    Kawasaki 95zv no articulation

    If it is like my Hough H80B, there is a separate pump just for articulating, and then if no pressure, the wheel is supposed to be able to still turn the machine (I've never tried that on my machine, because 36,000 pounds sounds like work). Do you have a hydraulic flow chart for your machine? If...

    Hough Cummins revving

    Not only that but farm quads, for the most part, retain the cab on the front of the machine.

    Hough Cummins revving

    As I understand it, the Cab forward was the result of a poll where operators were asked if they preferred the cab forward or rearward. At the time, operators preferred the cab placed forward of the center pin. And so it began.

    Try calling Precision of New Hampton. One of the forum participants got a new torque converter made for his H80 Pay Loader. Their website is: https://gopnh.com

    Hough H80B source for parts

    My Hough Pay Loader got put to work this summer doing odd jobs that went largely unrecorded. Now with the arrival of fall, my Hough came home and since I do not have a heated shop, I've scrambled to catch up with overdue maintenance as well as to continue to replace damaged or missing parts. I'm...

    Does Anybody know where to get the old Dextron II?

    Dang, I got pulled over by the spellin' police and given a spellin' B ticket. LOL That all said, the take away from this is that Dexron III IS a suitable replacement for Dexron II and WILL NOT screw up my S-700 International transmission. Meanwhile, Coaldust, who sounds like he was once in...

    Does Anybody know where to get the old Dextron II?

    Does Anybody know where to get the old Dextron II transmission fluid? I have an old 1979 Hough H80B project with a S-700 transmission, and my service book tells me to use Dextron II. I've also been told not to use newer versions of Dextron because they are "too slippery." I've been adding Case...

    no start 580K with fuel and air

    I am laughing at your hot wire story! With friends like that, who needs enemies? LOL Good tip on any equipment that gets lent out and used by friends and family. Funny story, thanks for sharing.

    This will get interesting fast since there appears to be air pressure on that valve all the time. If valve works the way you're suggesting, then my leftmost treadle pedal is screwing up. I guess I'll find out when I install the valve and the new pins and bushings onto the rear of the steering...

    Hough H80B source for parts

    Turns out that on the shifter valve for the transmission, there is a little, brass, pneumatic plunger valve that under air pressure kicks out 1" and apparently holds the transmission in gear with air supplied by one of the two treadle brake pedals. Near as I can tell (because I haven't fixed it...

    My rear steering pins and bushings are worn. Since OEM parts are drying up, I thought I'd share for the benefit of others what sizes things need to be machined to make new ones. Stock part numbers are 158773H1 for the bushings and the pin's part number is 8790344C1. I believe the front steering...

    Rob, where did you find Dex II? I haven't been able to local a dealer or distributor.

    Hough H80B source for parts

    Hey kshansen, it is leaking all the time. It is mounted atop of the transmission on the lefthand side, the leak is from directly underneath (where I can hear it, but not see it) and is leaking so excessively that my parking brake kicked on once I got rolling. I wedged in an old leather glove and...

    Hough H80B source for parts

    What appears to be an air shift solenoid on the transmission popped and was leaking air excessively but it got plugged up with an old leather glove in the field. I'll puzzle that problem out as well as the rest of the stuff yet to fix next time it comes home. Meanwhile, I got a little work out...

    H80-B

    Rob, What transmission oil did they tell you to run, or what transmission oil are you running? My best puzzling was to use generic Case Hy-Tran but the transmission was originally specked to run Dexron II. Asking because I still need to change my transmission oil and filter and have barely run...

    Help identify an oil cooler temp regulator on a DT466B

    After thinking about the mysterious, antifreeze-leaking, whatchmacallit, I decided that it must be an automatic heater that kicks on only when oil pressure is present and the temperature is low enough to kick on. Which is cool as an idling diesel in my area will freeze itself up in the winter...

    Help identify an oil cooler temp regulator on a DT466B

    If that is what it does, what would we call such a thing? I'm trying to find a replacement.
