central sask | Had the IH DT-817 turbo, 290 hp but was turned up to about 335hp. 4.5 yard bucket. It would move a pile of snow!!!!! On firmer ground (scaled out at 58,000#)you could do whatever you wanted. Moved a few rockpiles and cleared/piled some poplar bluffs, loaded/moved gravel and dirt. Bucket was to big and no teeth for real digging. Was cool pulling out 40 foot Elms and such, roots and all and carrying them upright across the yard. A few people stopped an turned around when they saw a full grown tree moving behind the other equipment!!!
If it has the GM 4-71 its a H90B 1958-61, 162hp, 28450#
GM 6V-53 H90C 1964-69 , 164 hp, 29-33k#
I would put a value of 3-9K depending on whether the important stuff works, it runs ok and the glands/seals, rods in all the main cylinders are decent.
The Hough's were well respected by anyone who we talked to about ours, were told parts would be no problem but never needed anything but resealing lift cyl's.
It was no 988 cat but could push around a 980!!
We sold ours because it was way bigger than what we needed, bought an 18 ton Case cruze-crane to finish a few bins then sold that and looking for a large stinger or picker truck (20+ ton) for easier transport. We can hire the cat and loader work we need done for much less than upkeep on something that size/age.
