How much for the 84 300D??? I need an engine for my 83!

I was supposed to see a guy yesterday about a 1985 300 SD. His car is in great
shape cosmetically, but the transmission was going south. I was thinking about
buying it, letting my kid drive it until the trany fell out, and then swapping

no, I have not messed with it at all. The only valve cover that is off
is the passenger side, I bet when I pull the drivers side I will see a

I'm driving a 1982 300SD with a brake light issue. Actually, it's
more of an emergency brake lever issue in it. There's a lot of play
in the lever and, as a result, does not come up far enough for the
brake light to shut off. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Does this sound fixable?
It is still $300 plus mounting and wiring , rustproofing etc. I think i'd
just get out the welder and build one. I'd like one too, if we want to try
for a group purchase. Bet we could get orders for 6-12 124 wagon trailer
hitches. I 'd have to dig through the files, but I think someone
I'm guessing that new E-brake cables, shoes and adjustment would cure
it. Short of that, if the cables are not too rusty, lube and adjustment
might cure it.

Might be ok if you're not too much a purist and can stand for the
diminished capacity. The factory coupling is rated at 1900KG trailed
load and disappears upon removal of the easily detachable ball head.

Judging by the behavior of the lever itself and the braking system as
a whole, it definitely sounds like the spring. The e-brake works just
dandy. How would one go about checking for this spring?
Thanx again
I think the hitch itself is rated for 1900KG. That's not to say that
MB has certified that 1900KG is a safe load for the wagons. IIRC,
Arne's caravan weighed in at considerably more than 1500KG though.
