Re: [MBZ] For AZ Bob

[clay monroe via Mercedes]

I have seen both of these in the PnP.   While the Kia has shown great increases 
in build and quality.  The Mercedes cars no longer are quality examples we know 
and drive.  They have become on par with a Hyundai or  Kia of comparable 
vintage.  Sad truth, which is why very few of us will see a Mercedes younger 
than the W124 reach the exalted million mile mark.

Waytago!    Glad the car is back on the road!

Functional, is more important than appearance.

Re: [MBZ] 300CD door handle

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

If it is similar to a regular 123, there is one screw that holds it in.  
If it has a plastic "pocket" under the latch, you need a sharp stick, or 
a small screwdriver, etc to pull that out from its catches.  Then you 
will see the screw.   Release rod is just held on with a clip.   Easy!

Back in the 1990s, a friend of mine in CT claimed that Martha walked into a gun 
store while he was there. She was looking for somebody to come to her 
neighborhood and shoot the deer who were eating her ornamental plantings and 
tearing up her landscaping. They had to clue her in on a few details, like game 
seasons, bag limits, and especially bans on shooting in residential areas.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Compost from road kill

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

There was a recent case in which a LEO was prosecuted for that. 
He was called to the scene to provide a salvage tag for the deer.
He refused to issue a salvage tag (minor dereliction of duty), and then was 
seen later sawing the antlers off of it without issuing himself a tag first 
(big fish and game violation).

Re: [MBZ] OT: Compost from road kill

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

In WI if you hit a deer you have to buy a tag if you want to keep it.

I hit a deer years ago with my brand new Chevy Suburban. The deer didn’t 
survive, and while I was surveying the damage to my truck two kids in a K car 
pull over, grab the carcass, toss it in their trunk and take off. I’m up 
thinking that, “That was nice of them, saves the highway guys the hassle of 
cleaning up.”

When I call the sheriff’s office to report the damage they were more worried 
about who took the deer. The sheriff wanted a description of the two guys and 
their car rather than filling out an accident report for me.

Re: [MBZ] Pretty 79 Saab sells for peanuts

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

All the EMS back in those days came from the plant in Belgium, where all Saab 
rust buckets were born. 
I had to have the body welded on my '77 EMS at the upper shock mounts too. 
Ever put your foot to the floor and leave it there?
Mine would hit 7,000 rpm in 4th gear, well beyond redline and around 123 mph. 
I cracked a valve lifter doing that, oops.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Compost from road kill

10,000 bambis a year hit, x what? $3500 damage to each vehicle on 
average?  That is $35,000,000 a year in damages to vehicles just in MD, 
a state not known for deer hunting or big deer.


If there are 20 states at that rate, the damage would be $700 million a 
year.   I sispect there are more than 200,000 bambi hits a year, plus 
this does not include the ones where bambi didn't die, or wandered off 
the right of way before croaking.   Safe to say that over a billion a 
year damage done to vehicles.



Eat more Bambi!  Save on insurance!
Lobby your legislature for open season anytime the temp is below 40º at 
night.

An EMS or better yet, a turbo, would have gone for more, but the installation 
of the later 5 speed would seem to be desirable. 

Maybe the old 8 valve 900s get no love, like the pre-turbo W123 diesels?

 

If it were a 99 model from 1978 instead of a 900 from 1979 I think it would 
have gone a lot higher. 

(they still had 99s in 1979 and 1980, but they were value leaders and the ones 
ones I remember were two door sedans, the higher trims, EMS/GLE/TURBO, went to 
the 900 chassis in 1979)

W123 battery in the same place as W201 and W126, on the engine firewall.

Water flows downhill, the rear footwells are the lowest point in the car.

Re: [MBZ] Under battery rust repair

[Randy Bennell via Mercedes]

I have never had a 123 so tell me, where is the battery and why does the 
leak show up in the back seat area? Is the battery not under the hood? I 
know on some of the newer cars, it is under the back seat, but I did not 
think that to be the case on the 123.

under the battery tray which plagues even rust free w123s.

So after removing battery and tray, I did find a smallish hole. I cleaned it up 
from both sides and patched with fiberglass and POR-15 a la Kent Bergsma.

I will leak test once the weather warms up a bit!

I'd go now. If you wait, someone will cut/break/tear/rip/shred
whatever you think is most valuable.  They may even be trying to
get some low-cost non-valuable part out, but most likely just
wanton damage.

At least that what would happen to me.

[MBZ] OT: Compost from road kill

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

MARYLANDHighway agency turns its roadkill compost into turfPublished:
Friday, December 7, 2018

Deer are acting up for mating season — and while that means more collisions
with motorists and more roadkill, for the Maryland State Highway
Administration, it also means more compost.

Spokesman Charlie Gischlar said the administration has been turning dead
deer into compost since 2004, when the program started in Carroll County,
Md. Now, there's a second facility in Frederick County that helps in the
effort.

The recipe is simple: deer carcasses, manure and wood chips. Let that
decompose long enough, and you've got compost.

Gary Felton, an associate professor and agricultural extension specialist
with the University of Maryland for almost 25 years, said the deer
concoction checks all the boxes of a good compost — but it suffers from two
major problems.

"Big bones don't decompose very fast, so you end up with big bones if you
don't sift [the compost]," Felton said. "That's a common thing to do, but
for the State Highway Administration, that means more money."

And the second problem he listed is exactly what you'd imagine: "The
concept that people have of 'yuck, that's a dead body.'"

The deer compost naturally heats up to temperatures between 130 and 160
degrees Fahrenheit when the microbes in the mix are consuming carbon,
Felton said, so the final product is pathogen-free.

Even so, Gischlar said, the mix is only used to enrich native wildflowers
near roads.

Felton, who has advised the administration on their compost, said this year
the mix was also extended to growing turf in medians and beside roads — and
that even though it was safe to use on all plants, those two projects used
up the State Highway Administration's supply of deer compost.

There's no one place to find the number of deer struck by motorists in
Maryland per year, but administration data show that between January and
October of this year, its workers have responded to 9,800 reports of deer
carcasses on state roads.

Gischlar said the deer that are not composted are either buried or given to
outside rendering companies. *— Savannah Williams, Capital News

[MBZ] Absolutely sickening

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

I am currently at the pnp and there is a 80 300SD sitting here that just 
arrived. Totally rust free, interior except for being taken apart is beautiful 
and front and rear seats appear to have had the padding replaced not too long 
ago. In the back seat is a full set of and records in a huge folder appearing 
to go back to when the car was new. Unbelievable. Had lots of work done at the 
local Indy here.  I wonder where this car turned up from?

Re: [MBZ] Pretty 79 Saab sells for peanuts

An EMS or better yet, a turbo, would have gone for more, but the installation of the later 5 speed would seem to be desirable. Maybe the old 8 valve 900s get no love, like the pre-turbo W123 diesels?If it were a 99 model from 1978 instead of a 900 from 1979 I think it would have gone a lot higher. (they still had 99s in 1979 and 1980, but they were value leaders and the ones ones I remember were two door sedans, the higher trims, EMS/GLE/TURBO, went to the 900 chassis in 1979)Mitch.

I'm pretty sure the spinning of the speedometer is what drives the
