manual tire machine question

[Tim1]

For you old guys like me, I got a old coats manual tire machine. Wonder the right way to use the tool that goes in the slot on the center post and rotates. It has a 4" wheel with a lip on it that drops down about 6 inches and runs verticle and also has a small 2" wheel that runs horizontal behind the big wheel. It is used to put the tire on. Will try to figure how to post a photo of it. Thanks Tim

Stopped at a small tire shop and talked to old guy there. Told me that i was a glutten for punishment, but told me what i needed to know. Works good for me. Tim

My brother has an old Coats Manual Model 310 in his shop.

He uses it for changing tires and fixing flats on his farm machinery. I've used it a few times, but I've decided it's much easier on this old man to pay $10 and watch the tire shop guys do the work.

I've struggled with dismounting tires many times in the past, even making my own version of a bead breaker, and wished I had one of these. The instruction manual was an interesting read and had to have been written long ago. I was especially tickled to see the formula of making plastic by melting powdered sulfur to set the anchor bolts. I made plastic this way when I was a kid in the 50's.

The 310 is a lot newer than mine. Bead breaker is the same, but no screw down piece. Mine has a cone with a slot for the hold down rod that attaches to a foot lever for the hold down. I too pay for my mag wheels to be mounted, but this is for my trailers. Do not ask me how many trailers a fella needs, as my wife does. Ok, I have 6. Tim

All my experience started on the 1010 machine... a bar that went on the slot, on the center shaft... one end you put between the wheel and the bead... rolled the tire out and hooked the bar on the slot... . as you pressed the foot pedal the arm rolled around the rim and pulled it off the wheel... you than did the same thing for the lower bead...

The other end of the bar was slanted with a taper on it... you started the bead on the tapered portion of the bar and pushed the tire down past the rim... . as the power was applied... the bar rotated and pushed the bead past the end of the rim...

Hope this helps... BTW this was the mid to late 60's

I remember when we got the 1010 in the gas station-thought we were in 7th heaven with that fancy machine. Late 60'sfor that also.
