Re: [MBZ] front/rear axle gear lubes

Both differentials would be Mobil 1 75W-90 gear oil. I would use Mobil 1 “multi vehicle” synthetic ATF in the transfer case. I say that because there is a big difference in viscosity between 236.10 (original recommendation) and 236.14 (current ATF spec). It’s a difference of 7.0 for 236.14 and

My Mom and Dad had an irrevocable trust. My brother was the administrator. Couldn’t have picked a better one, as he’s a corporate banker and very “black and white” when it comes to marching orders. When my Mom passed the trust was terminated and the assets distributed to us kids. As I

Jim, Make sure you have your cluster pulling hooks handy, as they make an excellent tool for pulling those loops from the seat cover through the pad while you hook them or insert the nylon wedges. It’s pretty cool how they arrange to get the upholstery to do what it does with a bunch of hooks

She did two seasons of it and really ragged on them big time. They’ve got it out for her like you can’t imagine. They’re right over in Clearwater and have pretty much killed the city. They own most of the property downtown and don’t do anything with it because they got pissed at the city a few

That is the real beauty of a trust. Everything is pretty much transparent to the heirs, and it’s a fairly simple matter for the trustee to execute the process for probate. -D > On Nov 14, 2020, at 7:30 PM, OK Don via Mercedes > wrote: > > When my father died in 2012, I was the trustee.

Re: [MBZ] OT: A Life Lesson

We have a trust set up in order to essentially bypass probate and convey all of our belongings, etc., to our children upon our passing. However, I would warn anyone considering a trust that they can be expensive and complex to set up. Our probate attorney typically doesn’t recommend them unless
