I am hoping to network some African continent parts to you guys. Me personally I want some springs.
Really just wanna say thanks for your help over the past few months. My knowledge has increased exponentially. What a great site full of active contributors. You may know by now I get a bit sentimental. Just want to show gratitude for all help given on here.

speaking about parts, I too would also like some springs, let us know what you come by. From what I have read these cars were used frequently as taxis so i feel like you'll have no issue finding parts.

On to cars. This area has old mercs everywhere but due to the security posture I am not allowed to go off and hang out at junkyards on the weekend.
Lots of 190 models, ridiculous numbers of the limo/taxi models. I haven't seen many 240 or 300d. I have made connections with some of the egyptian nationals working on my base here and think I can probably get some parts. The only issue is things being lost in translation.
Any pics of this taxi dash I might be able to show?
heavy duty springs part number?
What else can I look for?
Remember I have to be able to tell this egyptian guys what to get me so we need to be very very specific.

When Israel was raining missiles on gaza it sounded like a thunderstorm up here. I am about 10 miles from the gaza area in the upper NE sinai peninsula.

I chatted with my guy and he made it seems easy to get parts. I of course shouldn't get any hopes up for you yet....
the trans we wan't if we can find a bunch of them is the 717.400 right? I read somewhere that there is another one that will work as bolt in no welding or anythign
Needed would be the trans, flywheel, shifter and linkage, driveshaft if it came from a 300d. Maybe pedal stuff. Im pretty interested in the trans so I am working that with him first. Also going to send him a pic of the dash today.

The bulk weight can work too I just have to explore some other on base options. Fedex we have it just involves dealing with a whole other group of douchebags.
he has quoted me 300 bucks. for the trans
Oh and what is the weight of one? I have read a little under 80 lbs?
" straighten up that star on the grill, assholes."

12-17-2012, 09:13 AM #13um...it would be alot easier to ship if I can get it under 70lbs. Is there a quick way I can take a shaft or something out and make the tranny significantly less in weight? ie two shipments for one trans? Looks like i may have a trans in a day or 2. Of course this will be my first trans I own that isn't attached to a car. I will likely play with it a bit and explore some internals.

Buuuut...here in 'murica I can get transmissions for $200 at the junkyard...maybe haggle? Dunno.
Can you find a cheap slow shipping method? crate it up and then have it take a month to get here?

I think the goal is to get the weight down for shipping. The army postal limit is 70 lbs. That wouldn't be astronomical costing if I could do that. The other much less used option is fedex on base. No one ever uses it...I have to investigate cost through that but I assume it is higher.

What you see in this picture is me next to a 717.400 5 speed and 1234610601 manual steering gearbox (with shaft). I also got the flywheel (i think its right), clutch, shift linkage, waiting on driveshaft and shifter. 500$ bought it all.
It was a good day. When i said non power steering the guy who drove mercedes taxis for 20 years said it was rare for even here and though it only came in 115 chassis. Lucked out there but dont think that will happen again. Now to find out how to get this crap home.

I normally trim by now but am going to israel for the weekend :-) . Gotta blend in. That hat is uniform here. We are like the UN. Peacekeeping is the mission. The same color wraps my kevlar and makes my head a big orange pumpkin target. Really goofy looking.

I've read a little about taking it apart and it seems i need a special tool to get the bearing and some crap out of the tail end. I am wondering if I can pull it apart without removing any crap like that. I need to learn how drop weight to ship in two separate packages. I saw a write up somewhere but cant find it again. Can I pull the gears out of the main housing and leave them attached to the rear portion not doing anything to the seals. I am a newb with transmissions.

Check out PP. It comes in on the nose at 70 pounds if you remove the yoke (and flex disk of course), and the 3 arms (and linkages). I would remove the slave cylinder and line and the metal bar inside. And, drain it. You should be fine then for shipping.

Project 2018: Really get the car finished -- Turbo OM617 greater than 175 MPH goal.
RED W123 - left Germany as 240D in 1982. Full AMG body kit less rear apron, 2:65LSD, five speed Getrag 717.400, manual steering, read leather interior, manual brake conversion, electric water pump (EWP), and a bunch of other goodies ...
LOL
Well I am gaining hope in the shipping process. The only concern is the trans fluid. They are concerned that it may need a hazmat certificate. Geeze. I sent 3 separate MSDS forms for transmission fluid stating "Not Hazardous" also told them is was drained.

I had spoke with the large shipment department about using their contract with FedEx for freight. After a few weeks of dealing with contractor bs and situation starting to look good they finally decided there was a policy against shipping personal items. The post office wouldn't take anything over 70 lbs. If I had more time I would have figured it out. I didn't have any of the other needed parts either, no shifter, mount, linkage, etc.
I will learn to be happy with 4 speed for now. At least I know they are everywhere so I can blow them up without crying. Also I got home this week! Time to break some sh*t!

I'll star posting in my project soon. Mine needed a new battery. Already swapped injectors, removed cruise control, got car to turn off with key (vacuum woes),...
My wife's 97 Volvo had been driving "weird" her words. Stepfather inlaw had refreshed the trans fluid while I was away. Tell me why the damn fluid was 3.5 quarts low without leaks. Filled and car drives good again. Gee wiz.
