Re: [MBZ] '85 123 vacuum system

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

he is not getting the 20 psi to restore all functionality.


Atmospheric pressure is less than 15psi.  Vacuum is customarily
measured in inches or mm of mercury, not (negative) PSI.

Your guy's being pretty sloppy with his terminology.  Perhaps that's
not all that is sloppy?

Re: [MBZ] 300SDL?

[clay via Mercedes]

For the short while I owned an SDL, it was a real blast.  If the car is in very 
good condition, then I would jump on it.  Not a rodbender, and upgrades from 
the early w126.  Lots of leg room, land yacht feel, but the OM603 puts out 
enough power to get it moving.  No slower in my seat of the pants than a 380SE.

What to look out for would be the Trap oxidizer and that all the standard 
underhood items are functional.  Goes without saying that there should be a big 
stack of history in a file.

2002 s430 - Victor, a Stately & well tailored chap
1974 450sl -  Frosch - Two tone green
1976 300D - Blei Vanst - it looks silvery

Re: [MBZ] OT: C-47 glider towing

[Scott Ritchey via Mercedes]

The most widely-used US glider in WWII was the Waco CG-4 with 15 seats.  The
larger CG-10 could carry almost 11K lb of cargo (like two howitzers).  These
were basically one-time-use throw-away aircraft, a far cry from today's sail
planes.  I am surprised that any American did not know about this effort but
I guess much has changed since I went to school.  But maybe that explains
much.

So this means I have to kill things with my own hands to become pure?

Re: [MBZ] OT (?) Mice eating the wiring

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

You keep using the word humane but I don't think you know what it means.What 
you're really doing is live trapping a rabbit that will die later as a result 
of your actions. If its lucky it'll get hit by a car and killed cleanly. Much 
more likely it'll starve to death because it can't access food because the 
other rabbits in the area you've transported it to won't let it. Its also quite 
likely it'll be attacked by dogs or cats or other critters.
A good trap kills clean, the animal feels that one bite and its all over, no 
suffering.
So with your trap you doom the animal to suffer, I kill it cleanly. Tell me who 
is more humane?
You claim to never kill but eat plants and animals that would not have died 
were it not for your appetite. I'm not saying its wrong to survive, the lion 
eats the antelope and never considers it. What I'm saying is that you need to 
recognize that other things die so that you might live, don't minimize that by 
saying you don't kill, your very survival ensures that others die. Even 
vegetarians eat plants that would otherwise have fed wildlife.

I had a different problem this year.  The rustbucket SDL has been 
parked for the summer.  Behind the driver's side headlight, around the 
A/C pressure switch/drier there was a bunch of grass and mud.  No 
mouse nest, but it looked like something bigger had slept there.  My 
second though was packrat, but AFIK, no 4 legged pack rats around 
here.   (only 2 legged)  Pack rats build much bigger nests than this 
one was.   In the flint hills of KS, that is a different story, but 
none around here that I know of.  There are groundhogs though.


My suspicion is that a ground hog put the mud and grass there in the 
spring and then baked itself in the warmth under the black hood parked 
next to south and west facing building sided that blocked the wind and 
reflected the afternoon sun.


The critter had big teeth, as it bit through the LF TS wires, and 
chewed insulation off other wires and cut some other wires down in 
that corner.  I doubt the AC will ever run, so I didn't fix those.  I 
had to splice and insulate several other wires.  I've never heard of 
groundhogs sleeping in a car before.  I always get the oddball things.

Do you have squirrels? That sounds more likely to me.

Not a bad idea. A couple years ago I caught a ver small mouse sitting on top of 
the trap eating the cheese without setting it off...

Fellow out at the lake suggests using thread and tying a raisin onto the 
trap. The mouse has to work at it to get it and that sets off the trap.
We have been using peanut butter but the devils can lick it out of the 
trap without setting it off unless I use the crunchy style and push the 
nut pieces into the bait holder really good.

If Elvis were alive today, I doubt that he would do THAT to a Grosser.

Now why did I type THAT?
Of course it's a W109 6.3, not a 600. 

Don't know if Elvis owned one of those, but he and Priscilla did have a 600.
