Yes and that's an S & S Victoria just like the one I got for free....

Most get scrapped out for lack of interest....

[diesel_mercedes] Leaks

 

26.2 mpg on Mary this morning after fill up on $3.70 per gallon diesel. Jealousy and envy toward you WVO / SVO guys.

Another difference between Mary and Martha that I will address "someday."

Mary leaks oil, but not a drop of transmission fluid. Martha leaks transmission fluid, buty not a drop of oil.

Spring is coming (72F today). It is almost time to polish and wax them both. And, think about putting them in the air to see what needs to be done on the underbelly of both.

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Fuel filter fuel strainer at bottom of tank . what works too

 

  Well,, I have done this twice over the years, work fine for me, first time on the '78 300SD,, took a large hammer wrench from my locomotive days, an the strainer nut,,it came loose just swinging that large wrench in the counterclock wise direction, next time, on the 300D, I bought a cheap socket from O Reillys, about a 46 MM size, an about $20, cheap for that size, no doubt will use it again. 
 
  As too the fuel screen,  a $3 can of spray carb / injector spray cleaner, did the trick,,, cleaner than a babys butt,, with fresh diaper.  Next time, guess I will put a new strainer O ring, as its most likely the original, not expensive either, maybe $4 from Rusty. 
 
  I worry that maybe the original screen cleaned real well, is better than a new one that maybe is from China or Mexico, an maybe not the proper size mesh or fit right either.  Probably not even real stainless either, maybe el cheapo steel that will rust quickly too. Even Rusty is selling a few of those made in China parts, most likely the only place to bet some parts.
  Noticed that Rusty is in North Carolina now, no longer in Atlanta, guess that means higher shipping an slower for us MB knucklebusters in Texas. 
 
  Went to the IMPORTEC  site yesterday,, they don't have much for my 300D, ordered a few things tho, as they are close to me.  ( Dallas Tx) 
 
  BTW, gents, some shade tree techs will tell ya that good stainless steel will not rust or corrode,, well those guys have not worked on boats or submarines, around saltwater all the time,, stainless is a misnomer, it will eventually rust an deteriorate, so watch out on these old cars.  The chemicals will accelerate the corrosion too.
 
  Ah m,m  YES,  can someone tell me who has those sets of soft brushes for the heater / AC Blower motors,  I understand the hard brushes wear the commutators out quicker ???  I need to order several sets, an rebuild some blower motors for my 2 MBs, plan to put the 300SD back into service someday. 
   Thanks  Doug Traylor  Baytown, TX
 
BTW a guy in Houston just sold a high mile '80 300D coupe for $3700, are MBs getting more expensive on the markets  ???

It's not hard to change that screen. I recommend also getting the threaded hose that attaches to it if you've never swapped that out before. Once I used a jumbo adjustable wrench and another time a plumbers-size vice grip made for pipes to get the old screen out. You can buy the new screen and then find something to fit it before you do the job.
