[diesel_mercedes] Re : So why are these different?

 


BECAUSE ;

You decided to jump the gun a little bit and hand build your Dream Mercedes Diesel from " Bitsa This & Bitsa That " ~ IIRC , there's early and late trannies , the pans or noticably different , just match up the gasket in the filter kit with what you see under your Franken Benz & you should be good to go .

EEEEEE!!!!

A Task Force Chevy ! SWEET ! I bet it has the " Cast Iron Wonder ", the venerable & World Beating 235 L6 engine in it .

GO SAVE THIS TRUCK TRISH ! .

I'll walk you through how to resurrect it cheaply so it'll wheeze , clatter & smoke worse than _any_ Diesel but it'll always start hot or cold and be the best dang work horse you'll even know .

[diesel_mercedes] Re : When cars were CARS

 


I've gotta say ~ I love the Chrysler Thunderbolt ~ it's a pretty cool car in spite of having a wretched flat head engine .

Prolly my favorite of the bunch is the Nash Rambler ' Cross Country ' Station Wagon . back when my Sweet 1st. began asking for a MiniVan (ugh no way) or a Station Wagon , I found a couple 1959 Nash Cross Country 9 passenger Wagons , fully optioned out with the fabulous OHV L6 engine and a Borg Warner over drive , factory roof rack , three tone pink & white paint job , factory AC , radio and so on ~ WOW ! then I discovered I could bring it home but she'd never touch it =8-^
.
Wimmen ~ what're ya gonna do ? .

I got her a super clean low mileage Mercedes EuroSpec. W-123 300TD of course ......

She loves it and is always asking what new old stock part I'll install next .

[diesel_mercedes] Re : Which bushing to choose for '80 300SD? - NATE

 


_Maybe_ as the W-123 had two different control valve linkages too....

Don't feel bad Trish ~ I do lots of junkyard builds & repairs and Tom & I see so many 1/2 finished projects abandoned instead of having you and Keith to work it through .

In the end , you'll love it and all will be fine , you'll see .

Just to - night , as the sun was setting , I was grafting a 1976 Chevy Nova's HEI Dist. into my aging 1969 Chevy C/10's 250 CID L6 engine , as I was searching for some 5MM sized nuts & bolts to hook up the hot wires , I ran across the left overs of those same bronze bushings & wondered how you're getting along .

I didn't find the hardware I needed so in the end I used the grey plastic snap fit bushing / clips that hold the W-123 glove box liner to the body....

Worked a treat , the truck is running smooth and I'll figure out some correct hardware to - morrow as I change the oil & filter , when the engine is _blistering_ hot , of course ! . =8-) .

[diesel_mercedes] Re : Our Vanishing American Carscape

 


I'm a die hard Chevy guy but I too like the '57 Fords , they were great cars , good drivers , roomy and well built .

Useless Auto trivia : in 1954 , Chevy made way more cars than they had Dealer orders for , just to be able to claim that # 1 position , then wound up selling quite a few in '55 & '56 on used car lots @ wholesale prices , new left overs .

Re: [diesel_mercedes] And then there's the one on Rock....Brian trans filter

 

I have (1) a Meyle-Teiile filter pn 115 277 04 95 (art No 014 027 2012) and,
(2) an ELRING kit pn 126 270 02 98 A19F (which label covers over 446 530 BP)

If you can't make sense out of these part numbers, order from a parts house where you have the ability to return the product. The #1 filter is definitely different than the #2 filter, and I am not sure where I picked them up - but they are both new in unopened plastic packages.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] And then there's the one on Rock....

 

Can do. It'll be later.  I've got to get out the door right now...WOW not only do I get to drive somewhere, (Kevin had no choice but to turn over the truck to me this week!) but it's farther than the 10 miles to town to Wally world!  And tomorrow I'll be in the big city!  I get to leave here at 4am to get Kevin to cheer his mom on at 5am before her reconstruction surgery.  (Which she is sooo excited about.)

But what I'm looking for is the filter kit for a '80 300SD.

I'll be happy to pay for it...I'm gonna anyhow.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Work to do this weekend

 

Re, the glow plugs - I keep one of those extendable magnets around to pick up the little nuts that always seem to fall into the dark secret spots. I also put a white sheet or towel underneath where I am working so I can see things that fall, which includes my wrenches. As for the starter, I like to keep the car as high as I can get it, but of course on very safe jack stands or a friends lift. I always try to have several "safety" factors, when I am under my cars because my mantra is "3500 pounds" and I murmur it frequently

WHY, WHY, WHY can't parts be parts?????  Geez. 

I found the transmission filter kit at O'Reilly, it can be in the store within 24hrs it says.

http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/PTQ7/FK185.oap?year=1980&make=Mercedes-Benz&model=300SD&vi=1193992&ck=Search_at+filter+kit_03230_1193992_1157&keyword=at+filter+kit&pt=03230&ppt=C0023


Of course I kept searching to find the best deal.  I looked at AutohausAZ, the gasket looks different.

http://www.autohausaz.com/search/product.aspx?sid=htm54rym34dzc5452myfpj45&makeid=800016@Mercedes&modelid=1193992@300SD&year=1980&cid=33@Transmission/Transaxle%20System&gid=8600@Transmission%20Filter%20Kit


 I checked specs, they both say they can be used on my '80 300SD. 

The kit from Diesel Giant was waaaay more expensive, so they're out of the running.
