Rob Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 . Wait a second? Are you guys tryin to make this funny?.........Vinny There is a rhyme and reason for everything.I gotta admit, a Hough was tough in the rough. There used to be a lot of them around here in the mines. All differing power sources. I worked on one that had a Continental "Red Seal" flathead six once. I actually liked that one as it was very, very quiet to operate.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Speed Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I used one like that first pic but without the top for a while at a paving outfit I did tires for;wouldn't start without jumpers from the service truck,had absolutely the HARDEST steering of anything I've ever driven. Half the time I had to back up and re-angle to get it around a corner. I only used it to set the bucket on truck wheels when I inflated the tires before (and after) the welder finally made me a tire cage out of re-bar.(!!) Anyway,it seemed to run good and worked okay for loading trucks etc. if the operator had REALLY strong arms,which I didn't. (That is what taught me to let the machine do the work,but this thing-might have been worth red-tagging it until the P/S worked.)

Timothy Maikshilo Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Here is a loader I had for a few years. Then I listened to my wife and sold it. Only time I listened to her and wish that I didn't have a "yes dear" moment. 1988 and had a remain engine and was repinned and bushed.

Olivetroad Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 everytime I see one of those old wheel loaders or a old skidloader with no cage to keep you inside the cab, I cringe. We had a neighbor black out while running one, and he fell over to the side, hit the hydraulics and the arms came down and killed him. Like riding the train at the zoo - keep your arms and head inside the car.I won't have one on the place.

slpwlker Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Our new loader at the Waterford plant. Joy stick steering and very nice scale system. Dave is a happy boy....It's funny they go with the joystick controls on the bigger machines but leave the steering wheel on the smaller ones. I wonder why?

Timothy Maikshilo Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I don't know but will ask. Dave the operator is old school but he is getting the hang of it. I bet someone like Vinny's age would have no problem.
