Re: [MBZ] Reputable shipping company for used engines
Once I thought about buying a 1934 or 35 Terraplane engine and transmission off ebay that was posted for local pickup only. Location in some rural town in MA. UPS says they will pickup and ship and thing to anywhere. I found they don't include Terraplane engines and transmissions in anything. They sent me to someone who referred me to a group called Craters and Freighters. 800 number. The 800 number people referred me to CF not far from where the engine was. Boston I think. Must be a franchise or similar. They want to know dimensions and where to and where from and weight etc. I had to make my best guesses. They gave me a quote to go get it, crate it, and deliver it to me. The quote was large enough, but I'm convinced it was real. Five or six times what it would have cost to buy the engine on the ground; a lot less than it would havae cost to go get it. They said they would adjust for actual size and weight. I decided against it, once again learning when something you want that is rare is offered for sale, get it. Don't screw around. I may never see another comparable deal. We get so soon old and so late smart. I have had a Benz engine shipped from England to Texas by DHL, but I think they are now out of business in the USA. German company. 3 day service from Bloody old England to Texas. Pretty cheap I thought. Ought to be easy to find Craters and Freighters, and maybe DHL. Good luck. 2.

Re: [MBZ] Reputable shipping company for used engines
I agree that a crate built up from a pallet with plywood and/or 2x4's is a good idea. My engine from England came that way with nary a hitch.

If you are the shipper, make sure that you protect the package to avoid later issues with the buyer and the shipping company. I would not only strap it on a pallet. I would build a solid box around it out of plywood or something similar. I had an item shipped in from Regina to Winnipeg and the shipper did not package it well. It was damaged as the truckers are a bunch of monkeys who could care less. The trucking company essentially denied liablitity and suggested it was not packed well enough. The vendor/shipper has ultimately provided some replacement parts but I wish it had not been necessary. I also bought a machine from a fellow in Vancouver and he packed it very well. No problems apart from the fact that it took quite a while to get the box open and the machine out of it. I cannot recall the number of screws but there were lots. The box was made out of scrap plywood and 2X2's etc but was very solid and did not add a whole lot of weight. Pack well and avoid issues later is my basic advice.

Re: [MBZ] Reputable shipping company for used engines
Okay, now I'm gonna hafta tell my Terraplane story: On a rainy Sunday afternoon in late Spring of 1941, my mom, dad and 3 or 4 of us younger children were visiting our oldest brother and his wife 10 or 12 miles from our home. The brother was not there when we arrived, but he soon came in with his brother-in-law - both had been drinking. The BIL's wife was there, also, and jumped him immediately about his drinking. He stormed out of the house, jumped into his '34 Terraplane and sped out of the yard. At the end of the driveway, he was going way too fast to make the turn into the road, flew across the road and jumped the ditch into a cornfield. It was a small field of about 3 to 5 acres; the corn was not mature - maybe, about 4 feet tall. The car never faltered, never slowed, but continued at full throttle to crisscross the field many times with corn and mud flying until it had obliterated about every stalk of corn in the field, finally jumping the ditch again and speeding away up the road. This incident and others also involving the oldest brother had a profound effect on me such that I've always been a teetotaler - I've always thought that I can make big enough fool of myself completely sober.

Re: [MBZ] DHL
DHL had a great service based on space availability. If you weren't in a hurry for something, they would take it based on when they had the room to put it in the cargo hold. I shipped an 8kW marine generator from Wisconsin to Florida one time via this approach. This was a fairly heavy (400+ lbs) piece of equipment on a shipping skid. If memory serves me correctly, it was only a couple hundred bucks and it got there in a little over a week. The only hook was they could only do tailgate unload, so the recipient got a truck with a liftgate on it and picked it up at the terminal.

Re: [MBZ] My 300D 4 speed is up for sale
Wow Jaime! Nice ride. Are all of the 4 speed parts from a 240? I live in a very hilly area and I would love to have a manual trans in my 83 300d with just over 100k miles. Thanks and good luck with your sale, Mike On Jun 3, 2011 7:39 PM, Jaime Kopchinski jaime...@gmail.com wrote: I had a spurt of energy, good weather, and a little free time today, so I managed to get a nice CL ad together for my 300D 4 speed. http://newjersey.craigslist.org/cto/2419771458.html Jaime ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
