[QUOTE="Jyuma1, post: 123701, member: 22244"] I own and maintain a classic 83 Mercedes 380sl. I bought it new in 1983 and I still have it. I agree with your special tools comment but not for working on my 80's Thomas T133 skid steer or my BH108 backhoe attachment. However, the Mercedes is a different story. I've spent a fortune on special tools over the years but now that I've got them, they're just another tool in my tool cabinet(s). Funny story... the 80's Mercedes V8's require a special tool for removing the rocker arms, which I didn't have. As luck might have it, there was a picture of the tool in the service manual, and I did own a precision sheet metal factory at the time. So, I had my guys make the tool from the picture and it worked great. Every once in a while, you win one. :) [/QUOTE]
