Re: [MBZ] What a CF

[Scott Ritchey via Mercedes]

A LEO at a recent community watch meeting explained that police actually 
respond and report (vs protect and serve).  At that point one attendee 
disagreed, saying he had actually "been served".

Well said Herr Mann.   And exactly WHY it IS germain to this list.

It has 6 button diodes.  Apparently similar to what is used in car
alternators.   As of now, the volt and amp rating are unknown.

this schematic shows the big brother 240V version of this welder, and if
you look at the rectifier, mine is similar, but it only has one 6 diode
rectifier.

Or I could buy/scrounge some other Full wave bridge rectifier.

Doing some online research, it seems like a blown diode makes a welder

buzz loud.




I was welding on an MB one day.   in the merry merry month of

november...

then the welder started buzzing when I was not welding.  I shut it down

right away, then tried it again a couple times.   I thought it sounded like
the fan may be loose on the motor shaft.

THe welder is a Century 100  125v  100 A mig. 20% duty cycle.   I

have not used it more than 20%.

I took off the cover, unplugged the wires to the fan, the gas valve,

and the wire feed motor.  THat left only the 2 transformers.   Same buzz
when I plugged it in and turned on the switch. (Without the fan, gas valve
or wire feed.)

Here is the question.   I assume this means there was an insulation

failure somewhere.   Is this correct or would something else make it buzz
loud?  Tomorrow is supposed to be 30-40º colder temp, so I thought I'd try
it when the temp is 30-40º to see if that makes a difference. It was not
hot today, about 70 or so.  That should not have been a factor.

[MBZ] OT - Car Hauler?

[Clay Monroe via Mercedes]

SWMBA purchased a car out of Southeast MO.  The transport broker(?) who was 
supposed to get the thing hauled to SEA for placement onto a boat has dropped 
the ball.  The car was expected to be on the ship last week.  Now it looks like 
it might not be up here for driving until 2020 if she keeps using this guy.

Anybody have a reliable transporter to recommend?   

I am aware  that there is a mighty weather system brewing mostly impacting MO 
and TN this week and maybe next.  SWMBA is beginning to think I should be sent 
to pick up and drive the thing here (ANC).

Hi, does anyone have a Carfax account that could run a report for me.  I'm 
interested in a 2008 ML320 with around 84,000 miles.  It's a diesel, pre 
Bluetec.  The vin is 4JGBB22EX8A375449.  Also, recent maintenance included 
replacing the timing chain and tensioner.  What would cause this at such low 
mileage?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Rear window seal leak and trunk lid seal leak.
Make a new set of floor pans, plasma cut the old ones out, fit in the new

Treat and seal all the seams properly, build in vent drains the Mercedes

another car and it started it up, I am charging up another one I'll try

anyway as the one I swapped into that car was from the $500E300, not 
sure how old it was though it cranks fine.  I might have bought that one 
like a year ago for the $500E300, I can't remember.  I can try that one 
too. I should go to HF and get one of those cheap battery testers maybe.


I managed to decode the date on the battery that was in the vehicle, 
June 2019,  near as I can decipher.  Looks pretty new, 30month full 
warranty.  I'll put it on the charger again then take it to the FLAPS

Neutral safety switch? Interlock to prevent the engine from starting if 
the computer does not think it is in neutral?

The roads NEAR Okie Acres, however, are another matter entirely.  ;D

I'm increasingly tempted to get a junker 116 and stick a stack on it
expressly to annoy Pierre and his ilk.   Fortunately for them, poverty

Re: [MBZ] Uh oh! (Welder question)

Take the welder back to Harbor Freight... ask them to replace it with a new

I bet they will
Worth a try, in any case..
They now have a quite good product support in place..

[MBZ] ML500 still no cranky

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

So I decided over lunch to have a go at getting this thing started. Left the 
battery on the charger, it was at 100%. At first I got a start error again, no 
cranky. Hooked up the computer again and scanned it, only one fault code about 
the steering angle sensor which I cleared ( needs to turn steering wheel 
lock-lock). 

Locked/unlocked with the fob to make sure it was still talking to the nannies 
then had a go, no start error but no cranky either. Swapped in a battery which 
just started another car, just got a clunk from the starter. I put the charger 
on this one to see if maybe it doesn’t have enough electrons. I’ll try again 
later. 

I’m not seeing any fault codes so it’s either this battery too or something 
wonky with the starter?  I suppose I could try yet another battery or go get a 
new one to try but it’s kinda puzzling. I’ll let it charge a bit then try 
again. 

I guess I should slide under too and just make sure the starter is connected 
tightly. 

It’s about 80F out. The mosquitoes are vicious. I guess they’re getting in 
their last hurrah but it’s now starting to cool off, I guess the front is 
coming.

The last inline six diesel for the US market. Very robust, with a few quirks. 
Time for me to do some research, I suppose.

Re: [MBZ] List Mom

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

I agree that it’s not political for the most part, but bringing a former 
politician who has a very clearly and hotly contested agenda will cause the 
exchanges to devolve into unpleasant rhetoric between the various parties.

It’s not germane to the topics here, and you’re making assumptions for others 
that you have no right to do so. I’m being preemptive. Don’t like it? You’re 
welcome to take over the responsibilities of running the list.

Meanwhile I had to shovel the sunshine off the driveway twice already
this morning.. it was starting to drift up so high I couldn't get the
convertible  out for a drive.
Daytime high here is a freezing 82 F predicted.. overnight low in mid 60's
F.. Another hard freezing winter in Arizona

I watched the snow and ice on TV close as I want to get to it... those
of you that like it enjoy... and keep safe.

Re: [MBZ] Where's albore?

[Randy Bennell via Mercedes]

Now come on Dan. That is hardly political comment. I suggest that most 
of the folks on the list are not convinced that the "climate change" or 
"global warming" issue is totally true.
We have a potential issue but it remains unproven. My recollection is 
that back in the 1970s the scientists were certain we were headed for 
another ice age. Now they think that it is going the other way.  In 
Canada, the whole issue appears to be nothing more than another tax grab 
by the government. Our population is small and our country large. We 
have lots of trees etc. We produce lots of electricity without burning 
coal etc. Nevertheless, despite the fact that whatever we do is a 
proverbial "drop in the bucket" when China and India and even the USA 
does not appear willing to do much about this potential concern, our 
government is prepared to make us pay an ever increasing carbon tax so 
that our Prime Minister can hold himself out to be a saviour and get 
applauded by 3rd world countries at the UN.


We have come to the point where we are unable to express our views 
unless they are approved as politically correct by the left wing media.


I don't know how much Canadian news you folks get but right now, there 
is an uproar over comments made by Don Cherry. He complained on national 
television that our new immigrant citizens do not appear to respect 
Remembrance Day. Now he is accused of being "mean" and saying "hurtful" 
things. No one is permitted to have an opinion that differs from the 
left leaning media and one must not complain about the failure of 
immigrants to accept our long term way of life in this country or they 
are branded as racist etc.


I am willing to bet that the majority of people in Canada feel the same 
way that Don Cherry does but most are unwilling to admit it.

It's 23F and sleeting in lovely Caribou, ME. We had 4 inches of snow overnight 
with another 4 to 6 in the forecast. We got snowed out last year and came a 
week earlier this year to prevent that.
Pulled the engine out of the plow tractor Sunday to take south for a rebuild. 
It might be going back in...

That's interesting.  It actually helps cancer chemotherapy patients with 
the opposite effect, but they might not be "heavy" users

*Hospitals see rare vomiting syndrome in heavy marijuana consumers*
Since recreational marijuana became legal in Massachusetts three years ago,
hospitals have noticed more cases of a rare illness afflicting a small
portion of heavy cannabis consumers.

The condition, called cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, can be horrific for
patients, causing intense abdominal pain, nausea, and days-long vomiting
episodes that are strangely relieved by hot showers or baths. The illness
can be cured by quitting pot.

“It’s honestly hell,” said Alice Moon, 30, a marijuana industry public
relations professional in Los Angeles who stopped consuming cannabis in
January after vomiting for 16 days straight. “I looked like a skeleton.”

Yeah, I'm thinking if I get it on the road I will need to carry the

I need to put the computer on the $600E320 too, I think there is a bad sensor

Probably something simple.  I think it needs and idler pulley too, something up

Must be in chicago.

For 20-30 years ol al has been telling us we are gonna die from heat in 
20 years.   That has come and gone (Title of a good Mason Proffit album 
too)   I'm still waiting for the warm tropical temps ol al promised. 2/3 
of the country is freezing.   Record cold, etc.   Personally, I like 
tropical temps.  Bring it on!  Jungles eat CO2 in the air, and replace 
it with O2.  We need more tropics!



Don't say it!  No!  Ol al couldn't be wrong
