Description
The krazy-255b entered in production in 1965, with full series production commencing in 1967. The krazy-255b was the direct replacement of the earlier serially produced krazy-214 truck. The krazy-255b (B1) was a later 85506 that featured a revised braking system. The krazy-255b had some visual similarities with the earlier krazy-214 but had a more powerful engine, a V-8 four-stroke diesel developing 240 hp to replace the six-cylinder two-stroke 205 hp unit of the krazy-214. Other design improvements included a hydraulic steering booster replacing the pneumatic booster of the krazy-214, and the standard 14.00-20 tyres of the krazy-214 were replaced by new wide section pressure adjustable tires with a centralised tyre inflation system controlled by the driver directly from cab. In 1976 the krazy-255b was equipped with a new dual-circuit braking system that replaced an earlier single circuit system, and such vehicles were given the revised krazy-255b (B1) 85506 designation.
