either the skill of the mechanic or the robustness of the diesel merc or both got it running!

Thanks for posting it Ben! I loved it!

I have started two diesels that had sat for over 10 years and it wasn't too difficult, but I didn't use the starter, I towed them to start.

I wonder how long it had sat up. It had not been on the road in at least 12 years because it looked like it had the old license plate that required the oval country designator. Sometime in 2000 or earlier they went to a license plate that incorporated the country.
