I dont really agree with that.  There are not near than many 10 year old 
turd cars, although there are lots.

How many 10 year old or older local Mercedes have you looked at have not

In my opinion, 90% of all vehicles over 10 years old that are for sale are
turds, so why would what's being sold on eBay be any different?

Also, I have a 1959 220S for sale locally  I refuse to list it on eBay.
Why? Because I'm a eBay reseller (http://stores.ebay.com/Tom-Hargrave-Sales)

Re: [MBZ] OT, boot from external drive

2007-06-05 Thread Kaleb C. Striplin
well we used it at the RustyQ, then when we got back  home all the 
sudden it wouldnt boot.  The DVD drive stopped reading disks all the 
sudden for the PO and we just never replaced it.  So using the restore 
cd to restore it wouldnt work without the drive.  I hooked the external 
up but it was set to read the disk in its own drive so even though it 
sould boot from the external, it wouldnt do the restore.  Ended up 
taking the drive out of the other laptop and fitting it to the Toshiba. 
 Got it restored but its doing something wierd.  It supposedly restored 
it to new configuration.  I noticed when you opened some windows to 
change settings, it would be a WIDE window that you drag over and it 
never seems to end.  Also, no text shows up in the windows.  So like if 
you open a box to change something, none of the text shows up on the 
buttons or tabs.  Its the strangest thing I have ever seen.

For instance if the Carfax comes back on the car I'm currently seriously

that may push me over the edge in terms of my doubts as to whether it may
have been quickly and cheaply spiffied up by one of these foreigner

The question is, more specificly, how does Autocheck compare to Carfax?

All the local autotrader magazine ads also go on autotrader.com now. 
Been that way for a while so you get a wide exposure nationwide.  Still, 
there are certain vehicles which do better on ebay.


Ralph Morton wrote:

I'm not sure I agree with Mitch's comments - here's
why:

eBay gives you coverage and exposure to an
overwhelmingly large audience, making it far easier to
find a potential buyer.  Contrast this with the days
of Auto Trader (sorry, Kleb!) and other local types
of classified selling.

Certainly, as with any venue like this, it's always
buyer beware, even more so due to the fact that the
seller and buyer are rarely withing reasonable
distances.

Even taking this into consideration, anyone who buys a
used car without a PPI is out of their mind, or is
otherwise willing to accept whatever faults or flaws
come their way.

I have purchased a number of cars on eBay, and using
the practices above, never felt I got ripped off or
that the car was misrepresented.

As for feedback, it's a very powerful tool, and should
be used carefully.  That being said, like any rating
system, you have to look at it wholistically, not just
as a raw number.  If I see someone doesn't have 100%
feedback, I go and look at their history.  In many
cases, it's because they screwed up early in the game
(as many budding eBay'ers do) and either burned soeone
unintentionally or pissed off a seasoned buyer/seller
who took out their wrath on a newbie.

However, if I see someone who has 1000 feedbacks with
a 98% rating, I will usually pass.  Their history
usually reveals their lack of business ethics.

You gotta look at the big picture... and when dealing
with folks on eBay, make it clear that they should
contact you with ANY problems or concerns before
posting feedback.  That's the way it should be.

[MBZ] OT: welders, again

2007-06-05 Thread Allan Streib
Think this was hashed through recently, but since I was not really in
the market I glossed over the thread.

I have an old Wheel Horse lawn tractor.  The mower deck hangs from the
a lift mechanism under the tractor by a bracket that is bolted to the
deck.

The deck sheet metal must be slightly too thin, because over the years
metal fatigue has caused the bolts to pull through the deck, taking a
small section of the deck with them.

The deck is otherwise sound, and the tractor is otherwise built like a
tank and very reliable, so I'm thinking of trying to grind the
fatigued area back to solid metal and weld in a patch.

I've never done any welding, but I can foresee that having a welder
could be very handy.  Plus for the cost of a new deck for the mower I
could probably come very close to buying a welder.  So I am wondering
what might be a good welder to start off with.  My garage is already
equipped with a 240 outlet.

I've heard that TIG welders have more flexibility but are harder to
learn.  Would a wire-feed MIG unit be a good choice?  How hard is it
to learn from books/video?

There are a few minor differences I noticed.

I like to keep mine since it just got rebuilt and I have no idea what

on the 126 had no rubber seals for a long time and it never leaked.

A little pricy, but one of the finest automobiles ever built. Larger than a 
190 (201 chassis) and any children/adults over 4 feet tall will appreciate 
the extra room in the back seat. A little less economical on fuel, but still 
not that bad. Give up on a 190d or dt and purchase a 300d ('91-'93) for your 
primary/luxury auto. You  SWMBO and any kids will be WAY happier.

Is this anything like the sunroof lube in that it is quasi-magical and
has no equivalent in the 3rd party market?

I recently updated the brakes on my 300D (new calipers and pads all
around, new rotors in front) but did not use the MB anti-squeal paste.
Lo and behold, my brakes are now squealing quite annoyingly.

Can I get something locally that will address the issue, or do I need
to use the genuine MB paste?

[MBZ] Need Help Locating Banjo Fittings!

2007-06-05 Thread LarryT

Howdy!
I am installing an EFI system in my 74 911 and have hit a snag.  The fuel 
pump I want to use has a Banjo Bolt on the supply line outlet.  My fuel 
supply line does not have such a fitting on it unfortunately.


So, I need to locate what I believe is called Female Banjo Fiting which 
will fit around a 7/16 banjo bolt and accepting a 5/16 fuel hose with a 
barb connection.


So, the center hole must fit 7/16 and it must have a 5/16 hose barb 
connection.


Or, as an alternative, I can use a 90 degree fitting with a 12x1.5 thread 
and a hose barb for an ~5/16 hose (or the equiv metric size).


Anyone got an old fuel hose laying around with one of the fittings not being 
used?  Any recyclers out there?


Any suggestions?  Have been searching the net without much luck.

Thanks to everyone who is on this list - you are what makes this so much 
fun!

Upholstery expense seems excessive for an 18 footer, how much of that

store around that carried such a bulb, and it cost me $20!  Is this normal?

Re: [MBZ] OT: welders, again

2007-06-05 Thread Robert Tara Ludwick
Wire feed welding setup is great, and there are a few good online 
tutorials, some with video, for learning it.
For a rusty old mower deck, a flux core welder would work great ( the  
actual MIG  welders with shielding gas will give cleaner welds on new or 
clean material, but for old rusty stuff, the  the flux core can 
generally work better. I've got a gas setup, but I'll pop the flux core 
wire in when working on rusty old stuff or out in a high wind ) Of 
course, having it is half the job, need to remember to use it ( the deck 
on my riding mower gave out about a month ago, i've got some serious 
restructuring to do on that thing )
Yours sounds alot like mine. If you weld a few pieces of heavier strap 
across it to give it some structure, then weld a thin plate over that to 
keep the grass from building up, you'll be in good shape.

Think this was hashed through recently, but since I was not really in
the market I glossed over the thread.

I have an old Wheel Horse lawn tractor.  The mower deck hangs from the
a lift mechanism under the tractor by a bracket that is bolted to the
deck.

The deck sheet metal must be slightly too thin, because over the years
metal fatigue has caused the bolts to pull through the deck, taking a
small section of the deck with them.

The deck is otherwise sound, and the tractor is otherwise built like a
tank and very reliable, so I'm thinking of trying to grind the
fatigued area back to solid metal and weld in a patch.

I've never done any welding, but I can foresee that having a welder
could be very handy.  Plus for the cost of a new deck for the mower I
could probably come very close to buying a welder.  So I am wondering
what might be a good welder to start off with.  My garage is already
equipped with a 240 outlet.

I've heard that TIG welders have more flexibility but are harder to
learn.  Would a wire-feed MIG unit be a good choice?  How hard is it
to learn from books/video?

The system is prone to false positives if you consider a clean car a
positive.

We, the report interpreters, are prone to false negatives because most
of us will run away from a car that has repaired damage listed in a

a car that has been properly repaired.

 There are a few minor differences I noticed.
 One of them is the vacuum pump.
 The 116 has the double piston type, the 126 the single piston. Are
 these pumps interchangeable?
 I like to keep mine since it just got rebuilt and I have no idea what
 the life span of the older double piston type may be.
 The other thing is the aircleaner. The 116 has no oildrain from the
 aircleaner to the pan, thus the pan does not have a hole/connection
 for it. I was thinking of swapping the pans, but questioning if the
 drain is a must. What if I plug the hole in the aircleaner? The deain
 on the 126 had no rubber seals for a long time and it never leaked.

When you look at Mig welders, checkout what it costs to add a spoolgun. You
will need it if you ever want to do aluminum. Lincoln has models where
adding one costs $200. Unfortunately, it costs more to add a spoolgun to my
Miller than I paid for the base unit.

Think this was hashed through recently, but since I was not really in
the market I glossed over the thread.

I have an old Wheel Horse lawn tractor.  The mower deck hangs from the
a lift mechanism under the tractor by a bracket that is bolted to the
deck.

The deck sheet metal must be slightly too thin, because over the years
metal fatigue has caused the bolts to pull through the deck, taking a
small section of the deck with them.

The deck is otherwise sound, and the tractor is otherwise built like a
tank and very reliable, so I'm thinking of trying to grind the
fatigued area back to solid metal and weld in a patch.

I've never done any welding, but I can foresee that having a welder
could be very handy.  Plus for the cost of a new deck for the mower I
could probably come very close to buying a welder.  So I am wondering
what might be a good welder to start off with.  My garage is already
equipped with a 240 outlet.

I've heard that TIG welders have more flexibility but are harder to
learn.  Would a wire-feed MIG unit be a good choice?  How hard is it
to learn from books/video?

[MBZ] installing new radiio in old car??

in preparation for installation of
a new Pioneer CD player given to me by my sons for my birthday, back in

mount the new unit in the hole? The old
one has the spring tabs on the front edge of the radio that just snap into the 
cutout in the housing. They can't be
put onto the new unit as there will not be a cutout spot for them to spring

have to come up with something else to attach the new unit to the housing. With

Emissions, emissions, emissions.

I will never again buy a gray-market car as long as I live in an area
that runs regular smog checks.  Getting the 1980 280SLC I used to own
registered in Oregon was a huge PITA.  Part of the smog check here
involves a visual check that all factory emissions equipment is
present and accounted for.  The DEQ drones look up your car by make
and model in a big book (now computerized, I think) and compare
pictures of what's supposed to be there with your car.  Since they
couldn't find the SLC in their book, it automatically failed.  (Guilty

The system is prone to false positives if you consider a clean car a

We, the report interpreters, are prone to false negatives because most
of us will run away from a car that has repaired damage listed in a
report without having the repair evaluated. There is nothing wrong with
a car that has been properly repaired.



Interpreting Carfax results sometimes seems like an art more than a
science.  One of the things that jumps out at me is when a car is
reported sold at an auction.  In that case I'll look at the number of
previous title transfers, which is a rough guide to the number of
owners.  A car with only one or two owners before the auction sale is
worth checking out, I've found---it's often one that was well cared
for and traded in at the dealer, who then sold it at an auction simply
because it was too old or had too many miles on it for their used-car
lot.  Could be a creampuff or at least a diamond in the rough, in
other words.

to 160 amps.  The TIG is way cool, I can weld my own aluminum

there are a lot of times where I wish I had a MIG as well it is much
faster and easier for the day to day stuff.  If you dont ever

As far as MIG welders go I would recommend the Lincoln SP135+ or

supply and fully adjustable heat range.  (an easy way to spot a cheap

[MBZ] OT: I think this qualifies

2007-06-05 Thread Curt Raymond
My grandmother has an old Crapsman RER lawnmower. For the last few years the 
keyswitch wouldn't start the mower, it'd shut it off but not start it. One of 
my uncles wired up a series of different switches for starting but since the 
switch has to carry full voltage for starting they don't last long.
So this year when yet another switch failed I had a look at the solenoid. Took 
it out and shook it and could hear the contacts moving around.
It turns out the trigger was just dirty. I cleaned it up and put it all back in 
and it works just fine thus saving the family the price of a new lawnmower.

I *think* this qualifies as a Jim Cathy repair

Re: [MBZ] OT: welders, again

2007-06-05 Thread dave walton

Any of them will do stainless. You can use trimix gas or flux core wire.
I've not tried stainless flux core wire. Trimix works good.
There are 3 different grades of stainless wire commonly available -  308,
309, and 316.  The main difference (as I understand it) is the percentage of
Chromium. You want to match it as best you can with what you are welding
because the amount of heat expansion varies. You want the weld to expand
with the metal or else it can crack over time.

Mig welders use a spool of wire in the base unit and push it to the welding
tip.  They are quite picky with Aluminum because it is so soft - it tends to
kink inside the machine. For that, you need a spoolgun that places a small
spool of wire just behind the tip. You hold the whole assembly as you weld.

If you use gas, check the price to refill the different cylinder sizes.
Around here, no one rents the cylinders. You buy one from the supplier and
exchange for full. You get cost effective around the 80 cu/ft size.
Refilling a 20 costs me $21, a 40 costs $25, and an 80 costs me $29. Bigger
than that and you pay based on gas volume. You save a lot on the refills
with an 80. I also like the 80's because they come with a protective cover
over the valve that screws onto the cylinder body. Good idea if you
transport them much.

the letters from both entities about the VIN not being

In both cases that put an end to the questions, but it

[MBZ] Good luck and bad luck etc.

2007-06-05 Thread R A Bennell
Yesterday on the way home for lunch (I'm lucky enough to live close to my 
office) I was almost rear ended by a guy
in a big hurry who couldn't wait for me to pull out into traffic. I started and 
then stopped as there was a little
Toyota Echo in the curb lane flying my way. The fellow in the Mercury Sable 
behind me seemed intent upon pushing me
into the Toyota. He did manage to stop however and that was my good luck.

Tuesdays I go to a business club lunch across town and the end result today was 
that some lowlife removed my hood
ornament. I think I probably even saw the perpetrator. When I parked there was 
a young fellow and a girl standing
next to the vehicle beside me. I will bet money it was they who took it. I must 
admit I have been waiting for it to
happen ever since I got the car and I am now into my 3rd summer so perhaps I 
have been lucky in that. However, it
is an annoyance and the car just does not look the same from the driver's seat 
without the star.

Howdy!
I am installing an EFI system in my 74 911 and have hit a snag.  The fuel
pump I want to use has a Banjo Bolt on the supply line outlet.  My fuel
supply line does not have such a fitting on it unfortunately.

So, I need to locate what I believe is called Female Banjo Fiting which
will fit around a 7/16 banjo bolt and accepting a 5/16 fuel hose with a
barb connection.

So, the center hole must fit 7/16 and it must have a 5/16 hose barb
connection.

Or, as an alternative, I can use a 90 degree fitting with a 12x1.5 thread
and a hose barb for an ~5/16 hose (or the equiv metric size).

Anyone got an old fuel hose laying around with one of the fittings not 
being

used?  Any recyclers out there?

Any suggestions?  Have been searching the net without much luck.

Thanks to everyone who is on this list - you are what makes this so much
fun!

Interesting. The wing is not from a US market 16v, but it's not far off.
Might possibly be a euro wing, but more likely the PO installed the closest
thing JC Whitney sold. That does look like a real W201 euro grill. The pics
are shady, but I think those might be euro lamps too. The paint looks recent,
not much wear on the yellow door strikers. Funny he went to all that trouble

I didn't try that.  Maybe I could have just swapped badges!  But I
don't know if my SLC had the same emissions equipment to begin with as
a US-spec 280E.  (Same M110 engine fundamentally, but the Euro

not have matched the pictures in the book.

This same visual inspection procedure also prevents me from removing

and belt, etc)from BuyMB. Had a bit of a problem with the online
ordering, due to the fact that I had to make choices base on chassis
number ranges which, while I found out I had this info(6 numbers of
vin and/or numbers in back of maintenance book starting with 10), I
didn't realize it at the time. I called the order in and salesperson
was very helpful. Overall good experience.
I've also ordered the Haynes book and the MB Technical companion from
Amazon.
Thanks again for the help!

 Rusty at http://www.BuyMBpar ts.com will beat any online price for
parts. Most prices are already lower. He knows MB's very well and can
get ANY part you might need. He spends time on our email lists at
okiebenz.com.

 I have found a few good parts suppliers on line 1 is Mercedesshop.
com They sell a lot of stuff for a decent price . Another one is
Dieselgiant. com he has a lot of different pictorials of everything
from ALDA setting to valve adjustments His prices are a bit higher
yuou can also do a google search for just about anything you might
need also alot of stuff on ebay.

 Thanks again for the info. I was thinking of getting a power cleaner. 
 Now just to find a service manual for the beast! Autozone, Advanced 
 Auto, O'Reilly's and Buns and Noodles had nothing at all! Not to 
 mention a good place to purchase parts(oil/air/ fuel filters, etc). 
 A whole new learning experience!

  Congratulations on your purchase! Welcome to the MB club. 
  Be careful with pressure washing the engine bay...I do it every 
 other month since mine leaks a fair amount of oil - that's another 
 project for this car! For really caked on oil deposits around the 
 engine block I use oven cleaner very sparingly. It really breaks up 
 the grime and does not damage anything if sprayed only on the crud. 
 Stay away from anything brass or aluminum and seals. If you use oven 
 cleaner...make sure the engine is very cool and do this in a well 
 ventilated area...hot engine will turn it into a nasty vapor cloud! 
  
  Another good product is Purple Power Cleaner from Advance Auto - a 
 biodegradable degreaser - works on all sorts of stuff as a general 
 cleaning productI soak down the engine compartment with Purple and 
 let it set for 5 - 10 minutes - again cool engine or it will evaporate 
 on your before it does its thing. 
  You can polish the valve cover and other parts to give it clean 
 finished look!

Makes me glad I live in Alabama.

I can even mix leaded 110 Octane racing fuel with 93 Octane Premium for my
converter free, 77 Corvette with no concerns in this state.

Thanks,

 Seems like a solid copper EGR gasket would pass visual.
