Kramer 312

[Strawberry roan]

Are they any good , what should I look out for if I look at one and what height are they? Ta

Better than 2wd with loader. 312SE is rear wheel steer and notorious for knackered universal joints (£££) and pivot pins as one axle does all the steering. 312LE (?) is 4 wheel steer so each axle only has to turn half as much, so half as much wear?
Solid old buses but don't expect miracles for £4k?

Try and get an SL, they are strobger built, ours has done well over 12k hrs, with no major problems, although it has just had UJs wll round recently, its still used every day

I had a 312le for 18 years.Was a great loader.Now got a 418 telescopic which is just as handy .

Ours has done nearly 14k hours, no major problems and very handy. if you go to see one jack it up and check the uj's from memory i think they are £400 each. check the hub bearings while it is up too.

Did you ever replace the brake liners on your 312.
Just wondering how the top two pins come out that hold the liners in place.
Tryed to remove mine but cannot get these pins to move.

Gas bottles and slide hammer pulling on the 8mm (?) threaded hole in them.

What Brian doesn't know about Kramers, is not worth knowing...

However, he is booked to come to me for a service first...

Owning one is life changing!! All consuming, especially when it doesn't move....
