I found a 1950's Bissman tire changing machine and had to have it. I have to restore it but having a tire machine is well worth the $300 .

@@FreedomFarmsMo Very cool! Thank you for the advice. I am recovering from getting run over on my 1957 Harley Panhead by a Ford F350 but I am almost back on my feet and able to start making videos. Thanks again my friend. Great inspiration.
@@FreedomFarmsMo Thank you! It has been a tough road back.

I have been blessed with having only one set of tires I had to pay to have someone else mount on my rims. I've had access to a tire changer since my 1st job in 1977. The gas station had a Coats 20 20, then a couple of years later they got a Coats 40 40A (much like your 40 50A) WOW what a difference it made. Coats offer 'rim protectors' for the dismount arm to be used on aluminum and chrome wheels and I've done LOTS of aluminum wheels with mine. You got a very good deal on the price.
I am a little late to the party or should say thread/video but I brought a coats 20-20 at an auction for $600 over 30 years ago and still use it. It was well worth it. I am also out in the country and I just order my tires online and mount my own. being a scrapper too and owning a car collection it gets lots of use. at first I wonder if it was worth it but after learning how to use it correctly it turned out to be a great machine/tool.
I have fitted many thousands of tyres with this machine and I have to admit it is awesome hardly anything ever goes wrong with it I recently bought mine for home use because I live rural and I got sick and tired of having to drive for ages to get my tire repaired anyway to cut the long story short I had 5 punctures in a month and it paid for the machine so I went out and bought an electric machine as well as a wheel balancer so now I can do everything that a tyre shop can do it doesn't cost me anymore
I love that machine the 4040a took care of us sounds like we're in a similar situation as you being rural and wasting time having to go somewhere to get tire repaired. We actually bought an RC 15a about a month after we bought this. I was able to sell the 4040a for the same price I paid for the rc15a so I'm still only $300 into this venture. I have not got a balance machine yet but it is on the thought list
I have the same exact tire machine bought it for $250 it's worth every penny I also have a Hoffman Monty rim clamp paid $500 for it it's worth every penny... It really is good when you can service your own machines both machines can be repaired easily and were built at a time when they where meant to last.... And even more in a home shop.
Na pewno warto , kół w gospodarstwie jest mnóstwo :) w styczniu naprawiałem w kosiarce prawe koło nałożyłem używkę roczną samochodową o nośności 1050 kg jak na razie przejechała 40 km zobaczymy co dalej :).
Bought a 40-40SA like new today for a 100.00 bill. In our area it's about 25.00 to fix a flat. We have over 100 tires on out farm. It was a no brainer.
THATS A good tire machine you will be glad you bought . if the center cone is not tight you will bend the wheel. you need to use lube to help the tire go on and off the wheel. you dont need the top breakdown arm on the tire when dismounting or mounting. go to the local tire store and ask the guy in back for some helpful tips im sure he will have a few to help you out. im in cedar hill mo and i change tires everyday
I have an old coats 10 10 in my shop I only use it on steel wheels. Don’t dare to try it on the newer wheels. I live in a small town there’s only one place to get a flat fixed and he charges by what size your wheel is . If you have to have a flat fixed and the wheel is a 16 inch the flat repair is going to be 16 dollars and so on.
Thank for the video. I’m looking at one now. How hard was it to move? Guess I’d need dolly’s and ramps right? Not two guys lifting into the back of my truck? Hope you look at this soon. I have to make a move. Guys trying to empty his dads garage
A dolly and ramps would work but so would two fellas that should lift 150 lbs each to put it in the back of the truck. It isn't terribly heavy probably 200 lbs but it is a little awkward
@@FreedomFarmsMo just to add to this. I asked my buddy about this too. And he told me don’t buy that one, you can have mine for free. I’m a lucky guy. Again thanks for your help. BTW the other guys on RUclips I asked never got back to me, so you’re considerate and I thank you.
@brudug713 that's awesome! You sure are a lucky fella! We our best to answer each comment, unless it's a scammer/spammer at least. Thank you for the comment and thank you for watching too! Have a blessed day and hope you enjoy the new-to-you tire machine.
To often, Farmers are at risk of losing or wasting "$$time$$", because they are not aware of their options! 1. Never operate a piece of farm equipment without an assembled spare tire & wheel, on hand! Every piece of equipment needs an assembled tire/wheel! After you finish your plowing, throw the flat tire onto your tire changer, replace or repair your flat tire and or tube! Then your spare tire is always ready to be used; that includes, every tire/wheel assembly for every style of wheel for every piece of equipment! Good Luck! STP.
@@FreedomFarmsMo I am/was an Independent Goodyear Dealer! Later on, I also contracted with KBR in Iraq; where, Every spare tire for every piece of equipment was stored in a lot, for quick access, towards the 800 pieces of vehicles-equipment! TIRE ONE
I would say no, it was a bit of a struggle to do 17" wheels with it but I suppose if you were really determined you could. I have never tried an 18" on it though
Over the weekend, I tried the 18".You have to shim it out. And take the bottom big arm off. But it worked out great I still watched it so I wouldn't catch the rim on the bottom. I was really scared on the first tire
For farm use where you are changing virtually nothing but 14”-16” steel wheel stuff that’s probably more than fine. Probably not worth even balancing the stuff you’re doing. For anyone else…. This machine would not be worth it. There’s a high risk of messing up your alloy wheel, and these type of machines usually don’t work with the common rim diameters of today’s vehicles
@@FreedomFarmsMo 20 gallon compressors ain't be having but maybe 5 or 7 cfm. Plus, it'd be zapped empty each time you hit a function on that tire machine and would run solid trying to catch up, and never will catch up until you quit for a while.

May make a bar, like that one, which twists around the shaft, removing the tire.....AND, YOU NEVER USED ANY LUBE / SOAPY WATER.....GOOD MAN !
I thought it was a good investment. We actually upgraded to an rc15a and sold this one to pay for it so we are still only $300 invested in the new one. Good luck on your build and glad you enjoyed the video
@@FreedomFarmsMothough it's not a non contact changer, the price is right especially given your situation and the space available for it there. Definitely worthwhile purchase👍
I've got a lot of time on this machine, you better hold that spoon down while turning it, one day it's going to fly off and get you right between the eyes. Don't ask how I know....
Man, this is a scary video.... Nice score on a still useful machine, and do I appreciate that you went through the effort to make this video; but dude, take the time to learn how to safely operate this machine! Watch other videos and learn how to properly mount tires on a center post machine before you seriously hurt yourself. At 7:45, you almost got smacked in the head! This machine can maim you quicker than you can blink if you let it. The hooked end of that lever should never be inside the tire when putting the lower bead on...at 6:00 that was crazy and unnecessary....at 6:30 what was that bar there for? I used a very similar AAMCO 660 center post tire machine hundreds of times at my last job; and I never did, nor felt the need to, do half the dangerous moves you made in this 10 minute video. So please, for your own safety, learn how to use this machine properly.
It's true but I mark it because it helps me also reference on the rim and tire if there is something protruded through from the rim or the tire to puncture the tube
@@FreedomFarmsMo i do exactly the same thing I marked a tire because if you do happen to have a tube in it when you find the hole in the tube it is so easy just to line the tube up to the mark on the tyre and you have a rough idea where the puncture was
Is it worth it? I say NO. Tire irons take up less space. Proper technique with tire irons and tire hammer can be just as fast as the machine. Plus tire irons are inexpensive and don't require maintenance. No frustrating down time with tire irons. Tires on tractor trailer and other big rigs are done manually. ...and fast... A tire changing machine is good for a business that changes car tires all day. The machine is good visual for the consumer that is lead to believe that specialized equipment is needed for changing car tires. Only 2 things needed: 1) Method for breaking the bead. ....a tire hammer will do. 2) Tire irons.
Someone that is expedient with tire irons could absolutely use them and be faster than a machine. It takes less time for me to use a machine by a longshot. Valid point though
@@FreedomFarmsMo It was difficult when I first started, but now I got the hang of it. It's more about proper technique than muscle. I had a friend that came from a family that owned a tire shop. He always told me to buy the cheapest tires online and install them by hand using simple inexpensive tools. He was right. First I started doing my motorcycle tires and now I'm replacing car tires. Its fun and it saves money.....Its no fun waiting in a tire shop.

I need you help do you think a 20.gallons it make machine not work properly?
I don't really understand your question
Need more air, 60 will work.
20 gallons is simply the capacity for storage. The psi and cfm is far more important. If you have at least 100 psi I think you'd be fine

Como puedo reponer aceite, pues c rompió una manguera y se tiró aceite y ahora no travaja, bien?
Oil should only be in the gear box. It shouldn't be on the lines I don't believe. Those lines should be for air only. The machine is operated by air
