COATS TIRE MACHINE RC-45 MOUNTING HEAD UPGRADE

I purchased this mounting head for my Coats RC-45 a few months ago. It wasn't that expensive but has saved me money and has prevented headaches. It gets the job done. Every Tire changer needs one of these. This mounting head is intended to prevent damage to customers rims caused by steel mounting heads when removing and installing tires. I will show you how I installed it, and its use. Thanks for watching

isnt there a better chance of the duckhead slipping off the rim if it has play like that?

[@rollingtreads8201]

I've had this set up since the video and have not had it slip off or cause me any problems. The first time I did install it I assumed it didn't need any play tightened up so there wasn't any movement and almost damage tires and mounting head.

Tried it with low profile tires? Is it significantly better than the stainless steel one? I’m thinking about upgrading mine.

[@rollingtreads8201]

ive removed and installed alot of low pro tires, runflats, where i thought the mounting head would break or just not do the job but since the video ive had the same one on and works way better than the steel one. It doesnt damage the rims and doesnt cut into the tire beads.

I have two ranger tire machines. They both initially came with the plastic duck head. But we've found those to be flimsy when you're prying hard against them when dealing with stiff tires. We have installed the metal duck heads that came boxed with the machines and it's much better than the plastic. Our Ranger metal duck heads do come with plastic inserts that do protect the rim. I thought i share our experience. @@rollingtreads8201

you went and purchased a quality machine, then purchased a fake aftermarket plastic duckhead. you should buy an actual coats plastic duckhead. they make 2 diff ones. one is black similar but better quality than the aftermarket one. they also make a REAL COATS light grey colored duckhead. the grey one is for aftermarket and nice oem wheels and is the better choice

The black duckhead I have has not broken since i got it and am still using it so quality is good and i use my tire changer on the daily aftermarket and oem rims. I have the light grey one which is a coats but dont like using it. Thanks for watching.
