my friend has a 500E Mercedes engine in his backyard, he filled it with diesel and every 3-4 months he takes a wrench spins it a couple times...anyhow Mercedes engines are unbelievable, I was there when a guy took an engine out of a crappy w116 which has been laying on the ground for 20 years and started with a battery it took 2 mins to start the engine...
any old engine ..just pull the plugs poor a bit of diesel i the cylinders,, put the plugs bach in a otto. plug up the karb,and put it on a pallet and wrab a tarp arround it..but if you can take it in side it`s much better...turn it gently by hand and pull the valvecovers and tjek no valves are hanging before starting
I hope youve still got the car, cause the car looks like a wreck but if the 5 speed is good, that will go for a lot of money cause they are quitte rare.
take out the oil and fill the engine with diesel fuel, then leave it for 50 years take out the diesel fill engine oil and it will start like it wasworking the day before...
i understand that, i have a 240D aswell which ive had for a bit over 5 years. many times ive thought about selling or scrapping it, but it keeps going. but ts time the 300 got out on the road again! love these cars
+coolakiIlen007 all this discussion is making me depressed....good thing i know the guy who bought my car...ex-army guy. Maybe ill buy it back at some point
maybe you should or maybe you sold it for a reason, other than money of course. but you forget quickly things that were wrong and remember the good things. id rather spend more on a nice one since they are quite hard to come by especially diesels. mine is a bit rusty (the 300) but undernieth is great and interior looks like new almost (blue cloth)
oh my fucking god where was that 300d sitting I got mine from a a guy who had his sitting for 10 years under a tree half way sunken in the ground strated it up and drove it out of the hole it was sitting in
Notice the proper use of a rigid tow device . Looks like they used the wrong gear though ~ shouldn't ever use first . I could use some parts off that old beater ~ these cars are hard to kill . -Nate
One of the most reliable car engines ever.
The best
That and the Chevrolet 6.2 litre diesel
You can run it over with a tank and the car still runs like it was straight out of the factory. Awesome cars

one of the greatest cars ever built. hope you are or have restored it! Thanks for posting.
That was great! I have an '83 300sd with 300k miles, and I look forward to driving it everyday. 79-85 were the best years for Mercedes.
Push starting a diesel, 10 points my friend.
I realize I'm kinda randomly asking but do anyone know of a good site to stream newly released movies online ?
@Matthias Chase flixportal xD
@Torin Ace Thank you, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :) Appreciate it!
@Matthias Chase no problem :)
I love this model of Mercedes-Benz, great vehicle.
that thud when he shuts the door at 3:14.. still sounds like a vault
If you look close, you can see that the mercedes is pushing the forklift the whole time :)
proud owner of 3 of these and by God, in 15 degree weather, they start up with no problem
You should send this video to Greenpeace :D
Great car!
good as new.
they aren't too common, but i've seen a few in my short time being around old mercedes ;)
yes awesome cars
Immortal vehicle!
even beat to shit that car looks awesome
is it that easy to keep an engine in good shape over a long time? will it work with otto-engines too, or would that be a bad idea?

ur boring. way to much work.
such a badass car :D

Interesting technique :D
Das Auto. This model is like the new one TDi comsume
I don't think you could find me a tougher car in this lifetime.
Was the starter bad? How come you had to pull start it?
I come from sweden and here all w123 had a right rear mirror, but not this version.
fuck push start...let's pull start instead!
+teamsleepnine It's more common than you think.
+smervelous I just started my 01 f350 by pull starting it the other day
I would rather just buy a new battery, but will work to I guess...
where are you from,and would you like to sell that nickel-plated around the wheels
than i need to get my hands on 1 of those 5 speed gearboxes !!! :)
take out the oil and fill the engine with diesel fuel, then leave it for 50 years take out the diesel fill engine oil and it will start like it wasworking the day before...
Geil. So einen hatte ich auch mal
Sounds like a 4-cylinder Mercedes-Diesel...
that cars seen much better, happier days...jeez
+Diesel_Nut84 it's barely even rusty, just a few litres of polish, a good hoovering and she'll be as good as new! wish i also had a 5 speed on my 300D
+coolakiIlen007 regret selling mine
i understand that, i have a 240D aswell which ive had for a bit over 5 years. many times ive thought about selling or scrapping it, but it keeps going. but ts time the 300 got out on the road again! love these cars

The mighty 240.This is not a car this is a tank!
Great cars? Yes. Noisy as hell. Yes!
oh my fucking god where was that 300d sitting I got mine from a a guy who had his sitting for 10 years under a tree half way sunken in the ground strated it up and drove it out of the hole it was sitting in

i think that the forklift has the same engine, or i think i hear that
Ok really? Why? Why pull start it that long? How long as the dam motor been sitting for??
yes it's a 5 speed 1,2,3,4,5 and reverse
4 speed?
If that is a diesel, why is it smoking badly, like if it was burning oil, is that car a 1973 or 1974?.
Widlak speed?
Ttthanks for the earth...
der Motor im Stapler hört sich aber auch schwer nach Mercedes an^^
wow... just realized that you were doing a push start!!
its old n rusty but its a 300D!
after a few months, he won't start, only a click, so we have to pull start it.
Thats why i bought a v8 myself
first gear, clutch out, pulled along,, start no problem, probably
+Barry McGuigan at least second or third gear, but not first
I think second gear works better
yeah, first might be a bit brutal.
+Barry McGuigan Second gear not first
MotoExtremeTV I find first more aggressive at low speeds, might as well test it to destruction
omg!!!!!!!!!!
على سائق لكلاك المزيد من السرعة حتى تتمكن من تشغيلها واعمل دائما حبل طويل حتى لا تصدم مع لكلاك
wtf i never seen a manual diesel 5 speed.... (reverse doesn't count)
Euro 6 norm!
It is euro 71827
In the states (us) pulling or pushing a car, diesel or gasoline haha we pull
RatRod! Great!
yes I still have the car
Do you have it still today?
Okay Mersu käynnistyi hinaamalla
Notice the proper use of a rigid tow device .
Looks like they used the wrong gear though ~ shouldn't ever use first .
I could use some parts off that old beater ~ these cars are hard to kill .
-Nate
it fast and jump the clutch in 2nd or 3rd gear. haha pushing we find a big damn hill and let her roll
it's a 5 cylinder
Okay kyllä mersun pitäisi lähteä startista käyntiin ettei tarvitse hinaamalla
no, 5 speed
Looooooowwww compression....
plz fix the car for Gods sakes
Русские есть?
klekleklexd
