Hi Brian.
it'd be a big overhead bin to fit 2-123's and a 115.

Henry, you make my heart go pitter patter. I am in Tacoma for 2 or 3 weeks
else I would run down and clean you out. Will your stuff fit in an overhead
bin?

Hi all!!
I've been out of the loop, mourning the sale of my SDL, sorry.
But, today, as I'm getting ready to take the parts one, to the new owner, I
decided to take a battery over to my 85 (or is it 83?) 300D (the beauty I
got, that got smashed in the rear quarter and totaled).
It's been sitting for 3 years, up on blocks.
I put the battery in, and thought first I better crank a little, to get fuel
to the injectors, before going through the glow plug/start procedure.
it's been in the high 20's here at night, but was about 55 deg. at the time.
I turned the key, to crank to get fuel........and the dang this started!!
That quick!! no glow plug time or anything.
I was so shocked, I shut it off!! haha
then, turned the key and it fired perfectly, like I drive it every day.
I ran and got a couple gallons of fresh diesel, put about 5 times
concentration of "PRI-D" diesel treatment, along with the same concentration
of algae killer/preventative (I forget the name, but it's yellow). and
poured them in the tank. It sat there idling like a sewing machine for about
1.5 hours!
no smoking, nothing. I revved it a few times, turned the heater on high, and
even put it in all gears, forward and reverse, just to "lube it all up".
well anyway, just a happy surprise, it worked so nicely. The engine has 220K
on it.
If anyone wants to clean me out, I've still got a 220D manual trans with
cracker head, the above car, and another half stripped parts 123.
I'd let 'em all go cheap, if you took it all.
Henry
