This brings back memories from Christmas’s when I was a little kid. My dad had a 750 on a 1978 autocar with a big cam 400 9 speed and 3 aux box. We would put lights on it every year for the Christmas parade.

Mr Hal, the crank on the main winch is so you can roll cable up faster when you have alot of length out. 850 has power up and down and our oshkosh has hydraulic extension on the booms. The old iron is very versatile with the knowledge to run it!

Mr. Hal==Congrats on some ol' school basic wrecker knowledge....Very kool-teaches That young man things he never thought of....I ran both a 600 and 750 for years--the recovery jobs are just harder back then. But I have un-decked a lot of new trucks with the side booms-got a turned over forklift out of a trailer/another forklift burnt out of a railcar--yes it can be done. Slow and like you said hard manual labor Good to have a young helped.....

MERRY CHRISTMAS Mr Hal. and the Sumter crew. love those old Holmes wreckers use to run a 500 use to split the booms and come right off the mast on a heavy winch off the back 3 snatch blocks get it up on the scocth blocks it was on a long wheelbase ford f600 once the front end came off the ground the weight would start working for you. Great old truck. Would raise the booms up when using the truck sling to transfer weight to the front axle for better steering. 😊

However all the heavy duty wreckers I ever operated did not have an under reach so I had to use the angle iron and 8x8 pieces of wood and pulled a lot of front bumpers off in order to hook to the front. Great video. Note. Merry Christmas and wishing you and yours a great new year.

Still love me a Holmes swing boom, cut my teeth on those back in the early 80s 480, 500, 600, 750 and the 850 railroad retriever. Hell of a machine! still to this day with someone who knows how to work them. Not as easy as the hydros but they will still get the job done. They will pull a truck in half!!! as you said those things don't stop pulling or will flip themselves over backwards, the only safety is the operator. I didn't get to play with my first hydro till almost 1990, I still love the mechanical stuff for heavy pull outs.

The company that I ran wrecker part time for bought a 600 new in 1970. It pulled many vehicles out of deep ditches. I wonder if that extra shaft is to turn the winches by hand. One of the first wreckers I ran had a hand cranked winch with deep gear reduction. It wasn't difficult to crank but it took forever.

Thank you so much for this video Mr. Hal!!! You know the Gofer is my favorite truck! I have an old F600 with a holmes bed on it that looks exactly like the 750 but does not extend and is a bit smaller scale (may be a 600 but i’m not sure). I learn from your videos. I really appreciate you taking the time to make these! Merry Christmas & Happy New Years to you, your family, and the crew and their families!!

thanks so much for sharing i really love my Dodge 500 with the Holmes 500 on the back truck only has 50,000 miles original seat cover still on it. only thing i really need that haven't found is the Hydro-Vac power brake booster works ok i don't tow for hire and will stop ok with light loads but hopefully will find one for it soon. next thing i am going to do is recable it i installed 3/8 cables and i will brake one of those with ease if you aren't careful was pulling some logs and engine never changed tones pulled into repaired and broke it again and it was a new cable i have some 1/2'' for it i think that will solve the problem. i need to get the dementions of the scotch blocks you hook to the back of yours and build me some have been using a big truck wheel but hard to handle thanks
