I've been working hard to get my '87 124 diesel wagon back on the road.
Original #14 head cracked and started mixing coolant into the oil a few
years ago, so I found a used #17 head and started taking things apart...
Fast forward to August 2014. #17 head has been installed, using new MB

Thanks!
I need to add that Manfred helped by stripping various brackets and
supports from an '87 wagon he found in a junkyard down Florida way. Fiddly
things I didn't want to purchase, but couldn't find myself. PO of my wagon
had removed things for some reason.

You mean the Ponton 190D right? My '84 is decent, faster than a 240D even with
the slushbox.
That said I've driven many miles in a 240D with no serious problems, you just
keep your foot all the way into it all the time and its fine. If people
complain so what?

Yea I'm buying a john Deere 3032, after research I got a deere which is top of

Hmm. Maybe I should point that deal out to the old man. We want a compact for
the farm, something with a loader and a bushhog that would be cheaper to run
than the Farmall Super M. A day running the Super M will run $50 in fuel, its a
thirsty beast.

Depends on what you're doing. Our Farmall (200) was very
thrifty, but it was used almost exclusively for light tasks.
Baling, raking, sickle-bar mowing, towing the hay trailer, etc.
The one time I recall plowing with it was

That looks very nice. I went to an estate auction in Houston once that
had some sort of Benz for sale, might have been a 300E, nothing very
special, and it went for stupid money.

Is that a 6.9?
No, the 450 has the 4.5L M117. The 6.9 variant, in standard MB
nomenclature, has a 6.9L M100 engine with electronic fuel injection
instead of mechanical.
Usually (if not always) has hydraulic suspension as well (like the SLS
on the rear of wagons, but on the front too).
Fairly uncommon,
But weren't the 6.9s badged as a 450SEL with the 6.9 on the right side?

Exactly. The car is a 450SEL (long wheel base W116) with a 6.9L
instead of a 4.5L V8. This is standard MB badging -- if the W116 had
originally had the 6.9 as designed, it would be badged as a 690SEL.
Fat chance on that, there was a very substantial difference in price
point, that 6.9L
Scroll all the way down, more car pictures, no 6.9 badge on right rear.

The system was leak tested by my indie last week. Schrader valves were fine,
