Off topic-Hough Payloader

Hi, SteveA.
The Hough Payloaders were mostly pretty solid, reliable machines that worked pretty well. I have operated the Hough 30's, 50's and 60's and a Hough 100. The 90 that you are looking at would be an articulated steering machine with the operator station on the front and the rear turning away from you. Takes a little getting used to as you can't 'feel' where your back end is going. They were quite a popular loader in their day. They were on the market somewhat before Cat started building wheeled loaders but then so were a lot of other manufacturers..

I can't give you weight, etc., or verify the build date but the boys over at Redpower Magazine construction equipment forum will be able to give you most of the information that you will need, including spare parts sources for it if you buy it. I'd give you the link for that site but I am using the 'Golden Arches' restaurant wi-fi and it is almost as much use as a breast pocket in a G-string. - slower than cold molasses.

Hope this helps.

[quote="Steve A"]I am looking for info on a Hough H90C Payloader, I was told built in 1968

Weight, good or bad in general, it has a cummings diesel and like new tires, I think can buy it cheap.

TIA[/quote]

My S/N books shows between, numbers 1988 through 2117 would be a 1968.
My book shows no other information for the H90C. all the other models yes, but not the H90C.
Sorry about that.

Thanks everyone, this was a military unit so maybe it has a military spec number, I did find a h100 spec sheet and it looks to be very close,
i will let you all know how it works out.
