I have the HF model which is very similar. Mine has the Hercules six cylinder and has proven to be a good runner. I've owned it since the eighties and still use it every winter to plow snow. I do have the original cab for mine and have put it on once. It's a bear to open and close so now it resides in the rafters of my shop.
Good job getting the girl running. I have a 43 2N that needs points as haven't run in 2 yrs. I always block the clutch to prevent the dreaded stuck clutch.
About 50 yrs ago we had a bough HAH and that what we thought of it. One time one our workers was loading sawdust. The loader had a cab on it. Well, he ran out of gas just as he was dumping his load. With the arms up and over the truck he was trapped inside till we refueled it to get it started.
saw a guy from europe unstick an old rusty bulldozer clutch by soaking it with hot soapy water after freeifg it just ran it until clutch warmed up and dried out problem fixed simple solution
You might try towing another heavy vehicle around with the loader and occasionally jabbing the brakes on it to shock the driveline without having to start it in gear every time. Soaking it down with soapy water is supposed to help as well.
I have the same loader pulling the engine is not that big of a deal .Mine suffers from the same problems as yours. I am thinking about an engine swap as the Waukesha fc parts are getting hard to find and expensive. I also have some Allis Chalmers hd5 dozers, I look forward to seeing how this loader turns out. Good luck.
The next video on this loader will be pulling the engine and replacing the clutch. We are currently working on the hd5 loader and will hopefully have the video out in the next few weeks. Thank you for watching
I've got an HF. It's useless. Front steer, which is not power....get a load in the bucket and good luck steering. Also, gravity down hydraulics, not good for anything. Some time in past, someone replaced the original engine with a 1960's era six cylinder chevy engine, with the still intact 3 speed transmission. They built a short drive shaft to connect the chevy to the Hough shuttle tranny.. Think the rear axle isn't original, either, had to work on it and have determined that from the brake wheel cylinders that it was from a 1942 Chevy 1½ or 2 ton... cobbled together. The high-low gear box shifting mechanism is worn out and gets stuck in neutral often. Real unhandy. I've got it running and usable, but now the throwout bearing has failed and the clutch doesn't work. There is no easy way to work on any of the running gear, because everything is in such a compact area with no access panels. Everything is in the way and welded solid. I'm done with it....not worth fooling with.
@@markroderick3300 nothing will help.. it's a poor design, That's why they are obsolete and don't make things like this any more... too much weight on the steering axle.
Have you got any idea how much trouble that would be.... what are you going to power the hydraulic steering with? There is no room to get down in there and do anything between the frame rails, or even laying on the ground underneath it.... it's not meant to be worked on, it's not user-friendly.
Looks like you have a little bit of everything to keep you busy. Glad to see you have a heart to see some old equipment survive the scrap metal pile.
Thanks for watching
keep up these kick ass videos! cant wait to see content on that kwopper in the background
Thanks for watching
Nice to see the old iron saved from the scrap pile!
Great to watch this work, I work on old stuff and do just the same as you guys, same problems, same repairs, well done.
Thanks for watching

Very neat, you should take it to some heavy equipment shows like national Pike
In the 60's I was a kid, these loaders were common as they could get in to tight areas. This was long before the "Skid Steer"

That's a good idea, I wish someone thought of that when they parked this one. Thanks for watching
Excellent camera position and detailing 🇬🇧🇮🇪.

First things first: Let’s get that back-up beeper working!
Just subscribed!
I think most Payloaders this old don't have functioning brakes so this backup warning was I guy yelling get out of the way.

I bet he was happy, still better than a shovel though
A pleasure to watch
Thank you for watching
Now that's one stuck clutch You can thank the mouse piss for that.
That's for sure
Nice work

You mekanik good and genius.,

I wonder if one of those new electric power steering units from a car would help the steering.

@@osut688 convert it to full hydraulic steering
