Yay! Nothing feels better than a success! Rick From: mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: April 8, 2023 3:47 PM To: mercedes@okiebenz.com Reply-to: mercedes@okiebenz.com Cc: diese...@pisquared.net Subject: [MBZ] The rebuilt axles are back in the 300SD As the attached pictures show, I got the axles rebuilt and then reinstalled in my 1980 300SD. The information I got from Philip and Max was very helpful. I followed Philip's write up and things went well with only one exception: My friend and I had a lot of difficulty putting the outer ends of the half-shafts into the wheel hubs. We thought to use the bolts which are used to hold the half-shafts in the hubs, but they were too short. We ended up driving the six miles to my local hardware store where I bought an M8x1.25 x 120 mm bolt (for $3.79!). Back in the Big Room, I was able to thread the bolt into the end of each half-shaft and quickly see which direction the outer CV joint had to be manipulated to get the half-shaft's outer splines to line up more closely with those in the hub. I was also able to clamp on the head of the bolt and use a screwdriver to pull the half-shaft's splined end into the hub, as shown in the third and fourth pictures. We both were greatly pleased how well that worked.

I checked Wal-Mart's website and found their lowest price on quarts of M1 is $7.97 and on 5 quarts of M1 is $26.97. So now, for once, NAPA is cheaper.

My first thought was the same as Dimitri's, but I checked on NAPA's website and found with the $25 card the final price of the oil is $22.45/5qt jug, very competitive with Wally World. It is also the same if you buy individual quarts, which is the only way 15W-50 comes through NAPA. So perhaps NAPA is feeling price pressure. I will go to NAPA for two reasons: - It's 10 miles closer than Wally World - I know the fellow who owns the local store.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Tornados last week
Well said, Floyd! Having grown up in central Indiana I was very familiar with tornadoes. The things that Floyd described as taking place before the weather gets really, really ugly, is quite true. The color of the sky becomes yellow, it becomes very quiet. You know. Fortunately, I never experienced a tornado while growing up, but not long after we moved to Wisconsin, a very powerful tornado passed immediately south of our former home. We were back in Indiana visiting family not long after this occurred, and saw the devastation. Driving down SR37 where it is wooded rolling hills you could see a swath about 100 yards wide like a lawnmower had passed over the landscape. -D > On Apr 8, 2023, at 12:03 PM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes > wrote: > > In 1974 or so I belonged to the flying club at Purdue.

Re: [MBZ] Bottom feeder question
yeah new cats are not cheap and $800 is probably about right, plus getting them welded in. The guy I bought my CL600 from was going to part it out, he has some business selling euro car parts and dealing in cats, he said the car had $1600 worth of cats as there were 6 of them. You could get some pipe sections welded in but you have to do something to fool the O2 sensors and the ECU. It is possible from what I have read but not sure exactly how it works and how the car will run. I looked at a really nice 211 E320 that had a bad conductor plate and straight sections where the cats had been, car ran OK but I'm not sure how it had been sorted out. $800 might be a bit high, I would try for more like $600 given what would be involved in getting it sorted enough to drive or sell. --FT On 4/8/23 11:47 AM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote: Is a 2003 clk500 with 150k miles that is supposed to be nice but had the cats stolen worth $800?

Re: [MBZ] OT: Tornados last week
In 1974 or so I belonged to the flying club at Purdue. If you washed and waxed a plane you could get 2hr flight time. So a buddy and I went out to the little airport where the club was based to do that on a Friday afternoon. We were in the hangar waxing the plane and I went out to the car to get something and noticed the sky was getting yellow, all the birds and insects had stopped making noise, and it was feeling very heavy and tropical. The guy that ran the airport had a coupla dogs that were always hanging around, they were nowhere to be seen so I figured they had slinked off somewhere. I came in and told my buddy we probably needed to finish up quick and get out of there and head back to campus before we got whacked. Got in the car and put on the radio and tornado warnings were blasting. Both of us having spent our lives in Indiana we were sorta used to this stuff but being that close was concerning. We got about halfway back to campus and got whacked hard. Raining so hard couldn't see out the windshield, car was rocking around, wind was howling, it was REALLY bad. I had pulled off to what I thought was the side of the road, could not see a thing, so at least I didn't think we would get hit by another vehicle. It all passed after about 10min so we drove on back to campus. I was living in the dorm at the time so went in, everyone was all jacked up talking about the tornado that went over the edge of campus. There were 2 tall dorms to the west, they said a tornado was bearing right down on them but lifted into the sky at the last second and went over them then back down on the ground. Very lucky. We watched the destruction on TV the next coupla days, it was really bad. I took the plane up a few days and later and flew along the path the tornadoes followed. It looked a lot like those pics. I followed it for over 20miles. It had gone right through the middle of a little town (I want to say Wabash) and had picked up a coupla spans of a steel truss bridge off the pilings and moved them about 200ft and dropped them in the river. It was crazy. You could see where the tornado had gone through farms, between a house and a barn, both buildings intact but a trench dug out right between them.

Re: [MBZ] Fleabay
Ebay is usually pretty good about confirming purchases. The only problem I have encountered is when I accidentally opened a second account under a different email address. It was impossible to close down that account. Occasionally I mistakenly purchase something from the second account and the confirmations go to that address rather than the one I am used to using.
