well i made this maybe 8 months ago! was gonna do a vid of it when i got it all buttoned up and pc'ed, but with the recent threads on tire changing being a hot topic, i couldnt hold out. wanted to share it with those who might appreciate it. I cant take credit for the design, these types have been around in some form or another. everything used was salvaged from the parts bins at work. the plate and round stock my dad gave me compliments of NYS!! the plastic cones and rim lock i did buy from the guy who produced a version for sale. i designed mine off of what i saw on his website tirestripper.com. if i had a lathe i could have made some cones. and the lock is simple enough to make i just couldnt find material thick enough and he was willing to sell me one. here's the process with pics as we go......
the base- center post is from a universal weight machine that was crushed when a tree fell on my dads garage! bolted through the bottom. tabs welded to base to hold the 3 unistrut legs.
9" 350x rim installed with small cone and piece imade to tighten it out of a pipe nipple and union. would like to improve this piece, but it works! large cone is for larger hub openings. 25 yr old original tire!!
the breaker bar- its 1 1/4 round stock. i had a thinner one originally, and the first oem tire i tried it bent. rigid couplings and some angle i cut up and ground to shape make up the head. the welds arnt the best, but i have very little expierience, this was by far the most welding ive done. some arnt burnt in far enough, but its held fine.
i have a schedule 80 pvc coupling pressed inside the rigid coupling for smooth rotation!!
and then........
