10 Old Wheel Loaders That Just Won't Quit

Long before touchscreens, emissions systems, and onboard computers, wheel loaders were built with one goal: work hard, break little, and keep going for decades. Many of these legendary machines have survived for 50, 60, and even 80 years, still loading gravel, moving dirt, and earning a living every single day.

In this video, we explore 10 of the toughest wheel loaders ever built, including the legendary Hough Payloader, Caterpillar 966, Caterpillar 988, Caterpillar 950, Clark Michigan 175, Volvo BM LM 218, John Deere 644, Komatsu WA Series, Case W26, and the Allis-Chalmers TL-645. Discover the engineering innovations, fascinating history, and incredible durability that made these classic loaders true legends of the construction industry.

Some outlived the companies that built them. Others have been rebuilt again and again because replacing them simply wasn't worth it. These are the old wheel loaders that just refuse to quit.
