The '85 is different - has an over voltage protection relay PN 2015400845.
If anyone has one of these I will need to negotiate.

Interesting that it's a 201 part, in a 126.  My last 107 had a 126 part for 
that.
My notes from it, in 2007:

I then pulled the overvoltage protection relay and brought it inside for
a look-see.

(B) 89 71 24
10 M 81
(M) 126 540 47 45
12V
10A
Made in W-Germany

It's cleverly put together: the red fuse cover snaps off, then the red
fuse cover base slides out from under the prongs.  That unlocks the
shell from the body and it slides right off.  Inside, I found the
expected relay, a heat-sinked power Zener diode, and a resistor.  There
were PCB holes for considerably more components, unstuffed.  The board
didn't look bad.  The solder flux was all crusty, but that's irrelevant.
I put it on the bench power supply and found that it 'popped' at
25 V.  The Zener gets warm when it trips.

Anyway, I brushed it off, resoldered the joints, and burnished the pins.
It reassembled easily, and continued to work on the bench.  I put it
back in the car.  I don't expect anything to come of this,

I do not, sorry.  That car (1982 380SL) has been sold.
(And scrapped, I later found out.)

Many 'relays' of this era can be repaired.  The culprits
are usually solder joints, by far in the lead in my experience,
and electrolytic capacitors.  Both are eminently DIY-able.
If you can solder.

[MBZ] Zero turn mowers

2023-03-10 Thread Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes
Does anyone have any experience with Toro zero turn mowers.  I am 
selling a 5x10 enclosed trailer for $2500 and a guy offered to trade for 
this mower with 60 hours on it:


https://www.homedepot.com/p/Toro-60-in-24-5-HP-TimeCutter-IronForged-Deck-Commercial-V-Twin-Gas-Dual-Hydrostatic-Zero-Turn-Riding-Mower-75760/310836516

Assuming its in good shape like he says I might consider it. Before 
this, I was more thinking along the lines of buying a Kubota diesel lawn 
mower like the one I posted about the other day.  It will soon be mowing 
season and I need to get that 600 hour Scott (JD sorted out with new 
belts, and fix the issue with the bent pulley on the deck.  Either find 
a new pulley or get the old one straightened out.

Re: [MBZ] Zero turn mowers

2023-03-10 Thread Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes
Seems like a deal maybe.  To me hours seem low I guess at 60 depending 
on how old it is.  Waiting on that answer.  Most of the diesel kubota 
mowers I have seen (not zero turn) have anywhere from 300 on the way low 
end to about 1200 hours on them.  These seem like they would last 
several lifetimes though.

I have a Toro. No complaints. Exmark is the commercial brand of Toro.

I'd probably take the trade.
