Old Hy-Hoe
Check out my last post (meant for you). The new unused Hy-Hoe bucket I spoke of is identical (except for being new), to the bucket on my old 685 B, that you can see in a pic I posted on page 10 of this forum, on Aug. 11, 2018. My memory is that it's a 42" bucket, with a 1 1/8 cubic yard, struck... -

I do have a few Hy-Hoe buckets. One is brand new (factory original), never used, with the Hy-Hoe name on the side. The rest are for Hy-Hoe but made by Nye... Sizes range from 28" to 42" Have to check for sure once the snow is gone. All but one are for 3" pins. One bucket has 2 3/4" inch holes... -

Hard to tell by the pic, but, if it's a 5000, it'll have 2 upper carrier rollers (per side). The 6000 has 3. Looks like a 5000TT -

Do you have cables or straight linkage going to the spool? I've resolved some sticking issues, that give the illusion of a detent, by servicing these. Also, be it pedal control or lever, there are the bushings on the shaft below the cab floor, including lack of grease. A bur in the mating pieces... -

Always thought that would be a great idea. I'm hoping to have the time over the winter to copy & upload some of that stuff. Way better for history to be out there & not in a musty old box. I compact way too many boxes of peoples memories/history's at the local landfill site & hate the idea of... -

Wish I could help you, but I'd be shooting blanks! Anybody's guess at this vintage. Probably 1968-70? There is a book, with specs/serial #'s I've seen, but I wouldn't know how to source it. I know it existed, (i was too cheap to buy it at the time) but the only two parts guys I knew, that had... -

The year they were in that streetcar barn was 1962. The book says; the first Hy Hoe (Model 380) was designed & produced in 1957 by Elmer Mrozek -
Old Hy-Hoe
I'm stumped. I looked at some of the old manuals & sales stuff & couldn't see that set up. Must have been for a hammer. I checked out the info. on the Hy Hoe hammer (Hy Hit 9000), but they didn't show the valving, though there is a return line. Be nice to have an old hyd. guy to check it out... -

The position of the plunger definitely doesn't look right. It looks engaged & the linkage is on too much of an angle for the clevis or turnbuckle to be mounted that way. Unless it has very short travel, but that doesn't make sense, flow wise. Is there a cap at the back end of the valve body, on... -

You're right! The 685, along with most of the Hy Hoe line (not the 6000), usually came with an auxiliary hydraulic circuit (minus the plumbing) available to plumb in to. It was in the swing valve circuit. There are 3 plungers in the swing valve. The outer plunger is for the swing circuit to the... -

Thanks hammerdwn! We love the old Hy Hoe here. I used to bug the kids when they were little & they'd be asking asking for a bedtime story & I'd read them stuff from the old Hy Hoe sales brochures about how a Hy Hoe can out trench a cable hoe or some of the semi hydraulic hoes. Like the old steam... -

My cover pi (avatar) is my 5000TT. I'll see if I can upload another pic of it working. -

Hey td! Just looked at the filter #'s that I use. They are Wix filters, # 51434. Each canister takes 2 filters. I've had really good luck with these ones. Checked my 6000TT to make sure (getting older & way too much iron to remember lol) on the filter system. It has 3. One for each circuit... -
Old Hy-Hoe
Forgot to mention, you can always upgrade to spin on filters, but it's hardly worth it. I did convert the engine oil & fuel fitlers to spin on canisters. They get changed more frequently, so it was worth it. The maintenance time for the hyd. filters is longer, so it's hardly worth the conversion. -
Old Hy-Hoe
The earlier hoes had only 1 canister. They are the return hydraulic filters. Some had 3 for all 3 pumps (hydraulic circuits), but most had 2. There may be one more canister/tank there. It is an air tank for the brakes & hydraulic assist, if so equipped. The canisters should have 2 filters in... -

Hi Bunner I'm not sure if I still have the manual for the 3300TT, but I do have the original sales brochure. I wouldn't try to upload it on my rural dial-up connection, but when I have the time I'd be glad to copy and mail it to you. I still have some parts that would fit your 3300. A few... -

Hello Richard. Sorry I haven't responded to your post till now. I've been out of the country and just saw your post today. If you're still interested in that 685B Hy-Hoe of mine, I'd be interested in talking with you. It's been on a job while I've been gone, so I'll be going to the site to sort... -

Hi Mike. Saw your post. The year of the machine should be in the serial #. The specs. I have for the 480 are: Weight - 19,600 pounds, rating is a 1/2 cubic yard to 1 yd. for loading. Mostly sold 1968-70. Engine was Det. 353. There was little or no shrouding over components at rear. The 485 came...
