All my cool tools are bolted to logs standing on end. Grinder, buffer, vac pump, chop saw. I have to haul them out of my tiny shed, onto my tiny porch, use them, then stuff them back into the hole. No room for a pallet to hold a tire do-hickey.I have to use the welding table as picnic

I tried the long blade to see if I could section the tires. That was a bit unwieldy. The blade was also getting too close to the face of the rim, so I will wait for the rain to stop and switch to a much shorter blade to trim the sidewalls down. Clay inter urinas et faeces nascimur > On

Re: [MBZ] Clay's tire issues could be resolved with this

The other thing with these machines is that they are really very basic. As such, there is little need to mount them inside a garage. Any solid concrete pad should do. The weather ought not to hurt them much. If it pleases, you, paint them annually. Oil up any threads and carry on. Hey, mount it

When I bought SWMBO's 240D it had steel rims on it. Along with a set of bunts that someone had cut the tires off and left the bead on the rim. Three of the steeles had dents along the bead lip. It had fairly new rubber on them. I decided to swap the rubber to the bunts. A friend had  the HF

Alles. Some years ago, Luke gave me one of those. It works well for bead breaking and tyre removal, poorly for tyre installation. For MBZ alloy wheels and others, an old leather glove protects the finish. YMMV. Fred. Fred Moir. Lynn MA. Diesel preferred.
