Machine for installing tires on rims - GIF

[PJs]

Funny, back in the day when I was turning a wrench and had to change tires once in a while I got pretty good and fast at it so I could get back to wrenching and making money. The guys in the shop kept bugging me to race "Tommy Tire" (fastest guy around). Finally did and beat Master Tommy Tire in a race with 4 365R70 x 17 4x4 tires...off the vehicle, dismount, mount, balance, back on the vehicle. Takes a lot out of you tossing those moose's around and not even sure they make them that big anymore! That was back when people jacked up their 4x4's so tall you needed a step stool to get in or work under the hood...and didn't have a scratch on them...never seen dirt...more money than sense.

Wonder if shops now days could afford this setup!

Thanks Jon!
