- In this video, Shane and I were sent to recover a rolloff that had gotten stuck in someones front yard. We were told we didn't have a lot of room to work. We responded with our 1985 Freightliner with a Holmes 750 bed on it. AKA(The Gopher) We used the split boom to stabilize the drivers side, while we winched off the passenger side. Hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for watching, don’t forget to LIKE, COMMENT, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE this video!

Splitting and swinging booms...so old but in a way still ahead of a time. What a great design. No wonder you like it so much.
Mr Aljosa Yes sir the rotator in its day. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Only one thing better than a Holmes 750.....that's two Holmes 750s...did a lot of work with an old 750 on the back of a 1976 KW back in the day!
Now every job is a ROTATOR JOB!!
Mr Paul That was the truck in the day. Thanks for watching our channel and stay safe
love them holmes bodies! i got started by my grandad with a 1946 dodge w5 that was shop built for ideal bread company....... had a flat head 6 and purred like singer sewing machine......
Bvfdfire1 thanks for watching and stay safe
Mr Hal this one reason why I like your channel so much better. The other wrecker channels all have painted chains that look like they’ve never been used, brand new straps and 3/4 million dollar rotators they are scared to get dirty...meanwhile your snatching them out with an old rusty Freightshaker and a piece of rusty floor grate and talking about the old days.
If it keeps on raining down here y’all are gonna be mighty busy the next few weeks. Be safe and make that money!
Mr Nick thanks for that. We use what we have. Thanks for watching and stay safe
I love the heck outta that ol truck..
Reminds me of my upbringing. Neva had a new piece of equipment on the farm. It was always new to me and we made it get the job done
Mr Tony Thanks I know that feeling very well. Thanks for watching and stay safe
That is sweet I remember seeing it new when I was younger thinking it was the baddest truck. That thing can pull a house down lol Keep safe gentlemen
Mr Joseph. We will and you do the same.
Excellent video and great old iron!! Back in the days there were many wrecker manufacturers and Holmes was ' The Cat's Meow ' . You're a very respectful young man!!!
@@dp.oennismaurer205 thanks for watching our channel and stay safe
Thanks for the video of the split boom in action! Lots of work , but definitely gets the job done! Take care and Stay Safe !
Mr Brad Yes sir, she is old but still a work horse. Every time I used this truck it makes me appreciate the older tow generation that much more. Thanks for watching our videos and stay safe.
Taking it easy in retirement after 37 years as a over the road driver! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@bradsnyder-HighSprings_Fl. wow, that's a long time. Now sit back and enjoy it. Thanks for watching and stay safe.
It be great project if you guys would do a loving restoration of the old girl to keep her around at least as long as she has been by now. She has earned it twice over!!
and we your audience would surely enjoy a vlog like documentary of the process!!!!
Mr Lucas thanks when it happens I will sure try. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Got it thanks and stay safe

Still to modern day old school can still be the best way.
Mr Scott thanks for watching and stay safe
Love seeing the old iron doing what it is meant to do.
Mr William Yes sir. I couldn't find a working video of one on TH-cam. Thanks for watching and stay safe
That old truck would look awesome with a little TLC I hope it happens someday. Good recovery there.
Mr Tom It will. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Old school things is better many times! Love your videos!
Mr Ulf Thanks and thank you for watching our channel. Stay safe
I was hoping to see that wrecker setting on a stately old Mack. Your dad sounded like a good man.
Mr James he is. Thanks for watching and stay safe
You as well.
We had a flipper toggle air valve on the back of my 750 Kenworth 1975 coe, it was a duel Function nutral, and air on top of the-spring to push harder on the spring cans slack adjusters s cams, you know if you needed the brakes locked , and the other position would free up the brakes , I use that function way more to move the truck in to position when hooked up with under reach Zack, it was mounted on the drivers side at the bottom of the back of the tow bed, below the two manual winch controls , I had to some times let my booms down to get them to lock back easier, oh yes it all pays the same , loll, nice job 👍 thanks BigAl California.
Mr Al wish I had something like that. Thanks for watching and stay safe
*Damn big tow trucks have come a long way since the Holmes 750 came out. This was the super heavy rotator of it's day.*
Alilretard1 yes sir it was the truck in its day. Thanks for watching our channel and stay safe
I like the simplicity of that wrecker design.
Most motorsport thanks for watching our channel and stay safe
Old wrecker still got it
Mr David. Yes sir I th does. It really surprises a lot of people. Thanks for watching and stay safe
That was cool - thanks for the video.
A local towing outfit here used to have several of those Holmes wreckers, I think back in the late 1970's. They also had a bigger version of the Holmes, or maybe it was another brand, I don't know. It was on an Oshkosh looking truck with 2 steering axles. It might even still be in their yard.
With a good operator those Holmes trucks could do some amazing heavy work, plus they weren't so long and huge like modern recovery trucks.
Mr John thanks for watching and stay safe
@@SumterWrecker Thanks. Here's a picture of them showing off 45 years ago. Kind of like Miller does now.

Very instructive video.And as you said moms and dads doctrines often comes to use.First time for me anyway ,to see a holmes 750 in action.I imagine that we cant have many here in Finland if any.Thank you.

Hi
You and Shane made that look easy! Great team work
Chevy4x4dawg thanks and thanks for viewing. Stay safe
I started out working a wrecker with a Holmes 440 split boom! I still prefer to use it over the newer hydraulic deck crap!
Mr James Yes sir they are tough. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Great recovery 👍, nice old rig. Be safe out there.
Mr Brian thanks for viewing and stay safe
We still have an old 74 White cabover with an old Holmes split boom not sure what model but we use it on a regular basis to pull stuck farm tractors and equipment everyone around us run those huge tri axle rotator trucks and many of them won't touch stuck farm tractors and equipment because the are usually no place near a road or hard surface and they are afraid to go out in fields with their trucks. We take our old White out where others won't go, we also have and old 5 ton military tank recovery unit for when we get the old White stuck.
Mr Brown they are tough wreckers for sure. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Cut my teeth on a 750 in the early 80's taught by the old timers, Great rigs. Also ran a 850 what a animal. Most of the new school hydro guys would not know what to do with a split boom. The hydros will bypass when they get to max load, the old mechanicals will literally pull the truck apart! we use the landing mat down here in Florida but it's the more solid stuff with the holes, getting hard to find it any more. Good stuff be safe out there.
Phat Boiz I bet that 850 is a beast. Thanks for watching our channel and stay safe
Run the cables back in by hand don’t forget
Mdrailroad Yes sir thanks for watching and commenting. Stay safe
We ain't got many of them "Holmes Trees" here in Northeast Wyoming.. We do have "Holmes Stakes" (usually 3/4 or 1 inch oilfield sucker rod about 8 foot long) that get sledgehammered in the ground to tie off to
Mr Hugh I am assuming it works. I am going to look into that because sometimes you do not have a tree. Thanks for watching our channel and stay safe
@@SumterWrecker check out a channel called "Country Repair and Towing". They have an ole military wrecker they use stakes on In a couple of their videos
Mr Hugh Yes sir I follow them. For some reason their is not on you tube now. Thanks for watching and stay safe
@@SumterWrecker hmm. That's totally weird cause they just posted a new video a week er so ago.. now I can't find it in my playlist... 🤷🤷🤷
Mr Hugh the last one I saw was the excavator.
You boys got lucky pulling on that lift axle like that. Could just as easily torn it loose or twisted it.
Yeah, we don't pull from tags or pushers.
Mr Randy Thanks for watching and stay safe
Love the videos.any change of a fleet video of all the truck's
Mr RayRay It's on my list. We have been busy. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Thank you Sir for the Great video. Awesome seeing the Holmes 750 in action. Those mats Aluminum or steel? As always stay safe. God Bless.
Steel🙂
Mr Jacques They're steel Thanks for watching and stay safe out there
In Dallas tx I used 65 KW single axle Homes 750 inn1978 wiht Arm Sterring
Mr Steve I bet you got a real good work out. Thanks for your in the industry and stay safe
I know I am the only one I know that broke a ring gear on my ol 750, and it was a stupid part on my behalf, didn’t pull the lock pin out of the slide hole on the extension inter square boom, kool it’s always worth a lot more in the bill when you have to use a shovel,
And when you have a running vehicle truck that have air bags they can help you , these days air bags can lift that truck a little bit, kool nice job, way to much for my device to handle, ( another’s words I can’t stop watching) it’s running out my memory on my device, kool thanks BigAl California praise Jesus grace Christ amen.
Mr Al thanks and stay safe
This is a very good informational video. just curious though. Why did you hook up to the that wheel?
ORS365 I didn't want to bend any of the arms for the net. I don't like hooking to drop axle rims but since we had dug it out, placed landing mats and had the truck ease forward , the owner and I felt this would be ok. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Nice job brother
Mr William We appreciate that. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Good Job Gentlemen.
Mr Danny. Thanks and stay safe
The only bad thing about the Holmes was the controls were in the kill zone front and back when you split
Mr William yes sir and definitely no remote. Thanks for watching our videos and stay safe
Jamie Davis has Mighty Moe this Wrecker must be its twin brother Mighty Joe
Mr Nick I like that. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Should have put all terrain tires on that truck
Mr Toby that would help. Thanks for watching and stay safe
You want to see what a good video looks like, look at RON PRATT.
Mr Bill. Yes love Mr Ron's videos. Stay safe
Never had my boss "ask" me do you mind doing this or that. He usually said go do this or go do that... From what I have seen from your videos you are the kind of boss I always wanted to have but didn't. You show respect no matter what the situation is or who you are dealing with be it either employee or customer. Yessir you are the boss I never had...
Mr Johnny I appreciate that. Thanks for watching our channel and stay safe
Or haven’t
Mr Tom thanks for watching and stay safe
I agree 100% Johnny. You never see a boss this involved in his own company anymore. From what I have seen he is the nicest man you could meet. This man deserved my subscription.
Your newer trucks are going to be jealous of how many views the old Holmes is getting.
Mr John that is true. Thanks for watching and stay safe
It's nice seeing old rigs still putting in work this is the truck you should take JC Smith out in
Mr Michael he would probably love it. Thanks for watching and stay safe
@@SumterWrecker I know he would
Didn’t even make that Ole 750 grunt. All these folks wanting these flashy new rotators and that Holmes split boom started it all. Worked many Holmes units plus worked a military wrecker. These new operators have no idea about a 4x4 wood timber and good ole 440 Holmes.
Radio one receive yes sir Holned was the wrecker in the day. Thanks for watching and stay safe
This old school is that a 30 ton or 40 ton unit. Seen the one Jamie Davis has and refurbished it working in very coldweath er .
Holmes 750 is a rated as a 25 ton. However it is extremly under rated.
Mr Scott It is rated at 25 tons
@@dandunning4409 i do believe that's at a full drum not like the way most rate stuff on the first layer now.
Im so glad you posted this video. I have been trying to find one of a 750 in action. I have a 1982 on a Ford L9000. We are cleaning it up and getting it ready for the road. I am originally from Atlanta and Spider Wrecker had a fleet of 750s. My dad always said they were the best. In about 1980, we bought 2 from the Navy in CA, they were on junk International chassis. We drove my 1979 GMC Astro out to get them, it was summer and there was no working AC. We never re-chassised them and I guess he sold them to an operator somewhere. fast forward 10 years and we bought one from the bankruptcy of Eastern Airlines, we re-chassied that one to a GMC Brigadier and ran it all over the southeast. Fast forward to today, at 60 I am on my third career in Aberdeen WA, putting together a heavy truck towing operation with an old 750. the adventure continues. Maybe I should post videos too.
Mr Timothy I love watching the old wreckers work. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Ain't nothing like an old chain drive!
Mr David that's correct. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Great video, I run my whole business with 22 plus year old equipment. So nice to see the older equipment still in use. I think the truck was older than Shane.
Mr Ssnyder yes sir I is older than him. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Better get a waiver from the owner other property hooking to the trees replacement cost of a tree look that is about $5,000 or more I know a lot of tow companies that paid thousands of dollars hooking up the trees and ruin them you'll find out if you ripped the bark off one of them trees is going to cost you alot money thousands Been towing for 25 years . I know a towing company that paid $20,000 for two two foot poplar trees
Mr Ronnie I like that idea. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
Could you do a walk around of that truck and explain how it works?
Mr Charles it's on the list. Thanks for watching and stay safe
I ran a750 back in the early 90's. Mounted on a 1963 International cabover with a Detroit 2cycle diesel. It would move it or break it.
Mr Duane thanks for watching and stay safe
Run the cables back in by hand don’t forget
I like everything about that old holmes but not a fan of the mouse trap brake switch! 750 is on my bucket list of wreckers to own. Awesome truck and video!
Not for hire The switch needs a little tweaking or just use a 2x4. Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay safe
@@SumterWrecker yeah jam a 2x4 under the seat and drop it down 😂
there is something majestic about twin boom wreckers. thx for showing the Holmes tree and landing mat techniques.

Great job winching it out. Also nice to hear you talking about your dad and how you have remembered what he said and taught you about hard work.
Mr Riley I really appreciate what he taught. Thanks for watching our channel and stay safe
Love the holmes 750 manual wrecker body. i have seen several around here still in service. nice recovery...smooth and easy.

Mr Gunther yes sir thanks for watching and stay safe
What he’s calling a “landing mat” got its name from a WW2 invention, the Marston Mat, which were invented as a way to build landing strips for military aircraft on soft ground in a matter of hours instead of weeks. The originals were steel mats slightly narrower and twice as long as what’s shown here that were made to interlock to each other and were of a different construction, originals being made of solid steel sheets that had holes punched into them to save weight and aid in them settling on soft ground and ribs stamped in to add stability. Army units found in addition to being good for their intended purpose they also made great traction aids for wheeled vehicles on soft ground, you could lay them out in the nastiest of swampy mud or soft sand and drive trucks,trailers and jeeps right over them. After the war there was such a huge surplus Americans bought them and used them for everything from fencing to walkways to what you see these fellas doing with them. They were so popular the name “landing mat” stuck and is still used today to describe steel mats used for building roads and recovering vehicles over and on soft ground.
Mr JR My father was a farmer and he believed in these. It is amazing how they help vehicles climb out of holes. We appreciate you watching our videos and commenting. Stay safe
Best friend on a 750..grease gun. I've worked 90 thousand pound garbage trucks on there side. It works but works you. Younguns dont have a clue.
Mr Kyle thanks for watching and stay safe
I love those old trucks. My first truck was a Chevy 3500 with a homes 480 on the back, my second truck was a international with a home 750 just like that one. They don't break down like the new trucks all the computers and such. You can pull until something snaps lol.
Mr Jacob you are right they pull until something gives. The casualty or something on the wrecker. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Yall should do more videos with the 750.I passed one of yalls trucks near bishopville today in my rollback. Good recovery
Sturks We will try. Thanks and stay
I wish I could like this video more than once! Great job, I love your channel. Stay safe out there!
Steel fist We appreciate that. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Yea its good for offroad . It weighs about 2/3rds as much as those newer trucks. It is lighter by a bunch
Mr Vaughn thanks and stay safe
Nothing like the power of a fully mechanical system. They talk to you and if you understand what it’s telling you you’re a great operator.
Mr James Thanks and we appreciate you watching our videos. Stay safe
With the old equipment, we used to do a lot of shoveling to ease the load, but with much more powerful winches, digging out seems redundant
Mr Kevin yes sir Thanks for watching and stay safe
My friends own a 1.5 ton 1956 GMC with Holmes wrecker that he had modified the wrecker right winch that was at a lower gear to haul in heavier recoveries. Harold Lemay also modified the brakes for air assist for air brake action. It is stored at the family museum at Lemay Family Collection at Marymount just south of Tacoma WA.
Mr Colin thanks for watching and stay safe
cool old truck. looks like just the right tool for the job. i remember running a old mechanical oilfield winch truck that had mechanical winch on it. you had to be careful with it because it wouldn't stall out like a hydraulic winch it would just keep pulling until something broke.
Ezrider359 very very true. If you are ever slow and need a project let me know. Lol. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Did it like I would have 25 years ago when I was driving WRECKERS { AS THEY WERE CALLED BACK THEN, NOT TOW TRUCKS }. Question: Why did you not chain the outrigger back to the truck to keep it from sliding out ? That's the only thing I would have done different. And I would have used a chain around the tree because there were no tow straps available back then !!!! SOME PROGRESS IS GOOD.
Mr Terry I was wondering when someone would notice the chain. I would have realized if the truck had slipped. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Good catch Mr. Terry!
I was going to make same comment.
Surprised all these fellers claiming to have run 750 and 850's didn't catch that.
Things that make you go hummm,
@@SumterWrecker YES YOU WOULD HAVE !!!! I am amazed at the COWBOYS in towing now. Seems anyone can tow, but I took great pride in my recovery skills. I like the fact that you do the little and sometimes the big things to limit and/or not cause any additional damage to the customers vehicle be it car, truck, trailer, or cargo. That's the difference in a COWBOY and a true PROFESSIONAL OPERATOR. And as you always say, "STAY SAFE OUT THERE" ! By the way, I loved the 750, one hell of a wrecker, drove one on a twin screw Combinder in 1979 and 1980. OOPS, I JUST DATED MYSELF.
@@haroldphipps3457 Yep, when the leg went down and he pulled it out and pined it, I expected him to chain it......And I'm also surprised no one else mentioned it !!! That either shows our age or our experience or both. I don't just know which, maybe both....LOL
Mr Harold I realised when I threw the chain back up. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Man I love all the amazing content you’ve been uploading, this is awesome
Mr Steve thank you sir. We appreciate that. Stay safe

Jamie Davies would love that old tow truck. It was worth its weight in gold on that job.
Mr Ty yes sir it was. Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay safe
Love watching an old rig still in use. That old 750 is stronger than some of the trucks today if you know how to rig them. My great grandfather had a dump truck from the 1800s. It had solid steel wheels with paddles, no tires. To dump the bed you had a handle crank. Two giant gears between the bed and the cab. You had to crank the handle to raise and lower the bed.
Mr Brad that sounds like an awesome old truck. Thanks for watching our channel and stay safe

This whole video is awesome,love the old truck, the way the customer is helpful with the digging and even helped with the breakdown of the rigging, just don't see that at all. And you're showing your guys how to run this old work horse. Love it,but if you ever get to working on that Holmes,I'd just worry about the mechanical and whatnot,and not make it to Shiney 🌞🙂stay safe out there,enjoy your content,so much I had to watch twice.😊

Hi Mr Hal.
Today, 18th March 2022, you used the Holmes 750 to pull a farm tractor from a ditch. The TH-cam algorithm put this previous episode onto my feed of you using the Holmes a year ago.
I find it very poignant that you're giving credit to what you learned from your father only for him to pass within a year of this original post. In hindsight, it's a nice tribute to him, if I may be allowed to say so.
As always, kind thoughts, and good health to your family and colleagues.
Mr Colin. I didn't realize that . Everyday I appreciate what he taught me. Thanks for watching and stay safe
It looks like an old line wrecker car. Good job👍👍👍
Thanks and thanks for watching. Stay safe
Shaw field had at least one 750 that basically never got used. It got surplused some time in the mid-2000s. I don't know where it went but it was on the usual International chassis and being dark blue will be obvious. That would be one to get for a fresh 750 good for many years.
CommOut I remember seeing that truck. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Brought back memories, I used to operate a Holmes 750 on a 1975 GMC 6500 (I think) single axle. That was back in the early 80's.
Mr Rayar54 thanks for watching and stay safe
Just found this video. Cool operation. They used the Holmes split boom wrecker sets during WW11. Used on Canadian CMP 3 ton trucks as well as US made trucks.
Mr Darrell I didn't know that. Thanks for that information. Stay safe
We still run a 750 on a main work horse. However... it isn't a traditional 750 twin boom anymore. It's strictly used as a side puller. Converted to new hydraulic drives, wireless remote controls and heavy hydraulic outriggers. Also has a DTU body for towing and storage, pulls a landoll or any other trailer when the DTU is off.
Mr Jordan sounds like a cool wrecker. Thanks for watching and stay safe
The Holmes 750 was the Boss of heavy duties back in the day.
Mr Ed thanks for watching and stay safe
I love the fact when you ask your helper for a shovel for yourself that he brought one for himself as well without telling him to help you! that's a good man!
Mr John We appreciate that. Thanks for watching and stay safe
That old Holmes was similar to one we had on an 8 legger (8x4 AEC) in the UK in the late 60's.. I've just woken up from a nightmare!!!
Mr Max. Thanks for watching our channel and stay safe
It probably was and I can almost bet Max that it was bought from Bill Jackson of Internal Wrecker Sales.
Hey new to the medium duty side holmes 600..I have a question about holmes 600 right where the outriggers are there's a small spool of cable(both sides)what exactly are they and or used for. thanks
Mr Brandon That is cable that raises and lowers the boom manually. Thanks for watching and stay safe
