No, I'm not buying an axle from you!

There is a system. You dont want to go pulling axles and stuff from
your parts car right away, that is usually the last thing to come off
before the crusher. You want to be able to roll it around you know.

Not to start a feeding frenzy, but in case anyone's looking for a wagon
with low miles and records, here ya go. It even has the third seat out back
if you are so inclined.
(If someone is interested, I am not able to make it down that way for about
a week, since work is sending me to arizona.)

I can think
im still going with shaft. You say rebuilt by the MB dealer? I dont
know of any dealers that rebuild these as that is very complicated and
required alot of expensive equipment. If they were rebuilt chances are

Thanks, Casey & Marshall. I took a cursory look and the lever is
