Manual Tire Changer........Finally!

[KC9KAS 4,741]

Well, I finally quit talking about it and bought one.

Ordered it today and should be delivered Thursday. I have several tires that need some attention/replacemnt, so this will make the job much easier.

I wanted one that I could use for motorcycle tires also, and this one fit the requirements.

Hopefully in the next few days you will either hear me bragging about my investment and not crying about getting screwed!

looks nice, where are you getting it from?  what did it run you?    If you mount it to a trailer hitch and bring it to the big show in PA...everyone can do their tires for a small user fee!

Funny you bought one because I just stopped by harbor freight after work today and picked up the similar one they offer. I have some tires to swap around too.

Steve you could have borrowed mine!

I have grown to appreciate how a very good tire guy can take off old tires on small tractor wheels, put on new tires, tubes and valves without making a mess our of new painted wheels and not get his hand torn up!   Ken I hope the equipment works out well for you but I am too old to start learning this tire replacement skill!
