Ok here is the deal, if the crank balancer is laying in the car

Seller told me where his '79 300SD was sitting (he's currently out of

currenly sitting on the passenger floorboard. It appears that the key

Is this the $4000 wonder?
Offer him ten cents a pound, or maybe round it up to the $400 I suggested
earlier, and if you can't fix it you can break even at the salvage yard.
Pull off the trim, bumpers, grille and exterior lamps first if you scrap it.
I now need a steering wheel myself. (oh,

Its not difficult, you just have to take all the belts and crap

We welded a bar to the old balancer. Run it around so that it hits
the floor and crank away. Works in either direction with some

How do you tighten the new balancer by welding a bar to the old balancer?
Do you
On the M103 and OM603 the hub is separate from the balancer -- I
don't think, upon reflection, that this is true of the OM61x
