Huber maintainer-anyone got one?

[Gods Country]

Anyone familiar with the old Huber Maintainers?

She's a bit of a bear to run, but she's done a lot of hard work for me.
Thanks to my FIL giving us this machine she really helped tame our lane and build an alternate 1/4 mile lane, which is now easily maintained with our SCUT.

I was leveling a piece for a pole barn in the pic.






On a side note any one know a good place to look for basic tune up parts?
Mainly ignition related.....Napa?

Nice.
That would be priceless to have if needing to maintain a gravel road. Or for leveling job like you are doing.

What is the engine? A continental?

It's been incredibly handy.
Just hope she keeps running.:thumbsup:

Haven't seen one of those for awhile. There used to be one around here back in the 80's. What kind of engine does yours have? I've seen them with Ford engines.

Several Paving companies around these parts cherish these old girls.......more of a material spreader than grader as far as toughness.....

I've rebuilt may cyls from these and 1 we modified for hyd steering from scratch.....IIRC the manual steering gearbox was junk beyond repair and obsolete......after the mods you could steer it with 1 finger....

Some folks will spend lots of money to keep them up....

Nice machine Gods Country:thumbsup:

Just realized I've never seen one with a cab.....might be great for a nice restoration project for you:thumbsup:

This tractor is pretty tough. I moved a lot of fresh earth/clay with it.
It's not a dozer, but it''ll get the job done.

It steers real easy, surprising as that may seem.

The engine has been rebuilt so hopefully it will last a few more years.

I would like to fix the cab some, and giver her a fresh paint job.

When I was a kid the guy at the end of the road had one with a 8 cylinder engine in it but it only ran on 4 cylinders and the other 4 were was an air compressor like the schramm tag a longs being ford 300 straight sixes.

Napa is your best bet
It is helpful if you get an older employee that can look stuff up in the books.
Had to get points for mine that has 4 cyl Hercules engine

I have a huber maintainer it has a ford diesel in it I'm now having problems with the steering it turns hard and it's power steering so don't know what is wrong with it steering runs off the hydraulic system. Anyone have any ideas i dond know the year but by running the numbers on the engine block it comes back a 172 ford diesel.

If you are every riding through, check out the Huber museum in Marion, Ohio. They have some of their tractors and the maintainers like yours. Side note they also have a lot of memorabilia from Marion Power Shovel.
