BJ securely in the tool).  The cutouts seem
 to provide good clearance between the knuckle and the tool when the new BJ
 is square with the knuckle.  I plan to go to a local shade-tree mechanic
 tomorrow and press in the first joint; I'll report back afterward.

 Here's a link to the directions that came with the tool.  It works with 123
 and 126 BJs and includes a spacer for 220s.

 How much trouble to RR the heater?  It's looks like a simple unscrew to

 It's hard to see under the intake manifold -- does the manifold need to

 Is this for the '78?.  The '85s I have use a different heater with
 a different cord.  Just for reference. (and another reason NOT to
 have an '85)

[MBZ] OT: Found on Craigslist......what do you think?

2013-11-04 Thread Michael Canfield
I found this on Craigslist and got doing some reading.  The post has been
flagged but I copied it from my Craigsnotifica app.  What they appear to be
doing seems almost supported by past practice..

What do you folks think of this and the laws supporting it?

 I’m very sorry to report that Roger passed away on September 16, 2013.  He
 had been battling several health issues stemming from the return of
  prostate cancer from 10 years prior.  He had not been corresponding via
 e-mail for about 8 months prior to his death.  He fought a courageous
 battle and when the time came he made an equally courageous decision to end
 the fight on his own terms.A wonderful memorial service was held
 on September
 29 here in Seattle with about 90 people attending.  Most were long time
 PCA/PNWR members who contributed some great stories of Roger’s time in the
 Club.  In honor of his 50-year service to PNWR, the Club is naming our
 annual Porsche Pusher Award for him.

[MBZ] Anyone near Madison, OH? Scammer problem.

2013-10-29 Thread Michael Canfield
Sent a money order out for a chip for my truck.  Been weeks and I paid for
Priority Shipping.  He has admitted in texts that he lied about shipping it
once already.

Is anyone near enough to Madison, OH to go knock on his door and get my
chip?  Or my $60 back?

His name is Dewayne Cantrell and after doing some searches it seems he has
been up to the same crap for a while now.

Thanks, Mike
