    What loader is this??

    I have a Hough 65C and it's not a 65C. I'm still trying to determine what year ours was built but seems 1974 to 1976. The upper part of cast radiator grille is exactly like ours but the lower section which has those lights embedded in it isn't the same. I have a parts book and workshop...

    Hough 65C: Dozer blade & rippers images wanted.

    Hi there. I'm looking at what can be put on the Hough 65C and have been told that the machine we have here used to have rippers on the back end of it. They are long gone but the mounts are still attached. I'd like to see a photo or two if anyone has them. Also, I saw a Aussie photo many...

    How do I identify the model of a Hough 65

    I have since found out (by a guy who isn't a mechanic) that it's a 65 "C" because of the type of the DT 414 motor that's in it. I'd would be interested if that is known by others, as being correct. Cheers

    Lifting capacity of Michigan 75

    I guess this question is a bit like "How long is a piece of string" but can someone give me an idea of the weight the machine in the photo is likely to be able to lift. I have a guy interested in buying it and he has asked the question. I remember my deceased cobber saying how happy he was...
