WILL IT RUN?! Abandoned Vintage Mercedes!

[@camiller02]

Hey Puddin. I've never watched you personally, but my father did on a regular basis. Every day on the TV I'd see a video of yours on that he was watching. He unfortunately passed last Sunday 2/18/2024 at 57 y/o, due to a battle with cancer and organ failure. I want to thank you for the content you've produced that brought joy to this man. Until his last day your channel was up on the TV. Keep going strong, I hope to see you grow bigger. Much love.

[@bumboclat]

condolences from a total stranger

[@Jvane0507]

​@@bumboclathear, hear.

[@mtrgv]

Sorry for your loss.

[@mikestone7692]

Condolences and sympathy for the passing of your father.

[@gnick540]

Thank you for taking time to acknowledge your dad and give credit to Pudden for his ability to entertain. Sorry for your loss. Gone too soon.

[@Mister-k1h]

Slick 50 and Utility Bill, with Puddin…. Trifecta I say!!!!

[@power2thepeople53]

I love it when Slick comes around. Hes a good dude. And Bill too!!

[@robinbunton913]

Love Mr. Bill!

[@jamesruiz1776]

Yup the puddin gang

[@guillermonieri4203]

Nice to revive an old car. Thank you.

[@justinsane7128]

That pipe is your jack point for your factory Jack , Jack.

[@Leofred2000]

And he probably shouldnt jack from the diff either

[@jddavis121]

​@@Leofred2000he does a lot he probably shouldn't do 😂

[@Aintloudenuff]

I was going to comment the same thing about jack point

[@simon_sjw9973]

I was going to say the same lol 😂

[@MichaelAskins]

It is great when Bill and Slick are on the show having a build and a blast together with you!! You guys really bring a smile.. Thank you!

[@badvoltron]

Dancing with slick was amazing! Thanks for the laughs!

[@emmanuelwilson2780]

That pipe in the rocker is were you put the round peg of the mercedes jack that came with the car, to change a flat

[@The-Deadbolt-Deputy]

As a locksmith I have actually worked on these dash mounted Mercedes switches and I was sure that you had the the right key in the envelope. A little lube and the right jiggle wiggle , and BLAM ! She good ! This was awesome to watch. Thanks Puddin, Bill, and Slick !

[@Vince-m2m]

I love it when Bill and slick show up. They are a great couple of guys.

[@Likker123]

Vw golf and Jetta also use 5x 112 mm wheels. Plus they have cool steelies for them

[@torstenselle]

T2 and T3 As well

[@torstenselle]

Mercedes used this boldpadern until the early 90s.

[@TheAtmobil]

@@torstenselleThey still do :)

[@EarlwithanE]

OMG!!! I knew this episode was going to be different, but I lost it when you guys broke out of the Pott County version of the nutcracker ballet 😂😂😂Puddin, it’s clear your an amateur, but Slick’s moves made me think he’s had some lessons 😂😂😂 Add Bill to it and this is an instant classic 👍💪😎

[@shammi8133]

Never forget being pulled over in my 67 goat. Paranoid cop said to put the keys on top of the car. So I left the motor running and put the keys on top of the car. Yea they got kinda pissed.

[@FrethKindheart]

That four cylinder sounds so smooth, like it would run forever.

[@deanadelizzi2132]

Glad Slick is willing to act goofy with you in front of the camera. That dance was awesome. Had to go back and watch it again and again.

[@Bartman4800]

The reason it does not shift properly, is because the plastic bushings have disappeared just under the steering wheel. Usually the horn starts beeping because it connects electrically. Under the spring, the unit comes out by turning it a bit CCW. There are bushings in the footwell too. I had to replace them all. Parts can be gotten in the US from Peachparts or the classic center.

[@kimberlywilliams9757]

I'm sad about Toby passing away. He was a good guy! Always took the time to talk to everyone at the restaurants he would frequently go to. Im going to miss that! 😞

[@takuacheperformance4740]

I love watching yall having one heck of a time!!

[@rickjackson3414]

When I was a kid, 3rd 4th grader….back in like 66…67….my pal Jimmy from my class, his dad an over the road truck driver, had this car with a diesel and a 4speed manual on the column….white with red guts…..always dirty on the back of the car, thing would blow out some charcoal when he put his foot in it…….took forever to get her going to speed……when ever he was home from the road he would take a bunch of us kids in his car for class field trips….he was a fun special dad…..we loved his car cause we rode in style…..A Mercedes !

[@danielmorley6213]

The pipe looking thing was a bad design on those cars was a bad jack point Don use it not strong enough

[@danielmorley6213]

I grew up working on those car with my Dad in the seventies

[@randallhub528]

I put 500thousand miles on mine..SD turbo diesel c'mon!

[@terryfralick1465]

Thanks for mentioning Toby Keith. May he RIP

[@bartismoellis1052]

Puddin check with the Mercedes parts they have a division that caters to their old cars called the Mercedes heritage center.

[@robertcampbell5755]

Just wanted you to know I love the channel. As far as your Model A is concerned it’s not that rare. They made millions of them! You’re absolutely right it’s your car ! If they don’t like it watch something else.

[@roaddawgs4042]

Rupert!!!!! Lets go!

[@codymelton2896]

Hey bud, Tim's German auto in fort Worth has all the parts you need for Rupert!

[@aglassdude]

Puddin & Slick 50 dance studio. That was awesome 😂

[@Haida_Art_Jordon_S]

Amazing run! A bit of foreshadowing with the pre runner suspension reveal in the beginning!! 😅 this is by far way more fun than watching tires spinning a wasting away!

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Puddin Time y’all. Must watch. Best part of Monday.

[@michaelroberts7372]

Puddin time baby!!!!!!!

[@markhookom5371]

One thumbs up for Slick fiddy being in the shop, and I also give them for the times you are in his shop! It's work for me it's stressful until my buddies showed up!

[@BillyBob38846]

What a fun video Puddin! It was fun also seeing Bill and Slick 50 having fun with you! If I was a young man again I'd come see you guys. Take care and give the family my best wishes and I'll catch you on the next video! 👍

[@robertb1875]

This! Absolutely love seeing Slick 50 and Bill. Buddies hanging out and having a good time. Thank you again for another great Monday video.

[@tommyolsen8224]

Finaly some Mercedes on your channel 😃

[@GregoryJohnston77]

That super coupon of bill about had me fall out on the floor. lmmfao

[@Bjyrgen666]

Love the car, excited to see what you do with it! VERY EXCITED!

[@gene_takavic57]

History has been made! That may be the world's first ever Mercedes getting air in a dirt field! You have to get this Rupertmobile roadworthy so you can take the misses out on a fancy date.

[@ralphholland8735]

Love it when all you guys get together. It’s a blast😊

[@joghurtbecher9970]

Cool to see Cars Like this on your Channel ❤ In Germany we call this Model "Heckflosse" what means: tail fin It was one of the rare Cars in Europe that had this little fins on the back so its kind of Special 😂

[@allenwilliams87]

Been on a puddin's fab binge the last few weeks. Probably watch almost every video. Damn good stuff.

[@differentgroove1]

The Pott County Trifecta !!! Puddin, Slick 50, Mr. Bill having too much fun.

[@scottdillow8825]

That old Mercedes is not too bad of shape compared to the way that I've seen some in my days. It's in pretty good shape for its age

[@pratliff]

When I was in college I worked with a kid that had one of those. He was an engineering major and wanted to work for a car company designing cars. The speedometer is what I always remembered about it. He loved that car, it was in rough shape but it ran.

[@kerrypierre9494]

I don't know what was more entertaining, watching Puddin drive the Benz ,or dance with Slick 😁

[@tylerdonovan670]

The pipe in the rocker panels is for the emergency jack for putting on the spare tire.

[@davidmoskowitz4085]

That's another good one! Keep up the good work, Puddin!!! Ok--the dance sequence was HILARIOUS!!!!!!

[@ardennielsen3761]

strapped a 7kw generator to the cars engine... because i have a water pump in the middle of a field far away from utilities, the head section of the sucker rod has a fracture in it so it needs to be welded. manual water pump with a 6 foot long handle that still takes 200 pounds to pump once... 260 foot deep on the top of a hill, lake water that filters thru three quarter mile of bedrock... 5/32 6010 liquid air pile line rod, cobbled up rig welder... from the other's "final destination bin".

[@jamespardee4954]

Puddin!!! That looks like the kinda car the KGB would come lookin for ya in!😂😂 Love the Toby Tribute.

[@jamespn]

Rock Auto has Dorman shift linkage bushings for a 1964 Mercedes 190. Looks like a mid 60s fintail Merc. 😊

[@theodorereno3538]

Oh my god this is probably the funniest one yet. You three click so well. Thank you for all you do and your buddies ❤️

[@jasonsellers9595]

When installing spark plugs in a place you can't reach. Just take a length of 3/8 fuel hose with your plug pushed in the end. Works great to start those hard to reach plugs.

[@trippnbilly7130]

The dirty dancing lift😂😂😂

[@kevinwiebe4136]

I have a full set of original 13 inch mercades wheels. But if you need 5x112 wheels you can get them off of say an audi a4 or a vw passat. They'd have 15 inch wheels with the right bolt pattern

[@iansaga93]

Even Bmw have 5/112

[@prc810]

The Classical music was inspired, but the ballet steps with Slick had me rolling on the floor laughing !

[@funonyoutube1716]

In the 1970s, my father picked up 3 1965 Mercedes from the streets of Philadelphia. One ran; two were for parts. Schoolteacher family, but we drove a Mercedes! Great to see this great old car on your channel!

[@305Spartin]

I’m glad you got it, I have one exactly. Mine is a 1960 220S and basically a survivor, the only thing it is missing is the star on the hood.

[@mtrgv]

Amadeus would be proud of your classical music and ballet!!!! That was funny!!!!!!!!

[@kennethsonier1766]

Good evening from Cape Cod 🦈 holy crap that Mercedes popped off and runs okay 👍 it was cool having Slick and Bill there in the shop participating in the fun. Oh Rupert, watch me catch some air time 😂 this really was a great video ✌️🇺🇲

[@TruckzNTrainz]

Mondays are always better with Puddins Fab shop action!

[@roberttorian9303]

You need Rupert to change tires...RUPERT GET OVER HERE! Those holes that you call pipes at all four corners are to insert the tire jack, that you may not have. Still used today.

[@CharlesSmith-hy3hl]

Always a pleasure to see some good friends enjoy their time together. Keep Bill coming around.

[@mountaineermonkey7714]

Rebuild kit for that carb is easy to get. It’s a solex . Very common on foreign cars

[@chadburkle1461]

Is it a 34 pict 3 ?

[@SagaciousTwo]

The pipes in front of the wheels are for the jack.

[@avahunkler4074]

What fun you three working together ! Really fun to see occasionally.

[@dolinick]

very good. i'm ready to work on some of my projects as well. 1983 f100 and a 1979 C20. the 1968 F500 also. Thank you Puddin for the inspiration!

[@DaveDrell]

Those types of German mechanical shift linkage systems were used in VWs up until the end of the MK3 (98-99). There may be some parts off those that could help. Also the common upgrade for the VW stuff was heftier heim joint parts with adjustable rod ends, that way plastic bushings don’t wear out and you get that satisfying mechanical feel and sound when shifting.

[@kenpenry6597]

Hope you’re feeling better Puddin enjoy your videos

[@The-Walrusking]

Those little pipe openings under the rocker panel are jack points for the original jacks for the cars

[@scotthogan6891]

Watching your channel from Magnolia Texas where is pre warm not too much bad weather here

[@RyanLeBlanc1]

6:32 that’s a jack point. They make a nifty jack to go in there

[@jameskloss3866]

Another great video, cool car, and good laughs as always. Thanks for sharing and God bless

[@DeadReckon]

Oooooh Ruuuupert! Shall we go for a drive?

[@crunchycowboy3206]

The tube in the rockers is for the car jack.

[@novavroomvroom3435]

6:28 That's where the jack goes...

[@mjc8248]

When i was parting and scrapping those in the 90s, they usually ran. Most of them were just parked because the owner got a new car.

[@WoodyDowler]

When i was in berlin Germany thats what they used for taxi cabs , most all were diesel

[@robertn2813]

300D is the best taxi ever !!!!!!!!

[@Smalls_Childress89]

Hot Damn It's Time For Another One 🤘

[@Sohave]

I have always loved the old heckflosse Mercedes! Just a super elegant car design.

[@bradbaumgartel2688]

Kansas is the "Land of Ahs" it was a tourism slogan back in the late 80's or early 90's. It was meant to be like ah relax or ah that's interesting based on things to see and do here.

[@tallboy2234]

Kansas is also the Land of OZ, because Dorothy and her little dog ,Toto, from the movie, The Wizard of OZ, were from there. 👍🤔😉

[@dadsvespa]

Nice little Mercedes Puddin! Those Engines are bullet proof and they ride like a car twice its size! They corner better most vehicles out there today!

[@bethevenden4607]

Pretty sure those bonnet hinges have two positions to give you more room

[@trentdawg2832]

Theres usually a tab on the hinges that let the hood up to a 90 degree angle…..i know my mbz does

[@plasticgod09]

Rupert is going to be a fun build! Can't wait!

[@Salmomlox]

It's Puddin' Time! Krap show has more of a meaning. Slick Fiddy in the house. Hope you feel better soon, Puddin' Oooooh Ruuuupert! Shall we go for a drive? This episode made me laugh more times than I can count. Watch what happens when Puddin gets locked in the Mercedes.

[@MikeOcampo-ql3mw]

HighLight #1 Slick doing the ballet jump into your arms. HL #2 Bill saying the rat poop "tastes like shit "! HL 3 The "Wild Bill" coupon! Every time I think you can't TOP something, you DO! Keep doin' ur thang, keep it real, and keep havin' FUN! That's why we watch, and why you are successful. Thanks for the laughs.

[@CoalChrome]

You forgot stumegutegannet

[@harrycallaghan3057]

The mercedes is definitely a survivor. I've seen them totally disintegrate with rust.

[@Jojoandsonsgarage]

Awesome Mercedes!!! I’ve learned that those nail files have silicone on them that actually end up insulating the points to prevent spark….I personally use a points file then clean them with a notecard or piece of paper after I do my filing. 60% of the time it works every time!

[@billycurran9688]

I was dieing when the ol towrolla fail off the ramps 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@brockness7133]

hopefully the bathroom in the new part of the shop will be done soon for ya!

[@kumakendo]

That Little Mercedes would be one sweet little ride if you left the body as is (obviously fixed the rot) but metal flake the roof, make some kustom fender skirts and either a tuck and roll or Mexican blanket interior. 🤙🏽

[@LilBellow]

Oh my goodness! I wasnt ready for the mid episode dance with Slick 😂😂😂 I spit my drink out 🤭. Lol, i wasnt ready.

[@MrStacy1974]

The pipes coming out of the rockers are for the WIDOW MAKER jack with it's tiny base. If you use the factory jack make sure to chock the wheels , the jack will roll causing the car to fall.

[@revivalranch4231]

😂 I live just a bit south of Roswell, and Bill is absolutely right. When I got out of boot camp, I rode the bus there, and holy shit the weird people! But there is a bad ass honey hole just outside of town with some awesome old rides.

[@DonaldWesoja]

Appreciate that Toby Keith tribute Puddin! 👍

[@ryancoates4054]

what part?

[@Blake91818]

Puddin has proper tools 5 feet away and still grabs the Milwaukee fastback and wirestrippers. Love it And hate it haha

[@skipbreakfast]

You never fail to get me laughing, no matter what.

[@ttvtommybtw]

Keep slick and bill around so much better when there around

[@ericwilkinson9447]

FYI.. that little pipe sticking out of the rocker panel is for the 'Fancy' jack

[@cl1587]

Always good to see Slick and Bill.

[@notimegarage8632]

[@patricksnow1700]

Those holes along the rockers are for the jack to lock into
