Turbo4whl Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I'm not sure why I had to have this 330, but over 40 years ago I had a 220. Looks like it hasn't moved in years, but I think I can get the rust freed up. The 220 was a hand crank only. This 330 can be used with a crank, or with a chain drive PTO. The unit has no crank handle so I guess I'll have to make one, unless someone has a Holmes crank handle they want to sell. Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 What is serial # on the unit you picked up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The previous owner power sanded or brushed the paint off the ID plate. If the bottom most number is the serial number, very hard to read is: VT2-717 Can you date this unit from the serial number?

Alex Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 The V identifies it as a 330 the T2 should indicate month and year of build but they do not match with build number so you may not be able to read them properly. And the 717 is the build number. The 330 was built from 1953 until 1965. Yours is likely about 1955 I have seen a serial # of 1190 built in 1956 Ours is serial #VI3-1584...shipped in 1963 ;last unit was serial #1654 in 1965. I saw the listing for the one you bought but the shipping cost was too high to get it out west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo4whl Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 Thank you for the information. Do you have any printed literature on the 330? Now all I have to do is find a period correct truck to install it in. Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither had a picture of the crank handle. I was hoping to make the crank look like an original. Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo4whl Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 So I found the truck to mount the Holmes 330 on. 1956 3800 (1 ton). Like the old Holmes unit this truck needs work too, but it is very original. Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
