Sisu SM320, 1988, Keminmaa

A proper old-school Sisu for sale.

Cummins 14 L engine with the one and only Eaton Fuller Road Ranger gearbox.

The vehicle has been in occasional hobby use for a long time.

Fitted with a chain roll-off body system.

Extensive maintenance carried out last autumn:

Exhaust renewed (straight vertical stack)

New air dryer

Four-circuit protection valve

Gear lever joints replaced

Mudguards

Work lights

Engine oils and filters

Gearbox and axle oils checked

Brakes serviced/adjusted

New tyres on the bogie

Hydraulic hoses

Hydraulic oil renewed

Air leaks repaired

Grease lines repaired

Unnecessary wiring removed

Fully greased

Various other small tinkering typical with older vehicles.

The cab needs welding.

The sale includes cab repair panels (old Karjaa stock; rear corners can be repaired)

Door skin panels for the lower edge.

New body rubbers for the tilt stabiliser (noted on the inspection)

During the winter standstill the speedometer began acting erratically.

The alternator needs a few revs to come to life after starting (replaced two years ago).

The range gearbox is slow, especially when cold — be careful when shifting to the high range.

Old vehicles always have some leaks and fiddly issues, but when asked it has gone to work and done the job.

The platform/bed is not included in the sale.

If you inspect closely you will certainly find play and cracks in the roll-off equipment, but nothing preventing use has been noticed.

Tyres in fair condition.

Nearly new at the front.

Drive-axle tyres older but with reasonable tread.

On the bogie two nearly new, two poorer.

There is typically a lot of smoke when starting the Cummins, but it calms down in motion and has never caused emissions problems at inspection.

Being sold to make room for an older bonneted-model Sisu.

Buyers should note this is an old working truck that has been used for work, so there may be faults and characteristics that have not been noticed; the vehicle is sold without warranty or right of return.

Please inspect the vehicle to avoid unnecessary disputes.
