Kramer 220 Parts Catalog – What You Get When You Stop Relying on Aftermarket Cross-Reference Lists

I’ve seen too many guys order a “fuel line kit” off a third-party parts website and end up with lines that are six inches too short or that use metric o-rings when the factory spec calls for a different cross-section. That’s exactly why you need the real Kramer 220 Parts Catalog – not a reprint, not a digital scan of someone’s coffee-stained photocopy, but the actual factory document from Kramer-Werke GmbH, edition 2.0, dated February 1999. 198 pages of nothing but exploded views, part numbers, and the kind of detail that tells you which sealing kit goes with which engine serial number range.

If you’re maintaining a Kramer 220 wheel loader – serial number range starting at 300 55 0001 – you already know that guessing on parts means downtime. This catalog is the reference that the dealer’s parts counter uses. It’s the same document printed in Germany, with the order number 0 37 003 00 90 right on the cover. Every time I’ve had to rebuild the hydrostatic drive on one of these loaders, I pulled this catalog first to verify bearing numbers before I placed an order. Saved me two weeks of waiting for the wrong part.

Engine and Fuel System Coverage

Open the catalog to the Motor; Engine; Moteur section and you’ll find the complete breakdown of the engine assembly – pistons, rings, gaskets, the whole works. Right after that comes Kraftstoffleitungen; Fuel lines; Conduites de carburant, which is where most of the ordering mistakes happen. The catalog shows every clip, every banjo bolt, every hose length by part number. You don’t have to measure the old hose and guess – you just read the number off the diagram. For the Kraftstoffbehälter; Fuel tank section, it even lists the sending unit and cap gasket. That saved a buddy of mine from replacing a perfectly good tank because the sending unit gasket had dried out and leaked.

3 Critical Systems Where the OEM Parts List Saves You

Hydraulic system – The Hydraulikanlage; Hydraulic system chapter covers the pump, control valve, cylinders, and all the hoses with their fitting types. On page 73 of the catalog you get the charge pressure relief valve assembly with the exact spring part number. Try matching that with a generic cross-reference guide and you’ll be ordering springs that don’t seat right.

Hydrostatic drive – Hydrostatischer Fahrantrieb; Hydrostatic drive is a thick section. The axle shafts, the drive motor, the charge pump – every seal and bearing is listed with its Kramer OEM number. I’ve seen aftermarket “equivalent” bearings fail inside 100 hours because the cage material was different. Not here.

Brake and clutch – Bremse; Brake and Kupplung; Clutch sections give you the full disc and lining sets. No guessing if the aftermarket pad will fit the caliper – the catalog shows the exact thickness and diameter specs in the exploded view.

Who Actually Needs This Catalog?

Home garage guys who take on a Kramer 220 rebuild. Farm owners who maintain their own wheel loaders. Small shop mechanics who don’t have a dealer on speed dial. If you’ve ever pulled a part off a loader, stared at it, and then spent an hour on the phone trying to describe it to a parts guy, you’re the audience. This catalog takes that hour down to five minutes. You open the section – say Vorderachse; Front axle – find the diagram, read the reference number, look it up in the parts number reference list (Teilesuchliste), and you’re done. One order, one package, no returns.

Source Authenticity: OEM vs Aftermarket

This is the genuine factory catalog from Kramer-Werke GmbH in Überlingen, Germany. Edition 2.0, published February 1999. The document number is ET 300 55. The cover even shows the KramerAllrad 220 with possible optional equipment. Every part number in this book was assigned by the engineers who designed the loader. Aftermarket parts catalogs often re-number components to fit their own inventory system, which leads to mismatches. I’ve found aftermarket catalogs that list the same part number for two different fuel filters because they didn’t catch the change between serial number splits. This factory catalog includes the exact serial number breaks – valid from chassis number 300 55 0001 – so you know which parts fit your machine.

Does This Catalog Include Torque Specs or Assembly Instructions?

Parts catalogs are for identification and ordering. They show exploded views and list every nut, bolt, seal, and gasket with its factory part number. For torque specs and step-by-step repair procedures, you need the matching service manual. But if you’re ordering parts, this catalog is the only source that guarantees you get the right Kramer factory part on the first try. Pair it with the Kramer 850 2010 Parts Catalog – OEM Spare Parts List or the Kramer 3207 2008 Parts Catalog – OEM Spare Parts List if you work on other models. The Kramer 750T 2007 Parts Catalog – OEM Spare Parts covers the 750T, which shares some hydraulic components with the 220.

Can I use this catalog to repair the hydrostatic drive?

No. This catalog shows part numbers and exploded views, not disassembly steps. You need the service manual for that.

How do I find a part number in this 198-page document?

Use the Teilesuchliste (Parts Number Reference List) at the back. Find the component in the diagram, note the reference number, then look up that number in the list to get the OEM part number. Then look up that part number in the main sections to see the description and any supersession notes. For example, if you need a fuel line for the Kraftstoffleitungen section, identify the reference number on the exploded view, go to the reference list, and you’ll get the exact 037 003 00 90-series number. Then order that. Takes two minutes once you know the layout.

You can waste time and money chasing aftermarket cross references, or you can get the real document. This catalog is the same one Kramer dealers pull up when you call them. 198 pages, factory diagrams, genuine part numbers. Access the Factory Manual and start ordering the right parts today.
