Re: [MBZ] OT Snowmobiles
I think the Snoman pass is somewhere around that but then it would also require registration and insurance. Not sure what those run these days. In addition, I would likely want 2 machines so it does get a bit expensive for the basic annual costs even if one buys antique machines. My father bought the 1970 Ski-doo brand new for about $700. It had pretty light use and my mother sold it sometime after my father passed away in 1983. At the time I really did not care but now I wish we still had it. Randy On 11/02/2013 6:15 PM, Curt Raymond wrote: Looks like its $105 for yearly registration and trail pass which for here would be a lot but you've got a longer season than we do and more mileage of trails. A snowmobile chaincase is really simple, the reversing gear is just a gear on a sliding shaft. What happens is people don't wait for the engine to spin down before they shift and they eat either the reversing gear or the gear it mates to. The worst thing is all the junk you need to get out of the way to get to the chaincase, the exhaust at the very least but usually some coolant plumbing too, some Polaris machines have a liquid cooled brake disk there as well. I've got a 1970 Olympique 12/3 (12hp, 300cc) which is one of my favorite machines. I've had mine since 2001, I rebuilt the engine once but it probably needs it again as I really didn't know what I was doing last time. It still runs but is down on compression. I put a modern replacement track on mine, the 3/4 lugs are much better than stock. My Panther has a cleated track which is good in deep snow but awful on ice, you'd think the cleats would grab the ice but you'd be completely wrong. They make picks that go in the cleats and help but a lot of machines get converted to rubber tracks instead as the picks can eat the tunnel if you're not careful. Plus the rubber track is lighter. -Curt Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:09:15 -0600 From: Randy Bennell rbenn...@bennell.ca To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT Snowmobiles Message-ID: 51194feb.9010...@bennell.ca Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed You can no doubt ride on private property here as well. I don't have that luxury. Cannot think of anyone I know that has more than maybe 8 to 10 acres. There are long trails accross country here but pretty expensive to join the club so one has the licence to ride on the trails. Not sure how the rest of it works. Have a friend who has 2 machines so should ask him. He has one that is broken and we have promised to help him fix it. I believe it is a fairly late model Arctic Cat and it won't shift into gear or some such issue. (I think it has reverse so one can back it up). When I had snowmobiles, they did not have gears. I had 3 different ones but all in the period from about 1970 to 1975, so long time ago now. I had a Ski-doo Olympic 18 HP single cylinder Rotax, and a 400CC twin cylinder Polaris and then a 400CC twin cylinder Mercury. My father had a 12HP Ski-doo Olympic single cylinder Rotax. It was probably the best of the bunch. Not super fast but light weight so easy to shift around. I could load it on the pickup by myself. The fuel tank was up front so the back was light. I could lift the back end up onto the edge of the tailgate and then go to the front and lift the front end by the skiis and just push it backwards. Those old machines did not have much in terms of lugs on the tracks so they would not do all that well in deep snow unless one could keep some forward momentum. Climbing hills was not all that great unless one was in a really open area and could keep the speed up. Friends had some of the machines with the steel bars accross the tracks and they could practically climb trees with them.

[MBZ] Book, Wilton's stories
Well, here's another one, anyway. DING! DING! DING! By Wilton Strickland From 4 Feb 1978 to 8 Feb 1979, I was Director of Engineering, in charge of all construction and maintenance of all physical facilities at Sondrestrom Air Base, Greenland. For two to three weeks during the holiday season in Dec and Jan, I was also acting Base Commander while our regular Base Commander was away on leave. At about 1 to 2 AM on New Years Day, I was awakened by a call from our Security Police Chief, a very capable master sergeant. He reported to me that our American civilian Officers' Club (O'club) and Base Exchange (BX) managers had been in an altercation at the O'club, that he had arrested them, had them both in jail, could I please go the jail, talk to them and advise him as to how he should proceed. A few minutes later, when I arrived at the jail, I found the two men sitting in separate cells with the doors open. After talking to the Chief, a couple of other witnesses and the two men, I surmised that the BX manager, a man of small stature and Hispanic ancestry had been sitting at the O'club bar right by a bell that customers could ring to occasionally signal that they were buying drinks for the house or for those at the bar as local tradition may dictate. Meanwhile, the O'club manager, a big, tall and robust man of African ancestry, had answered the phone, also on the bar and near the bell. While the O'club manager was on the phone, BX manager, who had had too much to drink, reached over and rang the bell, DING! which by then was right beside the O'club manager's head. O'club manager asked BX manager, Please don't ring the bell like that while I'm on the phone. BX manager replied, I'll ring the bell any time I want, and proceeded with DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! O'club manager retorted with, I said don't ring the bell like that right in my ear while I'm on the phone! BX manager retorted, again, And I said I'll ring it anytime I want - DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! If you don't like it, come outside and I'll TEACH you to like it! They proceeded outside, where BX manager began to swing wildly at O'club manager, who was holding the much smaller and shorter man away from him with one hand on BX manager's head as BX manger continued to swing many times into the empty space under O'club manager's outstretched arm but never making any contact. O'club manager kept telling BX manager, Please stop! If you don't stop, I'm gonna hafta to hit ya; I don't wanta hit ya! BX manage kept swinging; O'club manager told 'im several more times, Stop, or I'm gonna hafta hit ya; I'm gonna hit ya if ya don't stop! BX manager kept swinging wildly; O'club manager, after several more warnings, finally popped BX manager one blow in one eye with his fisted free hand. When talking to BX manager at the jail, he at first would not open his eyes, and kept saying to me, I can't see, I can't see! He blinded me! I can't see! I wanta press charges! I can't see! He blinded me! I replied, If you'll open your eyes, you'll be able to see a lot better. He kept insisting for several more times, though, I can't see! I can't see! I wanta press charges! I replied, Nobody's pressing charges right now. Just open your eyes, and you'll be able to see. You can talk more about charges and take care of that in the morning after you get some sleep, but right now, you need to open your eyes and see me sitting here in front of you. I need to know if you can see me. Just open your eyes and tell me what you see. I finally got him to open his eyes and convinced him that he could see much better with is eyes open. After a few more minutes of discussion with each man separately, I got them both to agree to ride with me in my truck to our dormitory, where BX manger's room was directly across the hall from my room, and O'club manager's room was just down the hall. I escorted them to their rooms and got them to promise to go to bed immediately and not come back out until they'd meet me outside my door at 1000 the next morning. Next morning at 1000, I heard them laughing and joshing each other outside my door just before they knocked on it. I answered the door immediately to find them standing in the hall grinning and with their arms around each other - the much taller, bigger man's arm across the smaller man's shoulders; the smaller man's arm around the bigger man's back as far as it could reach. I immediately invited them inside and, after we all sat down, I asked BX manager if there were anything he'd like to say to O'club manager. He replied, Well, I did already but, yes, Sir, I'm sorry I was such a fool. I shouldn't have rung the bell like that, and I shouldn't have made such a fool of myself. I looked at O'club manager for any response. He replied, Hey, man, I didn't wanta hit ya. I'm sorry I hit ya like that. I asked BX manager if he could see OK. He responded,

Re: [MBZ] MBUSA Roadside Assistance
No Roadside service for me. Last time I took a car to the MB stealership: Was scheduled to bring it in at 8 AM. Sat there until 2 pm when I finally brought the car in to work on. I saw it go out about 30 min. later. Got the bill to pay around 3 pm. Was charged for 5 hours labor to replace the steering flex coupler. (loosen 2 bolts, pull up the wheel, pull out the old, in with the new, push it in, and tighten 2 bolts. ) I protested that they only had the car in for a half hour. Was told that they go by the book and 5 hrs was the flat rate. Asked to talk to the mgr. Got the same song. Pay the bill or we will take your car. Never been back to a MB stealership for service since, NOR have I EVER recommended a stealership to anyone in the past 41 years. The only good thing about it was that the mechanic was the top guy, so at least he hopefully got a bonus out of it. But knowing the stealership, the owner probably kept all of 4.5 hrs and paid they guy for the 30 min. Never bought a car from the crooks either. I have bought several Kleb kars. 2 of the best of those actually came from Kleb. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] MBUSA Roadside Assistance
That would equal an expensive oil change. Better off buying AAA plus for $100 per year. You get free towing for up to 100 miles. Free towing for 100 miles? not around this part of the country. Last time I used AAA maybe 5 yrs ago, the free tow was something like 2 miles. I had to pay something like $70 on top of the free tow to get the car something like 20 miles to home. Last time i paid AAA also. All those years I paid those bozos to spam insecurance ads to me counted for nothing when I actually needed them. they still send me insecurance spam. MB Diesels are so reliable, that you and I are MUCH better off to just pay the tow truck on the rare occasion we need one. On that occasion it would have cost me $10 or $15 more if I had just called the truck myself, and I probably could have negotiated that down prior to the dispatch. Makes AAA worth $5 or $10 a year. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
