It looks like most of what is pictured is 48" deep uprights. I choose to go
for 32 inch deep rack because 4' deep shelves are too deep to easily get
access to whatever is pushed to the back. Plus, I didn't want to give up 4
ft of the perimeter of the building. Also, narrower racks are not as
popular with warehouses which usually use both sides in long pallet rack
runs, so it's cheaper..
Keep looking, the right deal will come. With the present economy, there are
a lot of stores closing, so should be a bunch of "slightly used"
pallet rack on the market in near future.
You decide what will best work for you.

Re: [MBZ] Okie shop

I almost always work by myself, so moving a dead car onto a rack, or around
the shop is a pain.
That's why my rule is make it easy, straight in, straight out, and use your
concrete drill to drive a thread insert to mount a pull point for a
electric winch then let your finger pull in the car.. you'll feel a lot
more like working on it when your back doesn't hurt from horsing it into
position to lift.
Cheat when you can. ;))

Re: [MBZ] Okie shop

It is older heavy duty rack, not bent [do NOT buy bent rack, it will hurt
you] the paint is crappy, so it's not pretty, but it's solid. I got the
whole batch for $350. Later went back and bought more cross beams [to make
more shelves.. another $250. So, all in $600.
You need a helper to set up the racking.. don't try 12 ft uprights by
yourself..

Re: [MBZ] Okie shop

There are 2 other overhead doors, but the 2 smaller ones are right 
across from each other at the back as seen in the photos. Neither of 
those would work very well for straight in.

where the door would go.]  Same thing, straight in, straight out. Then you
actually can use the second lift, instead of shoehorning a car into an

How much did you have to pay for it?

I bet there is a local company that deals in used pallet racking. That is

Re: [MBZ] Okie shop

I have been somewhat keeping an eye out for pallet racks, but need to 
step up the search.  Don't need a fork lift as the tractor will lift as 
high as I would want to go.

The pallet rack I have is 12 ft tall, the fork lift I have will lift 12
ft.  Bolt the pallet rack to the floor, and the building walls, so it is
"tip resistant" [unless you do something really stupid].
THEN, organize all the "stuff" that is taking up floor space on the racks
where you can get to it. Suddenly, you can find stuff for each project car
because you allocated rack space to THAT project.
Suddenly, you have work space for each car instead of clutter..

either a

Re: [MBZ] Way OT: Dental implant

Got top left wisdom tooth yanked today. Wasn't bothering me, but I had the 
lower one out a few years ago and the top one was slowly falling out because 
there was nothing below it.

After the extraction the dentist said the root was infected so good thing it 
was done.

The crown/cap expense on top of the implants he ballparked at $1,000. Going 
back in two weeks for a checkup on today's extraction and further deliberations 
on the implant proposal.

Re: [MBZ] Okie shop

Every time I have tried to sell small items on CL or eBay it has ended up being 
more work and hassle than was anywhere close to being worth the time for the 
money.

If you have stuff you haven't touched in 5 - 10 years (some would say less), 
unless it is some kind of family heirloom/keepsake, get rid of it.

I posted my horde of benz bits on CL for pennies on the dollar.  Got a few 
hundred bucks for a box truck full of goodies.  And that was for parts I had no

Re: [MBZ] Rare car great color 1974 Mercedes Benz 450 SLC - $15, 000

2021-10-14 Thread Clay via Mercedes

I like it.  Good option for GNW where it has been snowing all day.  Head liner 
is probably less to make good than soft top.  Carpet and leather are NLA, but a 
good upholstery shop can fab close enough.   The asking price is on the VERY 
high side if there are issues.  I would expect fully sorted Djet, new 
injectors, all new rubber bits in drive line and seals.  Absolutely no rust at 
all anywhere.  Suspension updated in the past five years with new tires.

Re: [MBZ] Okie shop

The hardest part is figuring out what to do with all the crap. I have a couple 
of additional shelving units to put it but I don’t think even that will be 
enough. 

I think putting it straight in the door would be easier to get a non opp car on 
it and would probably net more room to work around it, but I want to also 
maximize area to store cars indoors.  When I say store cars I mean running cars 
that I can easily pull in and out when I need the space for work.

Having owned that vintage SL, there are too few photos to be able to give a yea 
or nay.  Priced as if there is a long list of issues to address.  Specially 
with low miles that tell me it does not get out enough to have been cared for 
over the past 48 years.  Though I barely got above 2k miles per annum on Froggy 
during my ownership.

Re: [MBZ] Okie shop

I was thinking of angling it to the left of that other lift, toward the smaller 
door. If I do it to the right it will be a real tight turn trying to get it in. 
If I do it straight in, if far enough in I would have room to park cars behind 
it and should have room to the right to get around it and park cars in that 
spot to the left of the other lift, as well as to the right of it.

Re: [MBZ] 240d won’t shift

I’m going to have to get it up on the lift when I get the lift done. It was 
shifting fine when parked but I think the linkage or something has frozen up 
from sitting.

I know - Kent and Mercedessource, but it has some information. Most of
what I could find on the net suggests linkage issues and possibly broken
or missing shifter bushings.
Several posts of lists but not much advising as to the resolution of the
problem.

[MBZ] 240d won’t shift

I’m in the process of moving cars out of the shop so I can clean and organize 
things then get both my lifts up and going. It is ridiculous how much crap I 
got piled up around here. It may get to the point I just want to get rid of all

It hit s certain point then stopped. I got it to go the rest of the way and it 
didn’t seem to want to return. Eventually pedal seemed to operate normally but 
the shifter is toward the left and will only move up and down. It won’t move at 
all with the engine running. It will only seem to go into neutral or reverse. 
In order to get it into reverse I have to shut the engine off, shift to 
reverse, then push pedal in and start it. Letting clutch out works like normal 
and we reverse. Push it back in and it will not shift out of reverse unless I 
shut engine off. Any ideas? Shifter won’t move to the right at all. Car has 
been sitting in the shop for probably 3-4 years but fired right up. Pic 
attached showing the prized vehicles of Okie acres. At least 3 of them. All 3

Re: [MBZ] Bill Blass edition Lincoln Turbodiesel on BAT

2021-10-14 Thread Randy Bennell via Mercedes

Other potential issues too. I know a fellow who had a gas version that 
looked like that. Not certain of the year.
His car developed problems with the ABS brake system and parts for it 
were almost unobtainable. I think they finally found used parts and 
patched it up so that he could sell it.

Yep.
A big Lincoln boat anchor with 524TD power.
And 524TD were a lot less reliable than 324D.

But I don't think they were as eager to blow up in Lincolns as they 
were in Vixens. 50kmi was a great life for a diesel Vixen. And for all 
its high strung fragility, it wasn't that much more potent than a 
OM602 turbo.

I would have been on that about 15-20 years ago when I wanted one.
But those 2.4L sixes are not as reliable as OM616 or 603.
