[QUOTE=74 C-30;3670124]how similar is a homes 480 to a 475? my father drove a 78 k-30 with a 475, he always claimed it was a rare model and not many made, and overkill for a 1ton. they used it to haul huge motorhomes...wish i had picture of it, but heres some others from back in the day

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
