Doesn't this Hough remind you of a Tonka loader in the sandbox ? Makes you wonder if in fact a Hough was the base model for Tonka loaders. Great knowing she's still earning her keep.
Had to be hough was the only one with cab on the front and weirdest story to it is that hough did a survey from alot of operators on what they would prefer and they told hough on the front so they did but for some reason it didn't pan out even though they asked the operators but if you use a fron cab machine and get use to it its much easier that your traditional style because your bucket is always in line of view for loading trucks new machines the pillars get in the way when you are turned and but takes a while to get use to baking up a hough but once you got it it is a better set up to use
@@mikethorntonr1 Hough wasn't the only one with a front mounted cab. Off the top of my head, there were also Case and Dart. There may well have been others also.
@@alco4248 case and ih did have front mounted cabs but you might aswell called them a hough same with dresser like the transmission in mine is the same as dresser 530
Definitely the inspiration for the Tonka front end loader. I loaded so much sand with mine when I was a kid I probably coulda filled the bucket on this baby!
Most of these arm chair experts would not even now how to start it never mind run it. She’s a gem. Have a H90 sitting in the yard around the same vintage.
I got a 1969 hough h65c just rebuilt the engine and fuel pump on it can't beat these old girls they push like no other also no new loader will push pick up there ass end like they do and if you are interested i got pics of it shes on her 3rd engine rebuild goes to show how you cant kill old iron and just re did all the brakes and she starts first thing in the winter while all the other loaders are getting either and jumper cables lol
Great video PA. Love the old Houghs. Toughest loaders built back in the day. First ones with Z bar linkage which EVERY loader built now has. You do get use to the front mounted cab if your in one long enough. Case also had front mounted cabs when they released the W series machines as well as Massey Ferguson, Lorain and early JCBs and the big Dart 600 also had cabs mounted on the front frame half. Thanks for the video PA. Shes a rare machine these days , Great to see one still paying the bills.
The ironic thing is that simple mechanically operated machine is still working while many new computerized machines are parked with electrical issues Einstein couldn't figure out. Awesome videos you are making sir, thank you!
That would be the original 992 then the 992B as they were both rated at10 yds. The C version was rated at 12.5 yds so it became larger than the 400 Hough.
Man does this bring back fond memories, thank you! I operated a H400 in a surface mine near Wellsburg WVA from April '68 til May '69 when I got drafted!
Yeah certain companies are very crucial about any slippage so as a operator you always try not to but then you have some places that make so much money they just want the job done now and don't care lmao been at both but honest to god if you ran a hough there a different beast they push like no other so trying to get a hough not to spin is really hard they just wanna go if you know what I mean
@@mikethorntonr1 I HEAR you! I ran a Kawasaki 115 Z-IV with a QSK putting out around 410 horses and you had to feather foot it or it'd cut the tires off it. I learned how to work it but it was the bucket that made it or broke it and I know you know about that. 18 tons of crusher run regularly but it loaded the haul trucks when the shovel went down. But it was a bear. Keep burning diesel, Mile. BLESSINGS 2 U!
Never ran a big girl like this but used to run an old army case W24C pulling sand out of a wall overseas. Very little throttle, the art of not spinning was the bucket curl, gotta load those front tires. I used to watch a guy at an old pit load a 980C almost at an idol that is what I tried to do too
@@justinspaulding5636 Never ran any Case O.D. stuff but went t.d.y. at Ft. Knox and ran a test on an 1150 Case dozer. I think the 980 at the boulder hole was a D or E. Square hood and a 3208 engine. 10 ton bucket. Sweet old machine. Then a 980 G with a dry cab and a.c. and a heater AND a radio! That was my 1st dry cab and almost my 1st cab period. I started on a road job in 69 pulling a sheepsfoot. Then Army and out nd burning diesel ever since. Wasn't a 24C where the cab was on the fr5ont end instead of the back like a Cat? I remember seeing some somewhere and thinking I'd be going all over the place in it.
I really don't like the tailwaggers, everytime I have driven one you have to keep your eye on the rear end whenever you are backing up, as soon as you don''t bang, you have have jack knifed it and the tail end is next to you.
Awesome old beast! Is it me or do the bucket pins seem really worn, every time it touches the ground it settles left or right about 5 inches! Still, love to have one of these! Maybe I'll open an Old equipment playground here in NH! Just need about 100 acres... . .
somebody needs to tell the operator that he is NOT driving a bulldozer but a loader.. why is he picking up the dirt then dumping it 4 feet away before backing up 20 feet to get another load to drop it another 4 feet away?? a huge waste of time and money.
It appears he is breaking up a pile of very hard packed clay so it's easier to load, that way he can get a full bucket to Cary to wherever he is spreading it.
I dont know when the last time you shoved clay around like that. If the clay is going to be loaded in trucks, the way he's tilling up the clay, at least it will come out of the dump box and not need an excavator to scrape 1/2 the load out of it.
Watching a wheel loader work off of improved grounds reminds me how much more productive and versatile a crawler loader is.
Doesn't this Hough remind you of a Tonka loader in the sandbox ? Makes you wonder if in fact a Hough was the base model for Tonka loaders. Great knowing she's still earning her keep.
I always thought the same thing. The way that the cab is attached to the front half of the machine.
Had to be hough was the only one with cab on the front and weirdest story to it is that hough did a survey from alot of operators on what they would prefer and they told hough on the front so they did but for some reason it didn't pan out even though they asked the operators but if you use a fron cab machine and get use to it its much easier that your traditional style because your bucket is always in line of view for loading trucks new machines the pillars get in the way when you are turned and but takes a while to get use to baking up a hough but once you got it it is a better set up to use
I was just looking at a tonka loader at my neighbor's yesterday and was thinking the same thing. It def doesn't match an old cat 988B that's for sure

Perfeita máquina!! Traz mais vídeos dela por favor!! Isso é raridade!!

I had two of those as a kid lol. I never thought of that but you could be right! Thanks

The chances of seeing todays iron working strong in 40 to 50 years is zero
Agreed too many electronics to go bad this old girl is more basic

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
She may have some age and hours on her, but that engine still sounds strong and able to break those big tires loose easily. Love these old loaders.

Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it
I make my living figuring and fixing these problems. Equipment sure has come a long way.
Awesome I love them old international loaders and tractors 👍
What would be a similarly sized Caterpillar model of this same generation? This old girl is a beast, I love it.
That would be the original 992 then the 992B as they were both rated at10 yds. The C version was rated at 12.5 yds so it became larger than the 400 Hough.

The operator is pretty nice to the old girl.
And thank you it's hard to find video on 400c to me there bad ass
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Looks like that big girl could use some love
not bad for a 45 year old - what year is she
dear old girl still going strong
Terrible operator skills.
Hell Yeah super Cool
Love your videos keep them coming 👍👍👍
Thank you! They will always be coming!
Old rig still doing the job but I'd have been GNAWED if I'd spun like that, no matter WHERE it was! Thanks, Pal!

Them old hough and Clark loaders were very TOUGH
Man super Cool thank you for video man Cool I like the older equipment there hotter than Hell and super Cool in winter
have not seen one of these dinosaurs in a loooonnng time. top of the line in its day,simple to run turn key an go.
I really love old iron like this still being used
Would like to own one and have there r190 payhauler or 350
nice job with spreading clay so good to see this machines in action.
What a wild old tractor
Awesome old beast! Is it me or do the bucket pins seem really worn, every time it touches the ground it settles left or right about 5 inches! Still, love to have one of these! Maybe I'll open an Old equipment playground here in NH! Just need about 100 acres... . .
I'm sure everything is worn lol. Thanks

Lmao houghs are a dozer aswell theyll out push any loader and in the right conditions will push a dozer around all day
Are you a financial expert?
@@PAmining yes.
It appears he is breaking up a pile of very hard packed clay so it's easier to load, that way he can get a full bucket to Cary to wherever he is spreading it.
I dont know when the last time you shoved clay around like that. If the clay is going to be loaded in trucks, the way he's tilling up the clay, at least it will come out of the dump box and not need an excavator to scrape 1/2 the load out of it.
