Watch that mouse run when he finally gets it started 14:36

Nothing like having to fix something in order to fix something. Dam I love old machines, and tools, but some of the time, it's like banging your head on a wall until it stops hurting. Then other's, everything works as if it was all brand new fresh from the factory. Then you wake up from your nap, realize you just finished your late cold supper. It's 3 AM, you've still got grease covering more of you than what you were working, you've gotta be at work in couple hours, and it's hour half drive away just to get there. That's usually how things work for me, are did before I decided that I had tore up enough of my body, and just stay home tending cows taking it easy before it's time to go. Try a solar panel to keep your batteries hot when they sit dormant for extended periods of time, and the low amps won't cook the acid/water outta them. I found that sometimes, starting them in gear will pop the pressure plates loose too. Of course you need a clear path when you do that, are as you say, might have to go put new door there where there wasn't one before.

You got a real Gem with the old loader, runs like a top , she’s a little small to lift the heavy engine but did a good job giving her a push, you did a good job getting her into place looks good sitting out front of the shop like that 👍love all your videos keep them coming mate ! Thanks from Down Under 🦘🦘

I love old machines

This looks like a fun project for sure! Love to see more of the Hough loader too, they are pretty wild machines.

The HOUGH with counter weight on the back pulls good.....Thanks my friend.....Your friend Old Navy Flying Shoe in my 80's🇺🇸

I have a Hough loader a Lote like yours. we put a C65 chevy rotter on the rear-end yoke welded a caliper to frame & brakes we had. rotter came from Freight Shaker dealer dumpster (does not have to be new) master cylinder 1950's single line any brand will work. it had a working Emergency band brake but would not stop it on a Missouri Hill. It has a 1985 chevy 250 six & 350 auto tranny someone welded= put Crome cylinder rod where kingpins used to be. I have a ton 4x4 dana 70 I might put under front end and then I could steer it loaded and make it front wheel drive with power steering and power front disk brakes. Oh, my loader has been converter to forks not bucket. will pick-up full-size car from the 70's without motor and stack car on car, just hard to get traction even tire chained up. great video very Inspiring.

That took some serious Houghin' and puffin' to get up there :) Nice machines, both the loader and the engine!

29:42 I got one hell of a bunch of seals making one hell of a racket and flapping their flippers!

hi there neat old piece .great drive way plane . nice old engine , good show john

I'm an engine lover and new viewer of your channel. keep doing what you're doing... although I must admit that I would like to see a more finished (restored) product in addition to getting these old machines running again.

Had a friend who had a smaller version of the Hough was from a steel mill ! nice iron!

Dead plug or plug lead as it seems to have that 5 cylinder noise. Maybe a stuck valve. Great machine.

Make yourself a backup generator with her,hahaha.

Had an old Herc in a very old boat. It was a slugger with lots of torque but not a great top end. A good memory though.

I'm down in the back today, so thanks for giving me a project to watch when I can't work on my own. I always enjoy your videos

Hay thats an excellent road grader😂😂😂😂 no more lumps on your road

14:39 a mouse ran out from the bucket to under the tree, Top left of screen

That's a cool piece of machinery! Sounds like an old Sherman tank.

what a weird cool little tractor. i enjoy the variety of stuff on your channel ! you and me would get along good. i’ve got to much variety on my channel, the algorithm doesn’t know what to do with me😂 good job.

Very interesting. 🇬🇧👍

Can’t wait to see that big engine running again!!!!

WAuv good sound 👍

Heck of a machine. I'd need a ladder to get in and out though. 😂

Beauty full old machine 👍👍👍

I see that steam engine was made in Grove City Pa witch I live 30 mins from there lol awesome video!!

That’s one heavy piece of iron 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

This old machine looks like the inspiration for the modern Bobcat cheers from OZ

Good job bro 👍🏻

Nice work! But that payloader looks like a death trap.

Good way to grade the driveway 😂

What a beast!!

Great stuff, looking forward to seeing the big old engine Getty Ng some live

Goodlooking old hough

Man would I love you to be my neighbor cause you could clear my lot so easy in a few hours with that machine

Get ahold of Jonathan W, he knows it all about them engines. Nice loader btw

Anyone else see the mouse run out of under that thing lol!

This is actually a beautiful machine. To put power steering on her should be easy. As easy as fixing that dead miss in one cylinder. If that miss was fixed she would have a whole bunch more low end torque. She can just about move herself now.

When you go to park at again you should block that clutch pedal down so that you have no tension on a pressure plate on the desk and then it won't stick

pretty neat Kevin

Gotta love old iron! It doesn't die.

Bet that clutch is shiny now!

The gravel pit that I worked at we had four different ones them Huff four-wheel drive in loaders they were a lot of fun to drive and I think international bought out the Hough payloader

That shifted the mouse! 😂😂

Ive ran several different Hough and Michigan 6 cyl gas loaders loading trucks and filling jaw at stone quarrys. Sounds like that one needs a new plug or wire, seems to be hitting on 5 cylinders, I know from experience that other cylinder hitting makes a hell of a difference in power

Love these old 1950's loading shovels and the evolution of them....Over here in UK companies like Bray and JCB were taking 'tractor' skid units and converting them until eventually they started making their own 'chassis' that were more in line with the ideas they were trying to project. I see your has a Hercules engine, early loaders in UK mostly 99% would have had Perkins diesels.

Old gal still has some guts left in her.

Great job 👍

Its sounds amazing

Looks like something designed to load a top dressing air craft

Like butta!

A fine machine that should be saved , can’t be many like it left running or rusting . A candidate for at least a mechanical restoration. These were generally meant for stock pile work on hard ground ?

Well, the old girl did great. She was a little bit "Houghy" but she did ok for having been asleep for four years.

Sometime later Hough turned it around, ran a driveshaft to the front end and put the drive wheels up front where they could have traction when the bucket was loaded, like a forklift. Odd that they didn't think of that from the beginning. Eventually they went to 4 wheel drive. That big cart looks good, what engine is going on it?

Make up sled style runners under that engine if not a trailer frame. Hydraulic jacked up / down wheels would be a trailer of sorts.

Has to be late 50's. I have one the first hough loaders. It's only 4500 lbs. and has hydraulic bucket. I think its a 53 and 52 was the first year.

Just out of curiosity....why is that when someone doan old start videos they never have a good battery with them? They always spend most the video fiddling with trying get enough volts to crank the engine. Is this for cinematic reasons? 😂 Anyone else ever noticed this?

That went WAY better then I thought it would

Was wondering if might lift it after got outa dirt.anyhow that worked slick.looks good.i have a 1961 75A .payloader.plate says tractor shovel. Runs and works as should.

👍🇺🇲

I'm in an everything you can do to bust those clutches loose. I've done it on many trucks and old tractors speak in a year before you crank it And you stick it in One of the low gears or reverse while holding the clutch pedal and you crank it should break it loose about you grinding the gears.

cool

I thik the Jeep would out pull it! lol

Your KZfaq channel and now your podcast has inspired me to pull out some of the engines that I've had stored out back for a very long time. One of them could be a twin to the Bessemer that you just moved. The other is a side shaft Superior. Pretty cool engine. I'm anxious for you to work on the Bessemer so I can see what I need to do to get mine going. What is a good source of parts for either of these engines?

That Hough is one of the most "built backwards" machines ever made ! I have run several and all loose traction when lifting ...good in the day..POS now !

test light? multimeter?

I drove one of them when I work for the township loading gravel all the weight was on the front wheels and it was a b**** to steer in the back end would raise off the ground and you had no traction

What is it a pump?

gud work ,But giv the trator more love . And some day i see the motor runing

Definitely keep marvel mystery oil in fuel and oil that Hercules engine will run better delo 30 for engine

22:30 Look Ma, what's that fellow on that yellow digger machine doing? He's grading his driveway. Awful strange thing that he's doing it with, don't ya think?

Why intake pipe off probably big ol mouse house inside don't understand why people take shit apart then leave it then wonder why things go for 💩😂🤣😅other wise cool old loader and even better that it runs that thing just looks so awkward to run 👍👍

You don't need brakes.Just drop the bucket.

If u can't find'em grind'em( poor transmission )

That pay loader is an odd looking machine

Boy, that loader sure is ugly, but it does the job

It's a German make

Its very dangerous to start any machine while you're not in the seat. There should be a safety interlock to keep it from starting in gear but a lot of guys got run over by their own tractors doing what you did

That loader is terrible in every way 🥴 sorry

"The tire's definitely flat" , and you drive the machine anyway? Dumb!...You're driving around and cutting up the tube in the tire, or tearing the stem off of the tube, when it is easy (and cheap) to PUT AIR IN THE TIRE! (and expensive to buy a tube)... By the way, the machine would be easier to steer with air in the steering axle tires... Just sayin'...

Sounds like one cylinder ain't as happy as the rest. Those are good engines, well worth fixing 👍
