i am not too familar w/ the 475. it may be rare. generally the Holmes numbers were
440 single line for 1 ton
480 twin line 1 ton
500 2 ton
600 2 ton
750 HD for a twin screw
Holmes 475 was their first small Hydraulic unit -single line....the 485 was the twin line ...the 480 was the traditional twin boom...the 475/485 were quickly replaced by the 1100/1200 series.
