Hi everyone, Like the title says I am looking for a service manual for a Hough Payloader 540. I don't have the s/n but I think it is somewhere in the mid 70s. Any leads are much much appreciated! Nathan
We had one of those but it was later. I will see if the book is still around. If that is the original paint and stickers it may be a little later. Dresser acquired International in 82.
That would be amazing if you had books for this machine. I will be looking after this machine for a friend and we would be more than happy to pay you fair price for any literature. My poor buddy put 50k into it in the last couple years between a motor replacement (zero hr) and trans rebuild. Could have bought a decent 966 that one could actually get parts and books for
They are looking, don't get your hopes up... he passed away about 3 years ago and most of that material left not to long after he did. The son is checking. They weren't to bad a machine just had to get used to sitting on the wrong end of the machine I will call on Saturday and see if he had any luck.
Just one place I might try if needing information on an old Hough/Dresser: https://www.hrparts.com/ I don't know if they do much with those brands but at one time they were one of the "Go To" places for used Hough/Dreser parts. Who know's they may have some old manuals they would part with?
Uptown Charlie, Sorry to say he could not find them. he believes they went when the machine did. I will keep looking also
Ok thanks alot MD I appreciate you and everyone's input. I will keep scowering eBay. I sure hope I can find some manuals. Feel much more confident knowing what the manufacturer has to say about the machine.
