Re: [MBZ] New Addition to Dan's Acres

[Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes]

That is a good deal. Congrats.

The front bumper cover is about 700 from mercedes. I have one of the cheap
ones from Latvia sitting around if I would sell cheap.

Dont back into anything. The rear impact strip is nla and no aftermarket
parts here that I could find.

Factory CD changer is mint! I may need to find one. I wonder if it only
works with a Becker head unit.

They all need the fcp euro rear suspension overhaul.

Did they do the harnesses, or are you going to make one?

16" SL wheels are a nice upgrade.

160mph on 275hp?

Does it have ASR?

How is the headliner?

Amazon clear film on the headlights looks super.

Slightly better. 4.2 liters of displacement versus 4.0. Facelift model, (94-95) 
so the last and best of the design and enhancements to the W124 chassis.

Just loaded on the truck about 30 minutes ago. Should be here on Sunday or 
Monday.

Re: [MBZ] This is what you have to look forward to in 15-20 years when all the 124s and 210s are gone

[Kevin Kraly via Mercedes]

I had the hood up on the Sprinter today. It also has plastic covers of various 
sizes and shapes, under which I’m sure lies a 3.0l V6 Diesel engine. Everyone 
who has driven her says that she is very easy to drive and does very well on 
the road. My niece said that the cabin is designed much more ergonomically 
correct with simpler controls than the 2017 Honda Oddity van that was destined 
for the used car market before COVID-19 hit. The Sprinter is MUCH more van for 
the $10K price difference, way more room with similar fuel economy! It’s 
averaging 18MPG just like the Honda, and it should get better as it breaks in. 
It has no problem getting as high as 22.6MPG on mostly highway drives, probably 
capable of mid 20’s on a long hwy trip.

Doubtful they'll last that long.

Too much plastic, too much is unrepairable, or cost of repairs quickly
exceeds value of vehicle.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Robot Vacuums

[Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes]

Ok it was more then the Eufy. $449 on Scamazon with the vacuum base. It
could be worth it, as it finds it's way back and empties itself. The base
is also a vac so you really get two vacs.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07S864GPW/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_8b5OEbBGK3DJB

Anyway a bit more spendy to get bells and whistles but it requires a lot
less intervention. It is an Amazon pick with four stars and 2500 reviews,
FWIW.

Re: [MBZ] OT: A little humor

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 Actually now that I think of it I've bought bullets from a couple suppliers.
You can't ship loaded ammunition into MA but there is no restriction on 
components. Besides which I have the proper permit to own a gun and to buy 
powder. I can drive to Cabelas and buy components. I think I need my permit to 
buy powder but not primers or bullets or wads or shot.
I think some companies just avoid MA, NY, IL and CA because they don't want to 
keep up with the laws and don't want to accidentally run afoul if there are 
changes.

[MBZ] OT: A little humor

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

A moose once bit my sister.
Actually weirder than that. A few weeks ago I ordered some shotgun wads from 
Ballistic Products. I got a confirmation of the order but no confirmation of 
shipping and then the order looked really weird, zero dollars billed. Anyway I 
waited a couple days and sent them an email. They replied "Unfortunately, our 
system automatically removes reloading components from orders with a 
Massachusetts shipping address as we are currently only able to ship to 01 or 
07 FFL holders in Massachusetts or out of state addresses."
Which is bollocks, theres no reason they can't ship wads here. I've got another 
supplier that has sent me all manner of bullets no problem at all. For 
reference shotgun wads are little plastic cylinders that hold the bird shot 
away from the powder. I specifically wanted some to try in my muzzleloading 
shotgun and Ballistic carries a type its hard to get elsewhere.
Anyway today their catalog arrived, 75 pages of things I can't buy. I've never 
gotten their catalog before...

Re: [MBZ] June 1

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 Actually I might have the bullets sold. The lead in these isn't super useful 
to me for bullets as its usually pretty hard, muzzleloading wants pure lead.
Could make weights for the loader tractor though. I was going to fill a 5 
gallon bucket with concrete but a much smaller can of lead would be a lot 
heavier and take up less space.

Giving more thought to this it makes sense. It was the same way (and engine) 
with the W140s, too. This was about the time MB started messing with badging,

Re: [MBZ] New Addition to Dan's Acres

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Cool. Then my 400E was a sleeper. I never paid attention to the engine numbers. 
They’re probably both 112.974.

 done, too.
 
 More upon arrival. I’ll get it on the SDS and see what’s up with the

In comparison, the 275k 1993 400E I had would do 130 mph before I chickened 
out, with some pedal still left. This one will probably go just as fast, or up 
to 160 mph if it’s got the later brain box in it. The last of these they raised 
the limiter to 160 mph from something like 135 mph or thereabouts.

Slightly better. 4.2 liters of displacement versus 4.0. Facelift model, (94-95) 
so the last and best of the design and enhancements to the W124 chassis.

Just loaded on the truck about 30 minutes ago. Should be here on Sunday or

[MBZ] New Addition to Dan's Acres

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Bought a 1995 E420 from a guy in Columbus, OH today. Shipper is picking it up 
this afternoon/evening, should be here by Sunday or Monday.

Here are the details:

113k on the clock

Delivery (1995) to 2015 lived in South Florida
Seller bought it in 2015, took it to Columbus, OH
Kept in a heated garage, washed whenever there was snow or ice on the roads
Everything works, all original such as Becker radio, etc.
Has issue with brake booster according to owner, sounds more like a vacuum issue
Has intermittent ASR/ABS fault
Needs driver’s seat bottom cover (tears)
Owner says the paint on the roof is checkered, but I got some close up photos 
from him and if it is, I can barely see it. Might be a Martha thing.
Two sets of wheels (snows and summer)

$1500 sale price

This deal came together so quickly it was scary. We were frantically trying to 
find a way to transfer money around this afternoon after finding out the 
shipper was on their way already. I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to get a 
Hagerty policy issued before it got on the road, but that’s done, too.

More upon arrival. I’ll get it on the SDS and see what’s up with the ASR/ABS. 
I’m convinced the brake booster issue he’s described is a cracked vacuum line.

This car has these gaudy led lighting things all over the car that change color 
like you are in some sort of night club. Really?

Re: [MBZ] I'm thinking about Poos

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 Its my understanding that the helicopters have to be special low/no 
electronics models to survive the work which increases the demands on the 
pilots.
I read somewhere, maybe on here, that the pilots have an above average car 
crash rate coming down off the high that is daily work...

Re: [MBZ] Pine green 280SE 4.5 on BAT

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 You need more weight then, a mower or blade isn't all that heavy all things 
considered, couple hundred pounds maybe. If you're trying to counteract 3000# 
on the front you need at least 1500# on the back. Loaders have been around for 
60+ years, 4wd in tractors wasn't common until fairly recently...

My loader is good for 3000 lb.  Weight in back is important to relieve stress

Not exactly, I'd say "Tractors with loaders BENEFIT from 4wd". What the really 
need is a BHT, "big heavy thing". 

Once I get my garden tractor loader (furlough project) done its going to get 
about 100# of lead hung off the back to go with the 50# of wheel weights 
already on it. Might consider fluid filling the tires, haven't decided yet.

Re: [MBZ] Not half bad CLK430 needs top hydraulics

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Allan,

I'm not sure he sees a lot of W116 stuff, but it can’t hurt to ask. If he’s got 
the right color leather he can repair seat covers, too, so that’s an option as 
well.

His name is Craig and you can email him at: mscho...@sbcglobal.net

Tell him I sent you - I get nothing out of it other than the satisfaction of 
getting him more business. He’s done a great job for me over the years and I 
would love to see him be able to help more owners.

Who is your seat guy? I need the front seats and armrest recovered in my

Looks like it could be nice but need more photos and details. Might be $4k 
nice.

Re: [MBZ] FW: 1986 Mercedes 500 SEL project

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

This is one I see with some regularity over the years but don’t understand. I 
know the 500SEL, especially the gray market versions, are supposed to be very 
high performance vehicles for their time. However, most of the ones I’ve seen 
are in disrepair and just seem bodged up. The ask is often far beyond what a 
comparable W126 chassis car would be from the same time frame.

They don’t seem to get a lot of love.

Re: [MBZ] Not half bad CLK430 needs top hydraulics

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

I'm thinking something like $2200 would be a reasonable offer 
considering those requirements, then settle for $2300


That would be a fun ride.

 Seller's description…

Looking to trade or sell my old Mercedes for a 4x4 truck or Jeep 
Cherokee. The Good: engine and trans run great. Interior is decent minus 
a few trim pieces. Zero rust on this car because it came from 
California. Clean Tennessee title. She’s a head turner for sure. The 
Bad: previous owner cut a hole in the hood for a diesel stack (kinda 
cool if you’re into it). A/C system is completely removed. Engine leaks 
a little oil which is common for these old diesels. Odometer stopped 
working so true mileage is unknown.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Robot Vacuums

[Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes]

We have a dumb one and a smarter one. The dumb one is a Eufy. It rumbles
around randomly. Never finds it's way back to the charger. Very durable
however. Amazing it still functions. Runs daily.

The other one was a gift. It is a Shark. They seem to have favorable
ratings. It has a stand with another vacuum in it to empty it's own dust
bin into a larger stationary bin. It learns the floor layout of the house
over time and optimizes the cleaning pattern. It runs systematically, like
you would till a field with a tractor and implement, or mow the lawn.
Because it sort of knows where it is, it generally finds it's way back to
the stand to recharge. It sends me a text if it gets hung up somewhere, or
if the battery runs low. It occasionally speaks, which can be startling if
you didnt know it was under the couch beneath you.

Overall the shark does a better job and I'm not sure it was that much more
expensive than the eufy. It is several years newer however. I think these
devices are improving rapidly at the same price point. Hoping it has a mute
button, which it probably does in the phone app somewhere.

Alright guys, I'm selling my 1970 Mercedes 220D. 98k miles. Mint

owner was the lady I bought it from who got it off of the showroom floor 
in 1970. I have copy's of the original bill of sale. It has a crack in 
the windshield and a deep scratch on the right front fender about 6 
inches long. Other than that it's in good condition. Runs great but 
doesn’t like cold mornings. Not in a bind to sell but if you would like 
to turn it into something extraordinary and you appreciate the worth of

[MBZ] OT - Robot Vacuums

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I had asked for opinions and recommendations on robot vacuums a while back and 
come to the conclusion that this was not something I felt was justified.

I reversed my position recently and bought one of these:

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B079QYYGF1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My observations and opinion after a couple of weeks:

All in all it works well. Occasionally gets tangled up in things, but for the 
most part is pretty well autonomous. It definitely doesn’t replace sweeping, 
but goes a long way in keeping the “tumbleweeds” and such gone that occur 
between sweepings. With hardwood floors and a cat, even though she doesn’t shed 
a great deal, there’s a noticeable improvement in cleanliness from fur and dust 
bunnies.

This particular model isn’t that “smart”, but it seems to do a pretty thorough 
job for the most part. It’s amazing to see it get under the table and into a 
forest of chair legs and find it’s way out.

So call me a convert. This doesn’t replace sweeping, but augments it to the 
point of cutting down the frequency somewhat.

Re: [MBZ] June 1

I’m just yanking your chain, buddy.

But really, I needed a kick in the pants, virtually or otherwise, to get some 
of this stuff done. More time working at home just made it harder, as it’s easy 
to get fired up about doing something when you’re stuck behind a desk at work. 
That physical separation has a big effect on my willingness to get things done.

The tie rod and steering boot was a lot easier than I had expected, which is 
good. That sort of gave me the inertia to keep moving on this stuff and get it 
knocked out. The weather is pretty rowdy here so I’m not sure how much I’ll get 
done today, but progress is progress.

Hope those brown shirts aren’t running you into the ground. My driver said it’s 
so busy it’s almost like the holidays.
