Re: [MBZ] Trimmer mowers

The DR trimmer mower was the original. My mom bought one of the first Craftsman knockoffs. It's good on decent terrain, but trying to wrestle a string trimmer on a 45 degree slope when it has a 5hp Briggs engine on it is not fun. For wide swaths, get a wheeled trimmer. For agility, get a pro

I’ve used RTV on washer bottles after cleaning them well, seems to hold up ok. Goop it on the inside and outside, work it into any cracks. It’s not easy getting it inside through the filler hole, use a dowel or something. It seems to stick to that plastic. HF sells some kind of plastic

Yes the 129 was based on a shortened 124 chassis. I started watching some vids of a Dutch guy stuffing a V12 from a 140 in his old 190E (except it wasn’t an E), I forget the chassis number on that car. He says the 129 with the V12 took quite a bit of rework by Porsche? (some other outfit) to

Re: [MBZ] R129 Motor Mounts

Methinks the Dutch guy is talking out of his bottom. There’s nothing in the R129 history that suggests Porsche was ever involved with the design or production. The engine compartment on that car is pretty big, even for the M119, so I don’t see where Mercedes would need assistance in dropping an

Exactly. That’s where the M119 really shines. You can be cruising at 65 or 70 on the interstate and put your foot into it and it’s like you just woke up the beast. More HP and torque there than you ever expected. I would expect the M120 to be even more responsive in similar situations. I will
