Tom We had several different brands of tire machines in the tire shop. If you want the old style with the post in the middle--The best longest lasting ones were FMC. They out last coats 2 or 3 to 1. Even then we wore out several of them. I do not like rim clamps for farm tires. It is easier for me to do the large tires on the older American style machines. The boss bought a new rim clamp-one of the "economical ones" from a off the wall tire equiptment place. It is about 1/4 smaller in size than the ones we had in the tire shop. Cannot do a 12X16.5 skid loader tire on it. Be sure you have enough air pressure and volume to run it. A typical 5hp farm compressor will not do it. I just reread your post--Check out the machine before you buy it, I am not sure but the rim clamp machine he bought might be an Atlas. If you do buy a coats you want a 40-40 or 40-50 or newer. The old 10-10 or 20-10 are not worth it for the number of tires you are talking about doing. Just for comparison You are talking doing 40 tires per month, that was around our daily average for years and we would get about 2 years from the new Coats machine where we got 4-5 years out of a new FMC.

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
