Re: [MBZ] OT - Score! FB Marketplace

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

Yeah, that’s half the battle, seeing it ASAP and pulling the trigger.

I’m surprised no one had jumped on the snowblower, as it had been listed since 
early yesterday. The weather has been glorious here for the last week or so, so 
possibly people weren’t looking? Usually these go fast.

One potential buyer made them an offer for $250 in the listing, which was a 
dumb move. Of course they told him “No”.

Yeah I've been looking for a rototiller but now is the wrong time of year. 
Should have moved faster on the Cub Cadet tiller that was listed here last 
winter, but by the time I called it was sold. Everything else right now is too 
far away or more than I want to spend.

I'll probably end up renting one for this spring, then look again in the fall.

[MBZ] OT - Score! FB Marketplace

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

I aggressively search for things I want/need in the off season if they’re 
seasonal. A good example? A snowblower for the Flagstaff house.

A really nice three year old Ariens came up on FB marketplace not more than a 
few streets over. Owner is moving to Phoenix, won’t need it there, just wants 
it gone.

Snagged it for $300. Just got it home and unloaded from the ML courtesy of the 
youngster. He was the one that wanted one anyway…

I’ll run it dry with some StaBil and change the oil so it’s ready for next 
winter when the snow comes. And it will.

Nice.

Depends.

Most states will allow an inspection at an approved facility and issue a 
“rebuilt” title if it passes. Do realize that a lot of mainline insurers won’t 
insure a car with a branded title.

[MBZ] OT - Planespotting

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

This ADSB receiver I got the boy is a major time suck. While we’ve still got to 
get a better antenna setup going, it still pulls in a lot of traffic overhead.

I’ve seen three FedEx planes on their way to Honolulu this afternoon, one of 
them an MD-11. Another FedEx MD-11 going from MEM to LAX right behind the other.

It’s also interesting how many private jets there are who don’t report their

It’s always lurking and can occur at any time. Looks like they did a lot of 
stuff to it - I wonder if the EGR is clogged and/or the intake manifold flaps 
have been dealt with?

It does look nice. Never heard of Kirklin, despite having traveled the 
backroads of Indiana for years. Definitely belongs to a farmer - note the JD

Re: [MBZ] A new reality of working on cars

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

For changing oil or exposure to old oil and grease, I use nitrile gloves I buy 
at HF when they have them on sale.

For other work that doesn't involve oil and grease, I use mechanics gloves. In 
addition to keeping your hands clean, they also help prevent soft tissue 
injuries when wrenches slip.

Yeah when you work in an office it's a bit awkward to have carbon from dirty

You also want to pull a vacuum for a while to be sure all the moisture boils 
out. Especially when you have had the system open and replaced parts.

You get used to gloves... there's little I can't do with them now.  It's
nice to keep your hands clean and somewhat protected, but also consider
the long term benefits.  Constant exposure to ancient oil, grease and dirt
isn't good for your long-term chances of getting cancer.

Re: [MBZ] A new reality of working on cars

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

This.

I wore gloves decades ago before it was fashionable. When you’re in contact 
with waste oil, chemicals and other nasty stuff on a daily basis, it just makes 
sense. I don’t want that stuff getting absorbed into my skin. A secondary 
benefit is the ability to have clean hands outside of your work.

I glove up whenever I work on my cars. Always.

You get used to gloves... there's little I can't do with them now.  It's
nice to keep your hands clean and somewhat protected, but also consider
the long term benefits.  Constant exposure to ancient oil, grease and dirt
isn't good for your long-term chances of getting cancer.

No.

> What does everyone else do?

Some say let it sit for several hours to a day and make sure it holds a vacuum. 
That makes sense on a customer car when you don't want to do it twice. For 
someone like me who's probably doing it again anyway, it's overkill. Vacuum an 
hour. Let it hold vacuum an hour. Recharge system.
That may be overkill to some.

I work better with bare fingers, but I hate bleeding.
Especially last month, hurrying with a hub swap, used a mallet and a

stout hit, let the juice out. Now have to quit working on the car for 
1/2 hour while I get the bleeding stopped. No fun at all.


But that was weeks ago, my thumb is mostly healed now.

[MBZ] AC vacuum time

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

Got the AC machine hooked up and pulled a vacuum for 10 minutes followed by a 
10 minute leak test. It passed. Now I have it set to pull a vacuum for an hour 
while I go in and get some lunch. After opening up a system I always pull 
vacuum for an hour. Is this overkill? What does everyone else do?

First time I remember seeing a 126 was at the MB dealership. One day my

Re: [MBZ] OT generator expert expert opinion

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

A couple of thoughts here:

1.) DRS Fermont, a big contractor to the DOD in the past, is long gone and the 
chance of finding spares would be slim to none.

2.) That being said, if it’s a regulator, generator technology is such that 
there is nothing unique about the design of such systems, meaning that it’s 
likely one could find a third party part to do the job. And that’s if it’s the 
regulator. If it’s winding issues, they’re scrap.

If the PS pump and box are working that’s the only other thing I can think of. 
Ball joints too maybe, or something in the steering shaft.

Re: [MBZ] Are w123s a major attraction to people?

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

I remember I was walking in downtown Boston in 83 or so and came around the 
corner of a building and saw a big 126 for the first time and thought WOW!!! 
that thing is amazing!  I had this thought that some day…. Then a few years 
later this guy I worked with had a 560SEL and we went to lunch in it one day. I 
was in lust. Lust in my loins.

That is very possible.  Now that it is moving freely, I will quickly have
this done.  I shouldn't have any further difficulties in the trip to the
garage to have this done, hopefully.  I never thought of that.  I rarely
use the car and rarely do have issues with this car. Thanks.

Re: [MBZ] Are w123s a major attraction to people?

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

The 76 240D that I have that was my grandmothers has ever single service record 
since new. This is the car I also took my drivers test in. Car has been sitting 
since 1997 waiting for me to drop an engine in it after the old one was ran out 
of oil. Why have I been putting this off?  Anyway it was kind of funny in that 
paperwork when the original owner bought it they had a piece of paper written 
out detailing the cost of the w123 that was coming out at the time vs the cost 
of this w115 and how much they would be saving.
They obviously ended up buying the 115.

Today I moved my '84 300 CD out of the garage, stored for winter, and the
steering wheel was sticky, stiff to turn and clicked a couple of times from
turning left to right .  Seems okay, now, but worried something might  be
wrong.  The fluid is not low, and it seems to be okay, but thinking it may
be stiffer than usual.  Any ideas on what could have caused this?  Thanks
