Mounting new tires with an antique Coats 40-40a tire machine

[@noelhenderson8095]

these are an awesome machine I used 1 for over 17 years fitting tyres and recently I had just bought one for home I can use this machine with my eyes closed and change a tire and under a minute even though they may be old these things were built to last

[@the710experiment84]

We've been using this machine since my dad bought it used in 1997, and it's never failed him or I even once.

[@ڤؤادالجويري]

Sir , have you ever refill the machine's oil !??

[@moparnut6286]

Great machine I have the 40-40 SA back up for my rim clamp

[@the710experiment84]

It's served us well for almost 30 years, and it wasn't until recently that we even though about upgrading to a rim clamp machine. Up until last year none of my immediate family had any cars with 18" or larger wheels, but now we've got 4 cars/trucks with 18" wheels.

[@treeguyable]

Lost count of how many hundreds of tires I did with a 40 40. Built like a tank, never saw it go down.

[@davidgold5961]

2:30 The machine will do that first part for you, unless you really love getting some exercise!

[@the710experiment84]

Yeah, sometimes I just like to see if I can still do the first bead by hand... 😅

[@donstone4349]

Where can I buy the plastic cover for the end of the dismount bar?!Would have saved a few rims back in the day. Thanks for sharing

[@the710experiment84]

I'm glad you liked the video. I got them off of Amazon by searching for tire machine wheel protectors.

[@robertreeve310]

Not much point in using rim protection if you’re going to drag the wheel weights around the rim 😢 always take weights off while you’re waiting for air to come out

[@trainman071]

a friend of mine now a retired shop owner has this same exact machine I have used it a couple of times the damn thing still works

[@the710experiment84]

They’re great for old steel wheels and smaller aluminum wheels!

Any chance you know how big of a tire that machine can handle , looking to be able to do 33s or 35s

[@the710experiment84]

Dad changes the 16" rollback tires that are almost 34" tall and there seems to be more room to go a little bigger.

[@HunterDixon-p4t]

Thank you very much!

[@the710experiment84]

You're very welcome! And if you're not already subscribed I'd very much appreciate it if you will!

[@chriswitter7075]

What is maximum rim size you can do

[@the710experiment84]

16" aluminum and 17" steel is what the manual says is the max size.

Where did you get the plastic protector cover for the lever? I can’t find them anywhere thanks in advance

[@the710experiment84]

I got them from Amazon. Here's a link to the ones I bought. Combo Booties Kit Rim Savers Fits Coats* Tire Changer Machine a.co/d/cbBFMR0

[@matthewking2834]

Awesome thank you! I just subscribed, I just read through the comments and noticed many people already asked you that so sorry for the repetitiveness with that. What modifications do you have to do for this machine to do up to 20” wheels? Thanks again!

[@the710experiment84]

Thanks for subscribing! It's no problem getting the link really. Sometimes the links expire. For this machine it won't do more than a 16" aluminum wheel or 17" steel wheel. I've read you can modify them to do a little bit bigger wheel but it's major modifications that limit the smaller size wheels and aren't easily reversible, so I never really dug deep into what it would take to do it.

Mui buenos días me gustaría saber cómo es el citema de la makina por qué compre una pero es ta desar mada hikiciera po der la armar para poder trabajar con ella le a grades mucho de antemano gracias

[@the710experiment84]

Unfortunately I can't really help becauseI'venever taken the machine apart.. I did few Google searches I couldn't find an assembly diagrams to help you reassemble your machine.

[@syfr]

Antique? Not much has changed in the tire changing world.

[@the710experiment84]

That particular machine is pushing 60 years old, so it's definitely an antique. 🤣

[@nigelssurfshop]

Picked up same tire machine yesterday , never changed a tire in my life, thanks to you I feel like a pro! P.S. Maybe less talking in future vids.

[@km-fk5lm]

Maybe less talking in future vids. That is funny. I didn't really notice he never said a word. Hahaha

i think it will take them either 15 inch or 16 inch i dont think it will any thing bigger than 16 inch

[@jeffreyhickman3871]

This takes me back to my childhood when I was 8. I and my stepmother went in to town to get a blown out tire taken off of the rim. After this, we were going to burn 🔥 the tire, but we never 👎 did. This video has GREAT 👍 sound through headphones 🎧. It’s like 👍 stereo, since it’s so clear. No music 🎶 to take away from the great 😌 sounds. Your friend, Jeff. Keep up ⬆️ the GREAT 👍 videos.

[@trainman071]

wow, i still love listening to this machine its works so good!

[@scottgilliam7524]

How much air pressure do those tire machines use?

[@the710experiment84]

I run it and everything else in the shop at 90psi

[@jeremybroeker4259]

Where can you find those plastic pieces for aluminum rims?

I got them from a local tire shop, but I’m sure you can get them on Amazon or eBay.

Is this machine for sale how much? And where are you located? Thank you

Unfortunately it's not my tire machine to sell. I just get to use it when I need to.

I’ve only ever used this style tire machine. One day I’d like to get a rim clamp machine.

I've been doing my own tires for 20 years and never balanced them.never had a problem

[@the710experiment84]

Nice I haven't been lucky enough to skip balancing mine.

No. 17" steel wheels, or 16" mag/aluminum wheels the max size limits of this machine according to the manual.

[@reachingforthesky5358]

Started with a 10/10, moved up to the 40/50 and used an FMC 7600 towards the end of our shop. I preferred the FMC as it was easier on the aluminum wheels.

[@the710experiment84]

I've seen the FMC machines but never had the chance to use one before. With all the vehicles going to 18 inch and larger wheels I feel getting a run flat machine is in my near future.

[@ڤؤادالجويري]

My machine is broken,do u know how many litters of oil should i fill the comparison,and which kind of oil,thnx

[@the710experiment84]

Unfortunately I don't know about that. Our tire machine is only pneumatic operated.

[@brewcrew5854]

got 2 of these and been using since early 80s .cant do runflats - bead blaster is not available on a lot of new equipment

[@the710experiment84]

Man that built-in bead blaster is a real life saver sometimes!

[@jeffhutjens]

I have that same machine. There is a lever under the top bead breaker that can go forward or back. What does it do please ?

[@the710experiment84]

I had to look it up in the user manual. That knob is the "Detent Control Knob - Controls the amount of travel of the lower bead loosener to prevent damage to large diameter narrow wheels and reverse mount wheels." Thanks for subscribing! I've used this machine since I was about 10 years old, and have never used that knob.

[@w.tranbarger1727]

Where did you get those plastic tool cover you place over the dismount tool at 1:22 in the video? They look perfect for aluminum wheels.

[@the710experiment84]

I found them on Amazon by searching "tire machine tool wheel protector"

[@w.tranbarger1727]

Very helpful video for using the Coats 40-40. I acquired one in good working order and hope to demount some old tires and mount new tires on older 15" steel rims in the near future. But most of my rims are not steel and it looks like it may be possible to use this machine with them if proper precautions are taken. Your video, one of the best I've found on the 40-40, will help me greatly - thanks.

[@the710experiment84]

Personally I know it really does work great on 12"-16" aluminum wheels. Even without the protective sleeve it doesn't do any real damage if you're careful. I believe it will actually change 10"-17" steel wheels, but the biggest aluminum wheel you can do is 16" without modifications to the machine.

[@shannonbradley963]

I am considering buying an old center post machine like this. Have you had good luck changing tires on aluminum rims without scratching or other problems? This video appeared to be very successful using the plastic gaurds . have you changed tires on like new wheels and etc with this machine? thanks!

[@the710experiment84]

Yes it does very well for aluminum wheels from 12" wheels up to 16" wheels, and with the plastic protectors you'll not scratch a wheel being careful. It doesn't matter if the wheel is new or used it's a great machine!

@@krashdown102 from what research I've done it says it's not a good idea to do over a 16.5 steel truck wheels without modifying the machines bead breaker arms. Personally I haven't tried bigger wheels. I have done tires on 16" aluminum truck and car wheels, and the lower profile car tires are pretty difficult to do.
