I found myself buying my own tire machine combo because of the really bad service. My rims where being scratched and so on. Y got the 988 and I love it. Just doing my own tires has paid for this machine several times and my rims don’t get scratched. Very nice video. Thanks

Not bad for $1300 new. I bought a used Corghi for more and it has all the functions yours has, but the Corghi has the pedals in the correct order and also the bead breaker is adjustable for wide or narrow rims. I live on a farm with various tractors, trucks and such and added up over 100 tires that I have to keep air in. Once you have one of these machines, you can't live without it.
@behindthebarnreallife10644 жыл бұрын
Oby-1 this definitely isn’t a Corghi but it’s awesome for us. I did look at the pedal and it’s an easy fix if I just take the time to do it. But you are absolutely correct on the farm this is an absolute must have. I would be lost without it.

i know its obvious, but i would remove the spring from bead breaker and bend the rod out so you don’t crush your hand . and then swap the pedals around . i always modify all my machines to suit my own work style, and thankfully rarely have problems doing so
@behindthebarnreallife10644 жыл бұрын
Andrew Norman that’s exactly what I plan to do. With the exception of bending the handle. The only time the handle will smash your hands is when your doing 35’s or fat tires. With the handle bent out it gets too far away for me to reach comfortably. I like to hear any ideas that might make my life easier. Thanks for watching.

Engineers say the beads cannot work. Likely most tires now are made very close to balance, along with rims. If beads work, then may as well use slime and have it fill the holes too.
@stalehunter4 жыл бұрын
I know this is an old post but there is nothing wrong with the gauge. it will only read tire pressure when you let off the pedal. when you are putting air in the tire the gauge reads the incoming pressure. Also all you need to do is just hit the blaster real quick to blow the tire to the beads and then just hold the it to fill.. easy peasy...

Doesn’t look like a bad machine for the money. I purchased a Rim Clamp Machine from Harbor Freight 14 years ago for $1000 without the Bead Blaster. I didn’t care being I had a portable Bead Blaster that I used with a old 10/10 Coats Machine I owned for years. My HF machine came equipped with a round table that is perfect for the machine. I use plain Joy Liquid Dish Detergent mixed with water in a spray bottle to lube the bead for mounting and demounting and it works well. Never heard about the BB’s trick to balancing before. Good video. I don’t think you went wrong for the money. One other thing I had a hard time trying to demount a runflat tire with my machine from a C5 Corvette. Was able to demount it but it was a bear to do and I gouged the stock rim a little so I gave up on doing anymore runflats again. Have you done any Runflats yet? Just curious. Oh by the way you can easily pass for John Belushi’s brother you look so much like him to me with the beard.

Behind the barn real life I am still using my Harbor Freight Rim Clamp Tire Machine similar to yours as I mentioned above. It was built to last with the electric table. Everything else is air operated. The only thing I had to replace were some clear air hoses under the table that dry rotted over those 14 years or more that I have had it sitting out in my Pole Barn. You will know when they start to leak. I purchased similar plastic hose from the Home Depo that worked well. Amazon carries a better product type of hose that I purchased afterwards but the hose from Home Depot is still working fine for how much I use the machine anymore so there was no need to change it out yet. You can’t beat having your own machine. One of the best tools I ever owned which saved me a lot of money and time over many years. Had my old 10/10 Coats tire machine which was all air operated since the early 90’s. I only paid a couple hundred dollars for it but today you really need a Rim Clamp Tire Machine to do most wheels without damaging them. I sold it and used that money to upgrade to the rim clamp machine. Maybe you will have better luck with runflat tires then I did. I never want to do another with my machine. If you ever do them you may need a 2nd person around with a 2nd tire iron in order to do it. That is why the newer more expensive tire machines have all of those extra arms and different adapters and what have you on them today. You really need it to do runflats.
