sorry it took so long guy but heres a few for u to look at,thanks,dale
ok theres a few pic up here on this loader a 1948 hough hf serial # 80005,does anyone else have 1?does anyone know of anybody else maybe have 1 in a barn,in the trees?i cant believe no one has even a comment,i know there were only so many made with small tires on the front,u couldnt handle the loader because to much weight in the bucket,thats why they but big tires on the front and little ones on the rear,i wanna hear ur comments on this,thanks,dale
Thats a nice looking loader dalemurphy.After viewing your other threads on the loader my memory was jogged.We actually had two of those loaders in my area,one was my customer who used his for loading logs & various other tasks around the farm and the other was at a junk yard where they used it to load out scrap iron.Niether loader had any kind of cab or rops protection.The owner of the junk yard was injured pretty bad in a rollover accident with his loader.They were moving it on the road to a job and the brakes dident work on it,it popped out of gear on a long steep hill and got out of controll.I would have thought Hough would have made quite a few loaders of this type but I have know idea of the numbers.Im sure they are a rare find today as most have went to the scrap yard.I havent seen one in years.
thanks td25c i was told the only made about 12 of these and then changed the tires around they were to hard to steer,i dont know of anyothers around so had to put a dollar figure on it,i would like to repaint and take to a few shows but busy trucking so if i find time ill do it,again thanks for your reply dale murphy ps if uyou spot anyothers like this let me know
OK, I gotta know. How do you get in it? It doesn't look fat guy friendly.
hey cat278b you are right on the right theres 1 step u crawel in through, the back window slides forward,actually u can from either side but yeah not a lota room to get in or out very small inside the cab also,thank you for your reply,dale
Great loader. Just wondering how many hours per day it can work?
We have a 1948 Hough HMD 90309D that just stopped working this last spring. It overheated and a piston got hot. Does not run at this time. We are thinking of scraping it but wanted to check if there are collectors out there interested in the 1948 year Hough payloader. I have pictures and if you know of anyone interested please email me or if you know of places to post it for possible people interested please email me. My email address is [email protected] . Phone No. 715-748-3587.
Dale Murphy, We have a Hough HF payloader - running condition and wish to sell. Looking for some one who also has one.
