thanks to Dutch for the heads-up about the different versions. i now have full access to the parts catalogue for my L406D.
Can anyone help me figure out where and how to subscribe as well!


@Barnumlives;
This is exactly what I am dealing with. I was just gifted a 1974 L 608 D with the OM314 and 5spd. It's brakes and front end are in dire need of some new parts and rebuild. Seems the brake cylinders are frozen up, and the brake lines are in horrible shape. Also, at any speeds above 60Km/hr the front end shakes, I so I am thinking king pins and wheel bearings, but need to look deeper. Also, I would LOVE to get ahold of some other odd parts.

Here is a link to a web album for my 608D restoration project:

I met this guy this last spring, Jeffery London http://www.jefflondon.net/ He is a very nice little old man, and he supposedly has a very large collection of parts for these vehicles. He is trying to sell them off bulk now, maybe if there are others interested, we could do a group buy. There is an excel sheet downloadable from his site, with a mostly complete list of the parts and quantity he has. LOTS!



Getting a bit overwhelmed... any help, or kind words are appreciated.

Forgetting the brakes and front end for now.. and focusing on tearing out the bad ceiling tiles and dry rot, and investigating how to raise the roof 40cm Summer is FINALLY here in Oregon, and I have lots of work to do!

-Cheers to all from Cascadia
