Hi all. Seeing all these old hymacs makes me want to restore the one I recently got. It seems in pretty decent shape for its age.
It’s got to get some work done first though.

Hi Dan that is a nice looking machine you have there, a Perkins powered 580C; the 580C is a good all round machine and relatively easy to maintain.

Re: Hymac Excavators
Here's a rare one for you; a Hymac 410 one of only 23 made this is the second one that I have actually seen and photographed.

Re: Hymac Excavators
Here's another rarer machine to find these days a Hymac 580B sorry the quality is not brilliant; I intend to go back when the chance presents itself and see if the owner will let me take some close up photos of it.

Re: Hymac Excavators
Here's a nice 610 that I came across today; looks like she still see's some use. I have been busy of recent so have not managed to get up to my machines for a while, hoping to do so on one of the upcoming Saturday's just see how things go.

Re: Hymac Excavators
I've seen on another forum that HPS (graham Richie) have stopped stocking HYmac Parts...Is there anyone else?

That is correct from what I have heard, parts are harder to come by but not impossible to get; there is still Tony Flint, and Richard Gould you can try for parts; Richard still has Hymac Parts and Service.
