Re: [MBZ] I need a groundhog recipe

[archer75--- via Mercedes]

You first got to determine if he's a Republican or Democratic groundhog since 
everything in the Washington area is either Republican or Democratic.
If he's a Republican groundhog, you can catch him, take him out in the woods 
somewhere, and he'll make his own living in the wild.
But if he's a Democratic groundhog you might as well resign yourself to feeding 
him the rest of his life. 
(Sorry, Dan. couldn't help myself.)

Re: [MBZ] I need a groundhog recipe

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

Once in the trap, assuming you've got access to a car with a gasoline engine:  
Put trap with animal in to a large garbage bag.  Tie garbage bag over the end 
of the exhaust pipe.  Rip a small hole at other end of garbage bag.  Start 
engine, listen to radio for ten minutes or more.  Shut off engine, empty trap 
into garbage bag, close up bag and put bag in dumpster.

Re: [MBZ] Battery Charger Recommendation?

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

I hate those 'smart' things.  Best charger I've ever used is my old Shauer
that I got at Sears in the 80's.  I've had my eye out for another one for
years, just so I have a spare.  I had to use mine to 'jump-start' the
nieghbor's too-smart charger more than once.

If it has membrane switches, or LED/LCD displays I don't want it.

Did you not say "He ate my tomatoes!  This is war!"  Be a man and
follow through with your threat.

Why take the problem to someone else - shoot him, drown him, hang
him by the neck as a traitor.  End the problem.  Or leave him
alone and "be one with nature" as he tears down entire tomato
plants to eat one bite from each tomato.

Re: [MBZ] Battery Charger Recommendation?

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

I  like the concept of the newer, high efficiency, low heat output, light 
weight computerized chargers. 
I don't like a charger that's so smart it says "That battery is discharged, so 
I refuse to charge it". 

Every year or two, I lug my 10lb Schumacher over to the neighbor's house to 
jump-start his nice smart charger with the digital display (my old fashioned 
transformer charger raises the voltage to the point that the new-fangled 
charger is willing to turn itself on).

If you just want reliable, and don't mind what it weighs or how efficient it 
is, and want to do a five minute boost to start a dead car...
https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/schumacher-battery-charger-100-15-2-se-2151ma/9200015-P
(I wouldn't buy from Advance without at least a $20 off coupon, but then it 
wouldn't be expensive enough for free shipping, so I'd have to buy something 
else because they don't stock that charger in stores...)

Or, once I got that expensive I'd make the step up to one of the heavy duty 
$100 chargers on wheels, you sometimes see them for $70-80 at Sears on Black 
Friday, only 3 months away...

[MBZ] Battery Charger Recommendation?

[Greg Fiorentino via Mercedes]

Looking for a versatile, cheap, and reliable charger. I used to have a 2/10/50 
amp charger that could help a weak battery start an engine. Looking on Amazon I 
see a lot of chargers that have about a 10% negative review for failure after a 
few weeks or months. That would be frustration I would like to avoid.

 

Anyone have any thoughts on this? $50-$60 seems reasonable, but not for 
something that is likely to fail that soon!

Try growing watermelons, and having 200lb varmints walk down a row in the melon 
patch, kicking a hole in a melon and taking a sip, kicking a hole in the next 
melon and taking a sip...and you can't just shoot a deer for vandalizing your 
garden.  
Seeing the carnage in my grandparents' garden when I was about 5 years old left 
an impression on me. Even at that age I knew what a horrible waste it was, to 
the point I can still close my eyes and visualize those dark green melons with 
hoof prints in them today.

That would be my worry. During the 80's as a firefighter we saw a lot of
Chrysler K car engine fires. There was a wire that went over the valve
cover that  shorted  & caused engine fire. Amazing how much damage in a

[MBZ] OT - Guns

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Finally got out between rain showers to run a few rounds through my new (to me) 
shotguns.  Went down to a rural (and I mean RURAL) outdoor range about 15 miles 
from the house near Fort Lonesome, a remote crossroads that hasn’t had 
residents for probably 50-75 years.

https://www.facebook.com/shootshackgunrange/

Ran a box of shells through the Beretta 686 and the Lanber semi auto.  Forgot 
to take my shooting vest, for which I’ll probably pay for tomorrow.

The Beretta worked great, patterned well and even with the stock butt pad 
wasn’t too bad.  I was shooting 2-3/4" Remington Gun Club target loads, wth 
1-1/8 oz. 7-1/2 shot.  Since I haven’t shot in a while it was a bit of a wakeup 
call, even after going through a few hundred rounds of 9mm at the range with a 
buddy last week.  Been using a pair of Howard Leight Impact Sport Electric 
Earmuffs, and man, do those things work great!  The really nice part is being 
able to have a conversation or hear low velocity sounds with them.

The Lanber worked well and patterned great, too.  It, however, had a butt pad 
that was nearly imperceptible, and even with the loads I was firing banged me 
up a little.  A good reminder to make sure I have my vest with me next time if 
I use it.  Guess I should probably consider looking for a butt pad for it.

Came home and gave both guns a really good cleaning and discovered I didn’t 
have a choke wrench for the Beretta.  Gotta get one of them or a speed wrench 
ASAP so I can pull the chokes and clean the barrels properly. Also need to buy 
a box of patches, as I’m almost out.

So now that both guns have checked out the next stop is the sporting clays 
range and to bust some clays. Hopefully the weather will cooperate next weekend.

[MBZ] Q plan

[Jaime Kopchinski via Mercedes]

Looks like we're going to drive on Friday afternoon, after we get the kids
from school.  I might go out long island and take the orient point to new
london ferry, which is always a crowd pleaser with the kids (and will avoid
I 95 traffic).  We're going to get an air bnb somewhere on the RI coast for
Friday evening, then we can hit the the beach early Saturday, then head to
the Q.  After the Q (3 or 4pm?) we'll head home, and hopefully let the kids
sleep most of the way back.

Sound good?!

Re: [MBZ] OT: Kirby vacuum

[G Mann via Mercedes]

Acquaint yourself with the little foot adjustment, left side, that sets
height. That will meter the distance above the carpet and thus.. how much
harder it is or not to push.

It will be much more easy to push on carpet when adjusted correctly...

When my SD cruise was intermittent, it turned out to be a wonky connection at

This is tricky business, to be sure.  Often took me more than once to get
it working.  So far, though, no solder bridges.  Acute attention to detail

Hey Larry! I got a tube of super glue. We'll go in there and fix 
that thing down tight.


Of course as luck would have it that's probably what they use anyway.

Hope things tighten up and get better.

Good luck,

[MBZ] OT: Kirby vacuum

[MG via Mercedes]

The wife brought home her Mom's Kirby upright vacuum that Mom had 
been using since the old man bought it for her back in the 50's. 
Seems our second daughter had laid claim to it many years ago and 
grandma told her it was hers when she was done with it. Well the 
time is here and June takes it down to her. SIL takes one look at 
it and asks my daughter what possible use she could have for an 
old piece of junk like that. Mind you this has all the original 
attachments still in the original boxes. So Samantha being the 
good wife decides she doesn't want it. I really thought I had 
taught her better. Anyway I decided to vacuum the living room, 
kitchen and hall today. OMG what a workout! It isn't that the 
thing is heavy, the kitchen was easy, but when I hit the carpet 
it was like pushing a tank. You could see the vacuum picking up 
the carpet. I wish my "heavy duty" shop vac had even half the 
suction of this. I may see if I can steal this to use in the 
shop, but I'm very much afraid that I may not get a chance. June 
thinks it "isn't too bad" so I'll just have to dream about an 
adequate shop vac.


I've heard about how good these are but as they say seeing is 
believing. I guess the next job is taking it apart and doing a 
service, clean and oil. I'll be Googling for that later.

[MBZ] Cruise control solder

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

So after replacing the caps it worked but was intermittent. So I reflowed the 
solder on all the joints. It worked better but still intermittent. I pulled it 
again yesterday and reflowed the joints again and added a little solder to a 
few joints that were lacking. Put the board back in the car and now as soon as 
you turn on the key the fuse blows. So I evidentially have created a bridge 
somewhere. I pulled the board back out and will see if I can find it and hope 
it did not ruin the board. I don't see any burned spots anywhere. . I really 
need to get one of those lighted magnifying glass things for my work bench.

Re: [MBZ] I need a groundhog recipe

No, but if I did it would be Woody, as the diminutive for wood chuck.

So I baited the trap with a strawberry.  In anticipation of success, how
far do I need to go to drive before releasing him?

[MBZ] 1974 450SE on BAT

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

I always wanted one of these but even 25 years ago they were already
cr*pped out.  This one is by far the best example I've ever seen.  Wonder
what it will fetch...  If the miles could be documented it should be worth
easily in the mid to upper teen$.  I remember the magazine ads when the
450SE first arrived in the USA.  This was the flagship for 1973 - 1974.

Re: [MBZ] Center Vent Adjuster Stripped

I've probably got that assembly from Wilton's 87 300D, if that would work in

but I can probably swing out the later in the week.

[MBZ] Center Vent Adjuster Stripped

[Larry Turner via Mercedes]

Hi all,
    When I replaced my AC Condenser a  couple of years ago I did a 
no-no as I was tightening the screw.  Yes, I stripped the plastic 
threads of the door open/close mechanism.
    Is there any way to repair this?  I see replacement vent assy's are 
$100+ so if I can super glue or Gorilla glue things back together I will 
give it a try.

    Any ideas?

Thx,

Re: [MBZ] '73 Mercedes 280 SEL $5000

[Larry Turner via Mercedes]

Yeah, the comment regarding the fires affect on the engine of "Motor 
should still be good" with the operative word being /*Should. 
*/Repairing a gas engine always costs more than I think it should.  I 
owned a similar MB except it was a SE not SEL but the rest was the 
same.  That 4.5L V8 is an awesome engine though.  Poor gas mileage  but 
sufficient performance even in a heavy 4 door sedan.   It's possible 
that's a 38K car especially since it was released near the height of the 
gas crisis of the 70s.  OPEC and all that making long lines & "Sold Out" 
signs a regular sight at gas stations.  Of course the typical buyer of a 
new SEL 4.5 would not be living paycheck to paycheck I would hope so 
perhaps it didn't affect them as I would think.  SO who knows, maybe 
they have all receipts so the mileage can be confirmed?
I was always a sucker for those cars.  Still am, would love a car like 
this one but not as a project.  Also, I'm thinking the 6 cyl. 280 engine 
would be preferable as is that SEL body.  I believe the L came from an 
additional 4" in the rear passenger compartment.

Re: [MBZ] Procedure for R&R Engine Shutoff Valve? W124 1991 300D

I agree, it's always preferable to being room temp, but this is my 4th

very, very old. It all started so simply, with a small fracture on the 
upper corner of my tibia and that leads to all of this crazy crap.  Me 
being allergic to the only adhesive available (I still find it hard to 
believe there's only a single adhesive) had odds of 1:250,000    -   I

You can also remove the side cover on the IP to watch the rack 
movement to be positive the new shutoff moves the rack to "OFF" with 
vacuum from the Mity-vac.



Peter Frederick via Mercedes 
August 26, 2017 at 9:06 AM
It's fairly easy, but rather fiddly, and I'd not do it with a knee 
replacement acting up, you need to spend quite a git of time leaning 
over the I".


You will have to remove the boost control can from the IP, which is 
the fiddly part -- unscrew the captive nut and the bottom and fiddle 
around until you get it in the right position to roll out, then take 
out the screws that hold the shut-off in place, unhook the rod on the 
bottom side and remove.


Install the new shut-off making sure you hook the roc on properly, 
replace the screws.


VERIFY THAT IT'S INSTALLED RIGHT! Using an external vacuum source, 
pull a vacuum on the newly installed solenoid and make SURE the 
shutoff lever moves all the way down smoothly. If you don't get it 
hooked up right, the engine can run away when started and will throw 
a rod unless you can get enough fuel lines loose first. Keep a 14mm 
wrench in your hand on startup.


Replace the boost control can, which is the hard part. It is a real 
PITA to get it in place and standing up properly to get the nut to 
engage.


Guess it depends on how long you want to stand on that knee, leaning 
over into the engine compartment.


Getting old sucks.
