Re: [diesel_mercedes] Steel Plate Needed
THANK YOU CARL ! .
That's mighty nice of you ! 
(the thumbs up emoticon is gone) .
(the thumbs up emoticon is gone) .As it turns I managed to find a drop piece locally, of course I measured it wrong, I got 6" X 2-1/2" and it turns out to be 6-1'2" by 2-1/2' 1/4" plate, I have it and hope the 1/2" less won't be any problem .

I've got steel rectangular bar drops from my Adirondack Pavillion, 6" x 4+ x 1/4" thick.
Do you have a way to cut it? Just one? It's free as is. I'm not sure of the cost of shipping from NH.

[diesel_mercedes] Re: from Bill in Oregon
Thanx Bill ;
Replacing the I.P. and injectors finally reduced the smoke to nil ~ I get a little puff as I pull away from a long dead stop .

You might try searching the internet using google. This is one light read that might nudge something in the memory.
Keep on. Bill

Are your tires wearing down (smaller diameter) so the fuel consumption is getting worse?

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Furl Economy Check '84 300CD Slushbox
Thanx Rob ;
It also says average by owner 26.9 MPG......
This particular car has only a few times broken 25 MPG, once on a long road trip I got 29 so I guess I'll live with this 24 .
I tried to look up my 1982 240D but that site only goes back to 1984 .

Nate,
A search showed you're right on target: MPG '84 300D 22 combined city/highway, 21 city 23 highway
https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/noframes/26868.shtml
The best I ever get is 25mpg
Rob
'85 300D

[diesel_mercedes] Colorado Blues
I understand your view mark ;
I used to visit Colorado, it was a wide open and mostly empty place back then .
The last few times I passed through I did only that and was sad to see the changes .
Pretty much every place on Earth has way more people than it did a few decades ago, what to do ? .
As long as those damn KIDS KEEP OFF MY LAWN I'll be O.K. I think 
.
.-Nate (another old man)
Well, this state is definitely NOT being run by conservatives. Most of the highway building/maintenance is paid for by fuel taxes. A good portion of the hike in registration fees was for this fund, maybe just under half. Then, much of THAT was redirected to fund Obamacare, and now they're crying for more money again. Meanwhile, the projects that have been funded have taken up a lot of time and expense, tying up traffic during construction, and when they're all done, have done nothing to improve the traffic situation around here, though contractors, unions and those on the government payroll have made out quite nicely.
I realize a good part of the problem has been the heavy growth from migration to Colorado from other states. For that, I am more and more aligning with former governor Richard Lamm (D), whose sentiment was along the lines of "If you improve roads and build roads, it only encourages more and more people to use them." (This is the same guy who made his name here by successfully getting Coloradans to vote the '76 Winter Olympic games out of the state. Also famous for his "Duty to die" comment.)
"When the rest of the country finds out about Colorado, it will be ruined." Bernis L ("Bernie") Brauer (my mother), ca 1971.
(Insert grouchy old man grumble here.)

[diesel_mercedes] Riding The MTA
? Did you ever get to drive a PCC car ? .
I remember those very fondly .
The last time I visited Boston I rode the ?red? line out to Alliston to visit an old chum, the trolly operators were all kids, many Female who didn't have any manners nor interest in doing a good job .

Got to work on the ''T'' in Boston. That was fun. Was running tests on the Orange line after hours. Engineer came in drunk as a skunk one night. I wound up driving the train. First thing I did was blow the horn. Drunk engineers get awfully squirrely when they hear the horn :-)
Boston is a great city!
