[MBZ] OT Furnace gig

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

Nothing stops a trainexcept a dead transformer!

a few days ago the thermostat quit.  (figgered it out on Monday, a 
holiday.  NOT good)    Lights had been flickering, so I figgered the low 
volts fried the thermostat.  Pulled it off a few days ago. (Monday)  no 
volts at the thermostat.   So, up to the furnace.  Volts into the 
transformer, no volts out.   H. HVAC forums are like Dr Booth 
and the Klima relay.  "They NEVER fail" Ooops!   I've had salvaged 
transformers for years and never needed one.   Well, they went up Nort. 
none here.  tried several places to buy a new one.  no dice.  Fleabay 
was about $20, HD was $35 but none in stock.   On Tuesday I went to 
Johnstone (HVAC supply) and paid $32 for a new one.   Ole one has spade 
terminals, 1/4 for high, 3/16 for low.   new one has wires.   Tried all 
over to find 3/16 male spade terminals to crimp on the wires.  No dice. 
tonight I decided to cut the low voltage terminals off the wires and use 
wire nuts on the low voltage side.


got it installed.  put the thermostat back on the wall.  It works! 
turned up the temp to make the furnace go on.


No heat!   What?

back up, looked at the board.  two flashes.

Restarted.   Igniter glowed, but no gaz.

reset, started again.  Same thing.   HI didn't hear or feel the gaz 
valve open or click.


look around. On the gaz solenoid, there is a marking ON and OFF and 
a little black plastic stub.  H   Pushed the stub toward ON.   
It moved!  Restarted:   Far in the hole!


Success!  Furnace is heating again.

Beware the 24v transformer on your furnace!  In spite of what the 
"experts" say, they DO burn out, and WILL leave you in the cold!


Fortunately the days here have been fairly warm.  Otherwise finding a 
transformer would have been a VERY HIGH priority!


This one was a trane, but the 24V thermostat is standard on all furnaces.

I would not worry.  If it runs, then it was probably done right.  ask 
how long ago the swap was done.


It is simple an engine swap.  Not much different from putting in an 
OM616.  It is a bit longer.  Have to swap for a 5 cyl GP relay too. 
Different fan shroud.

They are.

The 240D (1978 - 1985) is a 123.123.
The 300D naturally aspirated (1980 and 1981?) is a 123.130.
The 300D turbo is 123.133.

The 300D's after (1982?) were turbo from the factory.

Not clear, but it might be a helium inflated device so it would not need

Re: [MBZ] OM601, OM602, OM603 belt tensioner bearing info

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

Plus for 4-12 bucks, depending on brand of bearing, I can keep a spare 
tensioner on the shelf, full of new bearings.   For $50, I don't keep a 
spare, as they can rattle a long time with no damage.

How is MB supposed to stay in business so it can continue to make parts, if
the old cars are kept running forever - no one would buy any new ones then
- very sad for the stock holders ...

IIRC from my weather lessons in ground school, the winds on the coasts
switch direction every morning and night. In the middle of that switch,
they stop dead. How to keep the kite out of the water then? I guess you
have to go higher - longer wires, more resistance, more forces, etc. Even
with my limited time in the air, I can tell you that it does unexpected
things frequently, and should never be under-estimated.

Re: [MBZ] 123 Bubble

[Dwight Giles via Mercedes]

My view is that the bubble won't burst because of supply and demand 123's
-esp nice ones,are getting scarcer. Even if demand shifts to 124's good
123's will be hard to find.

Re: [MBZ] BAT Worthy?

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

He’s in Jaime’s neighborhood. He sold a 71 250S last year.

This is not a bad car, it’s just a driver quality car, that’s all. The ad copy 
sucks as it tries to pimp the car up when it just makes it all thatmuch worse 
because it’s inaccurate. I also like the "the seller observes that a repaint is 
likely”.

This is pure, unadulterated puffy shirt talk.

Man up, BAT, and just say that the car has been repainted at some point in the 
past. Really. It diminishes the reputation of BAT to make statements like that, 
I think.

Re: [MBZ] Finnie Fun

It is, however, the best plating shop in this part of the world and the only 
one I would trust to do it has a 5-6 month backlog. I paid $150 for the one I 
just installed. That’s about what it would cost me for replating the existing 
part.

Ahhh so it happens with older cars. Looks like the next best path is a

The problem is that none appear to be available, except a few in yurp for 
something in the area of 50 euro or 50 Bp when I can buy the whole assembly for 
$45 from FCP.

I took Jim's solution and ordered 2 6004-2RS FAG bearings for under $12

Nope. The plating is nearly gone on the other side, as it is on a number of 
other chrome bits on the car. Down to the point where the nickel is startgin to 
be exposed. Nothing left to polish.
