Re: [MBZ] M272 Spark Plugs

Yeah, tough to say if these were the originals or not, but they were definitely worn. I think the recommended interval is around 80k-100k for these engines, but I can’t swear to that, I would have to look at the maintenance recommendations. So, so much easier than an M112. Very accessible and

Re: [MBZ] M272 Spark Plugs

I should take a look at the S550 plugs at some point. I mowed the half-vast estate this afternoon with the tractor, took about 3 hr. Was 95F when I got there at 4P then dropped down to 91F when I left at 7P. It wasn’t too bad as there was some breeze. I kinda like it warm too. I hadn’t mowed

Re: [MBZ] ‘76 300D on the FakeBook

Have we seen this before? It looks familiar. Getting a key shouldn’t be an issue. Even if you can’t get one from the dealer, I’m betting a competent automotive locksmith could get a blank and cut it. Here’s what the latest PAC key chart says about older stuff beyond R107 and the like: Many
