[diesel_mercedes] Tool-fest at Sears...I'm gearing up!

 

Turns out Sears was having a big ole sale this week (ends tomorrow) and I had xmas cash in my wallet. As some of you have figured out by now, I'm SO new at this, I barely even have basic tools...been borrowing a friend's "basic mechanic's tool" set for a while, but he needed it back. I used to have tools, but long ago in Boston someone busted into my car and took 'em.

So I snagged me a 194-pc craftsman set, and rounded out with a few ultra basics like a 4-pack of different pliers (I need my own dikes, ya know!) and a plain jane utility knife. I also picked up a 22mm combo wrench so I can get to my darn valve adjustment!!!

We've had some warmer weather here...40's (even 50+ yesterday)...but I've been working (yay work!) a lot this week...tomorrow might be the day!

I'll also check the one (????) pawn shop in Santa Fe for other tools...I still need a vacuum pump (tho they have those to loan at the McParts places), torque wrench (same), and I'm hoping to take some of my xmas cash to PaPs here and in ABQ (which I've heard, have MBZ's that have been barely picked!). Bet the pawn shops are better there too ;)

Valve adjustment....here I come. (Can you tell I am psyching myself up?)

[diesel_mercedes] Re : Antenna Switch

 


It is used to set the electric antenna to fully extended , 1/2 extended or retracted when you're using the tape deck .

In general you don't touch it .
