There are 300 W LED light bars. 300 W / 12 V = 25 A.

My Polei might be a good candidate for OM603. Runs and drives with a very
strong engine and transmission. Transmission shop who did the adjustment was
surprised by her response. Something about a Raped Ape at highway speeds.

Crack price for old benz around here. There are no qualified shops or group

when I get back to the real world. Need a DD.

With that kind of amp draw per light bar, I'm thinking they must be Halogen
bulbs, which in todays LED world are "old stuff".
First, ask what lights he is wanting to run. Then suggest he switch to
LEDs, which are much lower amp draw and much better light.
Just switched to an LED landing light on
I've seen articles on dual alternators for aircraft, but they are usually
for totally redundant electrical systems, not twice the amps.

they probably have them for 124 etc, but I didn't check. Kind pricey,

Adjustment for what? there's quite a few adjustments. modulator,

Isn't there an adjustment bolt on those? I remember something about an

Change fluid and filter.

Do any of you great founts on knowledge have any experience with dual
alternators?
The fearless leader of the snowmobile club wants to run 2x 4 foot light bars on
his 1989 Tucker Sno-Cat. The machine is powered by a Cummins 6BT and currently
has a 105amp alternator. Those big light bars are
when the auto trans just quits, won't go forward, won't go back, what is
the usual cause. Seems to me the B2 failure lets you go back but not
forward.
1981 240D. After 20 years with a failing trans, it died, dead, no
warning. 500 miles from the used one I got from Kleb.
yes agreed. for 500 to 750, it'd be worth it maybe.

interesting! Now that I have an engine from the SDL to use, all the
350SDL rodbenders with bent rods have dried up. A 124 300D with a bad
engine would be a good candidate too. Maybe in a year I might have
time to do an engine swap. Too many projects ahead of it now.

The one that Jaime helped me get is actually the correct wheel for 66-67 W110s.
It’s fatter and has two grooves in it. The original wheel for the earlier
W110/111/112 models is thinner in cross section and has no grooves.
Of course,

Even if they would the resale wouldn’t make it worthwhile after you do the top
hydraulics and the bumper. That’s probably $1500 or more DIY. Top hydraulics
will cost you $700-$800 for the rebuilt cylinders alone.
These cars are not flipworthy unless it’s a special one, like an anniversary
I doubt if the seller would go that low but who knows, for a bit less it
would probably be a good deal if you factor in $1000 for the top, and
$1000 for the bumpers. Yeah, so maybe $4k wouldn't be a bad offer.
Looks like a nice car.
