Hi Paul, There's a man in the Philippines that has a Hough loader made in 1974. He had posted
on the IH forum for a water pump for the loader.
The loader was built in Holland and it had the German 358cid engine. They used that same engine
in IH tractors and Neuss used it in some of their
tractors too. When I was looking for a water pump for it I received an email from Germany saying they had a pump for it. Some man by the name of Schlepper sent me the email and I forwarded the info to the owner. I do not think he ever bought a pump. DresserNorthAmerica in IL
still have parts for these old Hough loaders. Hal

I dont have a Hough,but its always been in the back of my mind what one would be like to have.I used to view a local salvage (junk)yard regularly as a kid where old cars (mainly Ramblers!)were crushed by a 50s Hough Payloader.It had huge 5' tongs on the bucket to lift the cars with.This was obviously a low budget operation as that old Hough was partnered with a early 60s Dodge "Power Wagon" (not the military style one)logging truck with P&H grapple.The cab of the old Dodge was caved in...obviously a car or log slipped off one day and mashed the roof and took out all the glass.The throttle on the Dodge would keep slipping and the operator would have to frequently remove himself from the picker and go to the cab and reset the hand throttle (rpm up to operate the picker's hydraulics).The Hough impressed me by its size,sheer power and durability at its age.Of course tires went flat and there were times they couldnt get it fired up,but once they did it always ran like a champ.Those old Classics and Americans (Ramblers) didnt know what hit them!

Hi Paul, We had 4 Ramblers in the family at one time. I had a 1959 Rebel station wagon that had the 250 cid V8 engine, drove it up to Canada and to Plattsburg, NY. My sister bought a 1960 Rambler American, my former brother-in-law bought
a 1959 Rambler wagon with 6 cylinder engine, he was recalled to active duty by the Air Force in 1950 and he took that car to England in 1960. I think he may have taken it to Hawaii too.
The most problems with these cars were the axle bearings wearing out and ruining the axles by spinning and undercutting the axle. They used open bearings like used on front wheels. I think I put 150K miles on mine and it still didn't use any oil, but the frame was rusting out. I had replaced the axles several times though. Hal

I think a lot of those Hough loaders were used in junk yards around here too.

I dont know why the Ramblers were junked as they usually didnt look too bad.I guess because they were considered disposable,so when they got some rust or high mileage on them they were trashed.Its amazing ...most of those Ramblers still had the owners manuals in the gloveboxes (I checked).Nowadays the OM gets thrown after the 1st owner sells.I never remember many Chryslers being crushed....most were GM or Ford..and the Ramblers.
