Got asked to go look at the tractor the snowmobile club uses to mow the trails. 
Finally got a chance to get at it

'70s vintage Case, which is to say its really a David Brown sold in the US 
under the Case name. Its got a big ole hydraulic pump on the PTO that runs a 
mower hanging off the right side.
We've had a terrible time getting it to start, last year they had it running 
once but when they went to load it on a truck to go mow it wouldn't start 
again. Today 4 of us farted around with it for an hour and a half before we 
finally got it going. What I learned (again) is that the started has to be 
spinning the engine sufficiently fast to start the thing and for that to happen 
the battery and battery cables have to be good. Our real problem looks to be a 
bad ground strap off the battery, after cleaning the connection the engine spun 
over better and it started. This after dumping a bunch of starting fluid into 
it and not getting a pop or a knock or anything.
Ahh the fun of working on somebody else's old junk.
After that success we took at look at the "Southern Tucker" which is a Tucker

Re: [MBZ] $300 rodbender

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

Sounds like a good deal if you can swap that other engine in it, pull 
all the good bits off the one that had the fire and knacker it.  Pull 
the top-end good parts off the locked engine too so you have spares.


Some work but seems like you might have a nice car out of it.

Re: [MBZ] Rear abs sensor removal w124 wagon

[Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes]

I think the seat backs unbolt from the center pivot where they join, and
then just lift out. From there, getting the carpet out should be
straightforward. May need to take the wheel arch covers loose also, and the
floor panel behind the seat in the cargo area. Quite a lot of hoopla for a
single sensor!

Everyone says I need to take the driveshaft loose near the carrier to
remove the driveshaft, in order to get the diff out. Not sure if I have the
41mm and 46mm wrenches on hand...adding to list.

Re: [MBZ] Rear abs sensor removal w124 wagon

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

Ahh, now I understand.  I didn't have to deal with that because I left the 
subframe in place.

I removed The White Whale carpet years ago to prevent mold growth under the 
carpet and be able to de-water after each rain.

I know that the bottom seat cushions come out very easily, there is a catch to 
release.  I suspect I just pulled the carpet out from under the coverings on 
the wheel wells etc, don't really remember.  There may be plastic pins at the 
edges of the carpet, similar to those under the door sills, but I cannot 
recall.  I'll bet that the pins would give way before the carpet would tear, do 
maybe you can start at one corner and pull until you find either a broken pin 
or torn carpet, and then decide how to proceed?

Another heretic idea: cut an X in the carpet over the hole, then close that up 
with carpet thread or carpet tape when you're done.

Re: [MBZ] Rear abs sensor removal w124 wagon

[Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes]

Thanks Max.

I could take the sensor out of the old diff, but it wouldnt fit through the
metal ring that the wire passes through in the subframe. So I would have to
cut the wire.

I think the protocol is to unplug it under the seat and feed the free end
down through the floor.

I am putting a different diff in; one hopes its abs sensor wire has the
same plug that this one does on the end.
