Re: [diesel_mercedes] W123 Tires Sizes /

 

Well, I'm looking at the owners manual and it calls for 175 SR 14, seems kind of narrow. I think mine are 195's and they seem narrow. That was for the 240 the 300 calls for  195/70 SR 14.. Max

I can check the size if you'd like but I'm sure it's whatever the door lamb sticker calls for, too many Americans out on over sized tires and the increased un sprung weight really screws things up .

I'm wondering what tire size most guys have on their 123's. The stock size seems small for these cars. Any comments? Max

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Door Hinge Lube

 

Dont know about adapter. If you hAVE a chainsaw with a greaseable tip you get a little hand held grease gun with a needle tip. Squirts right in the door hinges. Max

Thanks. I figured it out. Its a tough one because you cant see in there, cant even feel in there. I took a whole pile of sockets down there and tried them finally found 1-1/16 worked. I also figured out I can mark the front of the torque converter with a marker so next time it will be easier. Greased the doors. A needle grease gun for a chainsaw bar tip works great. Max

Gentlemen, just received a love tap from a lady and will need to get some work done on Martha's rear end. Specifically, I will need to find a new deck, new rear fenders, right & left lights. Everything below the bumper is fine, but her new 4x4 rode up over the bumper. Going to get estimates tomorrow, but if any of you know of any such parts laying around, give me a yell.

[diesel_mercedes] Retirement & Working

 


Thank you Brian ;


I love to work and make things work properly, tidy up and so on .

I was very worried I'd get bored but so far I'm getting more done than I have for over a decade and having more fun doing it too .

Of course, I also take more and longer naps than I ever could before but in the big picture it's great .

-Nate
