    The deisel one is well known for being quite reliable and easy to keep running for a very long time. Also known for being very well built.

        I lost the gas cap for one. The guy at the parts store laughed at me when I asked for a gas cap for a Mercedes, then he looked through the book said “Oh” and grabbed one from the shelf that had five of them on it. It’s the same cap as tractors use.
