    Any one have experience with Rippers on a wheel loader?

    I have a Hough 65C which apparently used to be carrying them around. The mounting frame is still on the machine but sadly, no rippers. They could have been handy thats for sure. Sadly, the ripper mounts have covered over the chassis number which no makes it impossible to read or find out the...

    michigan 75b loader trans oil

    I had one of those old girls (75B) but cant remember for sure but I have a feeling it had a large paper cartridge filter also. Maybe Im thinking of the Hough 65C which I know has a separate paper element as well as the 2 gauzes in the bottom of the Trans. I'd check for the filter and if it...

    Hough 65C Hydraulic Reservoir with continual water contamination

    hmmmm......, I actually am not aware of any hyd' oil cooler on the machine. Well, I haven't come across it anyway. If you mean the main reservoir, then no, its in excellent condition but hey, thanks for the idea and input. I haven't check the oil for more contamination for some months now and...

    Broken HSS drill bit in broken Stud. Assistance would be great!

    Well the sod of a thing is out! First try was using mig to attachna 3/8 hex nut on to the stud. Nope. Nut screwed off Second try: More heat and bigger nut and mig filled the centre and then spiraling to the top of the nut. Nope. Nut certainly had a greater tension before it wound off but...

    Hey, whats TGIF stand for? Does the last letter of the four continue with uck-ups? Thanks for the replies guys and RayF, as Im pretty much a non-welder, that would impress me if you could just blow out that sized bolt with a gas axe. I don't think I could watch. :eek: :notworthy You've...

    Broken HSS drill bit in broken Stud. Assistance would be great!

    Hi Guys. Thanks so much for the suggestions and indeed the time you have taken to ponder on my problem. I hope Santa left you a beer or two when he left a few days back. Just to clarify a bit more. The stud held on a water manifold and as it passed through the manifold, the design of the...

    Broken HSS drill bit in broken Stud. Assistance would be great!

    Thanks to Carlsharp and Rare SS for their ideas. The wonderful web site of the magnificent work of web site "Mikesworkshop" that Carl suggested I take a look at, has some beautifully made products. ALMOST as beautiful as a naked woman but we wont go there ay. Well, at least some of them. And...

    Hough H60-D loader Hough H65-D

    Hi there. I have had a 60B and have just the 65C and although I haven't checked them out side by side, I am pretty sure you will find the pin sizes different. I know the bucket on 65C is a 3 cubic metre (it had Greedy panels added to the sides of it to get that size but it has a major sized...

    Looking for suggestions

    Grandpa above, is quite right. That's why when we had 4 loaders, we stuck with the ol' Hough's. (plus an ol' grunty Michigan 75B) There wasn't a great selection to choose from 25 - 20 years ago here in New Zealand but it certainly meant that the familiarity helped when something broke. And the...

    Hough 65C Has no 3rd gear. Anyone have any ideas?

    About 3 years back, I sold a 60B. I am unsure what a D would be but I'd imagine a later version of a B. Infact, I have a manual for it still stack in a special place. Can't quite remember where that special place is but I know its there somewhere. The pedals haven't worked on any of the 5...

    Hough 65C Has no 3rd gear. Anyone have any ideas?

    I have been doing the old girl up. Done all the oils & filters. Cleaned trans guaze. Sorted all hoses with the exception of 1 lift ram. Started on brakes. BUT after I put the radiator back in and being all excited about starting the ol' girl up, (1st time in a yr) I did al the check and took...

    *** Help Please *** Hough 400 Loader

    Another important factor (which I learnt about the hard way) is that both Transmission and Torque convertor/Hydr reservoir are checked with warm oil, and gear shift sitting in neutral. Back then, I thought Torque convertor oil should be checked with it running cause a car's automatic gear box...

    *** Help Please *** Hough 400 Loader

    I don't know the filter where-abouts on the machine you mentioned (H60D) but my Hough 65C has a large reservoir and if looking inside it when the oil is in it, I can't see the 3 very large filters inside the reservoir. They are about 6inches (150mm)under the oils surface when on the dipsticks...

    My Clark Michigan 75B

    GREAT old beasts! I had one which I recently decided to sell as it was deteriorating with not having shed for it. Reliable as clockwork and never failed to make me feel good when giving it a task and it did it with grunt to spare. Simple machines to work on and no computer made it "user...

    Hough H60-D

    I don't think any Hy-tran oil will be best at all. I had one of these Hough 60 (B)'s and I found it problem-matic until I used 10w in both Trans & Hydr. What I suggest you do is phone or call into a Oil company's distribution centre and ask them to give you their recommendations. Or... what...
