Cheap Tire Changer 560 Mounting Machine Unboxing, Test, and Review 

👍 just got myself one and didnt feel like reading the instructions. Thanks for the video

Now I know what I want for Christmas.

Good review! Just purchased this same combo from eBay to mount and balance my race tires.

It is a good idea to remove the wheel weights first.

I like your trademark logo. I have been doing tires since 1983.

Tim, I love the direction you are going, every episode has something interesting and wonderful to watch. I think you should do a vlog about yourself. Would be interesting to know where you come from and what else you do. keep it up.

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

The mounting machine (only) cost around $850, divided by $60 (average cost to get 4 tires mounted) is 14. Fourteen sets of tires and the machine is paid in full. Not bad if you have a lot of cars at home and you are machanically inclined. Thanks for the review!

Easy instructions, thank you!

i have never seen a double bratwurst on one bun ... nice !

Great review, What size rims/tires? 15" yes 18" 20" Rims?

Awesome...Thanks for the video . I ordered these and they are sending to my local freight. I have a f250 Ford . Do you think both will fit in the bed to bring home . Thanks

I highly recommend to use mustard on the hotdog 🌭! Lots of keyboard mechanics here. Good review and your shop is excellent!

My exact rim (RPF1), needed one of these changer to get a 45 sidewall on, it was impossible with a manual changer!

Dude that’s a great video review & an awesome double hotdog. I’m going to break mine in with a double dog also when it arrives.

I had to exit right after I saw the double glizzy Goliath🤣🤣

Hi Sir. Can this machine be operational for professional purpose? Or it is unable to handle too much daily work. Thanks

That was a good video !!! I think I'm gonna get me one of those !!!

Could this be used for motorcycle tires or strictly cars and trucks

I got one, pretty old, not bad, outside in my carport. Works great, paid about 130 bucks.

For the money and us occasionall users this looks like the mutts nuts,,and great down to earth video

Do you think 12 gallons tank can inflate flat 21 inch tire and get it on the rim after tire change ? If i just prefill air tank with any compressor and run cheapest tire changer machine from 8 bar air tank

Doses the machine have air constantly being released. My machine has a Valve you can hear constantly air being released from.

Gotta love the random hot dog

Thank you for mentioning the yellow dot needing to align with the valve stem. I saw a red dot on that tire as well. I know that the color of each has a specific meaning and purpose. I think all tire installers that don’t take the time to align the painted dots with the valve stems should be given time off without pay. I’ve often wondered if the hideous cluster of weights on a lot of my wheels would have been necessary if the installer had taken 15 seconds to align the dot with the valve stem. Congrats on the purchase of your tire installer. It’s awesome when you can do something yourself and don’t have to worry about some careless dufus boogering up your stuff.

I really like this machine.

Gr8 video. I loved the balancer vid as well. I have a tire machine and a big old balancer. I don't have space for the balancer so was toying about a cheepy one that takes up less space. We can get these cheap ones in the UK. They seem to work ok. One thing I would say, is be careful about spraying soapy water inside the wheel. It will be there for ever and corrode your rim by the time you need a new tire.

Thanks for the video.

You may have covered this while I missed it. Isn't the second air module an inline oiler? And, what if you lift on the table rotation pedal?

Brilliant thank you, would this be suitable to do Motorcycles wheels as well as cars?

Is this transportable by a hand-dolly or hand trucks? I know the 560 machine weighs about 444 pounds in total. I would have to transport this to my backyard..

What's your long term opinion of these thanks

Nice machine, one word advice for next time, start the bead buster before all the air is out. It will help force the tire off the bead

Best advice I’ve been using for years, don’t work the tool… let the tool work for you!!

Will this work with motorcycle rims too ?

iv always thought about getting one..after watching your video.i will defently get one now

What is the biggest size tire this machine will accept? Will it do tires for a lifted truck (~35") or will it really only work with smaller car tires?

Did you order it off ebay.how much was it an do you have a link

Thanks Bigman.

I know the alloy wheel had an odd shape inside rim but if possible it's best to clamp the wheel from the inside rather than from the outside on the rim. Two reasons, scratching the rim and possibly cracking the rim - learnt the hard way 😋

Did you test the balancer as well if you have a video of that

Nice machine

I bought the cheap tire machine and balancer combo myself...they look exactly like the one in the video. Question: When I balance a tire, my machine shows me results in grams. Has anyone figured out how to change this feature to oz. The instructions suck.

Nice video

Can u take off 22"

Great size

Still have it? How's is it going anything brake?

11:06 DUCKBILL also lube helps get the old rubber off too

16:12 too many dogs man haha

Nice video but i just lmao when he said , this pedal turns in this way and this other one in the same way hahahaha

I balance the wheel by itself to verify stem is indeed the heaviest. Not always the case!

is this able to use for motorcycle tire?

The Double Barrel Brat is the Bomb! Less terrible White bread. I'm looking into buying a machine, this or twin Busch. For home tires on my new powder coated rims, Shops keep scratching my S up. I 'm done with them. I saw a guy in Poland make one of these machines on YT.

Did you ever hanve any issue with the arm that drops down to stretch the bead scratch any wheels? Does it work on motorcycle wheels too?

Oh baby a triple!

988 Tire Changer (950 with 2 helper arms) Deliveries require a forklift to unload OR pay for Residential delivery + $150 For clarification the 560 is the smaller unit up to about 18” rims has the square tube rear upright and requires assembly of the bead breaker. The 950 is the larger up to 22” rims, has the “Bead Blaster” and main rear upright is a round cylinder air tank. There's also the options of the 2 helper arms the #232 unit making the #988 unit and the other 300 with the black additional upright with 2 arms on it with a disk, the #300 unit making the #960. The Mayflower 988/680 pair can fit tight in a space about 80” wide IF the Balancer is turned sideways so shaft is out facing you. Other arm options will need more space. The 988 (950 changer with 2 extra arms) is about 45” deep. I used casters on the 988(950+ extras), Harbor Freight #62276 3” locking 100lb. NEED (QTY 8) regular 1/2”-20 nuts (ORDER or get at a regular hardware store. Home stores don't stock them but can order some). Unit is at or over the max weight of the casters so user beware. Remove rubber foot on bottom, just pops out. Install 1 nut all the way down on caster then insert up through hole and install 2nd. Caster shaft needs a spacer so could use 1/2” flat washers too instead of the first nut. Foot bracket is upside down U channel. 1 Upgrade I added was a 1/4” NPT street elbow to the main airline input on the regulator after removing the factory Japanese style fitting the US doesn't use. That allows the air hose to hang down when connected instead of straight out the back. Then used a 1/4” male NPT to 3/8” hose barb to a 6' section of hose for a whip to move the connection out where it's convenient. That way it's easy to connect when using. Then I added a 1/4” NPT quarter turn valve so machine can be disconnected without losing all air pressure in case air supply line is needed etc. Another upgrade I did was added a higher volume airline. The “Bead Blaster” is almost a joke and SLOW. If you see the size of airline and the regulator it runs through you'll understand. I've seen a few add a line at the Regulator. That technically does work but doesn't have the flow capacity I desired. So I added a line to the tank(rear upright). Remove the included Tee for the gauge. Tank bung is 1/4” NPT so I used a Milton s-646 1/4” NPT Hex nipple into the bung using 4 layers of Teflon Tape on all connections. Then I used a Milton s-655 Brass 1/4” NPT Tee which has 3 Female fittings. One end screws onto the previous nipple so the middle connection is centered and angled down and back a little. The included Tank gauge Tee then screws into the other end of the new Tee. Then the middle is a port for a new hose to connect Using a male 1/4” NPT fitting like Milton s-602 1/4” male NPT to 3/8” ID hose barb and a hose clamp etc. I cut about an 8' chunk of another 3/8” ID air hose. I strongly suggest not using 1/4” hose. Then a quick connect fitting on the end. I use and highly recommend the High Flow Milton Type V couplers. You can use a regular air chuck or make a little bead blaster that runs way better. Use a quick connect fitting then a quarter turn 1/4” valve then a short section of hose and an air chuck that locks on. This is a much higher volume short hose feed off the tank. Smaller and more hose length are restrictions. You can now swap chucks and fill higher psi tires and a higher flow bead blaster. But care must be taken using the new bead blaster as it's got straight tank pressure. So use carefully and once bead pops insert valve and use a gauge to fill properly. 680 Balancer Options/Upgrades Many truck rims will need an additional adapter cone with 5.5” diameter that's sold separately For best results the 680 Balancer, should be anchored to floor. Don't just bolt down unless floor is perfectly level where unit sits. Base is bolted down with (3) 3/8” threaded anchor bolts ideally with 2 1/2” of threads sticking up to level with. Method is below. I wasn't ready to anchor yet so leveled with 3 3/8” x 2 1/2” hex bolt, 6 3/8” flat washers, 6 3/8” nuts. A small thin rubber piece size of a tire patch works good on floor to help keep from walking across floor. Install a nut on the 3/8” bolt approx 1/16” from head of bolt, then a washer. Insert bolt FROM BOTTOM UP through holes on bracket then install 2nd washer and 2nd nut loose, then do same to other 2 holes/bolts. The lowest nut can be adjusted up and down to raise and lower the machine bracket sitting on it. Use a 2nd wrench as needed to hold the hex head while adjusting nut up/down. Use a 24” level on the side of the case to adjust till plumb side to side and front to back. Don't use the plastic tray on top, there's no way to know if it's level to anything. Use the base sides. Then when height is good tighten down the top nut to keep height. 1 wrench holding bolt head 2nd on top nut tightening. Essentially the machine bracket is sandwiched between 2 washers with a nut on top and below. Parking lot light posts are mounted similar for reference except threaded rods are in concrete. As the concrete anchors should be to secure it.

13, 14's are easy, when replacing a size 15, it went 3/4's around and the metal bill bounced over the top, and would not press the tire into the rim

clamps are mostly for some elevating rims to not scratch

The double hotdog life =D

So is this from china ? Was it a smooth purchase/ delivery?

good video

i'm thinking of buying a chinese machine, can anyone tell me if it makes much difference with the 110v vs 220v? its for a low volume shop

Really curious as to how the tire changer and balancer are doing after over 3 years of ownership. Found this pair for $2K which seems like a decent deal, just curious of reliability.

to help break the bead on shitty tires that flop around , keep some air in them. do the back side first, but do not press it all the way off, just down the ledge, flip it around and break the front side bead. You have to do that for atv tires. 5 to 10 psi. My tire changers run on 180 psi, so I can break beads on tires with 30 psi if needed.

I suggest getting some non water based "glycerin?" lubricant made for tire work. When dismounting the tire it can help to spray a little soapy water along the bead as you are trying to break it. Later this soapy solution will help lubricate the foot as it pulls the tire over the rim.

Nice rig

What is the brand and model of tire machine.

Any chance you know what size the female coupler on your air supply line is?

Where do I buy those machines? Pls help.

How much was it delivered??

I would love to see a follow-up video, to know the durability and short comings of these machines are. I'm interested in buying a set for my small shop to get me buy until I can afford a $10,000 set when I expand.

Hey buddy, what is the hose behim the arm for?

Did u figure out what you were doing wrong breaking the bead yet ?

How much for this items tire changing?

If I buy this, is there duck head replacement available ?

Look decent not bad

Nice

valve stem up and down when there is a tpms sensor in the tire. the bead breaker will bust the sensor! and take the rim weights off first.

This was super cringey to watch but not everyone is an expert the first time they touch these machines, lol. The plastic covers for the clamps are for when you have a reverse drop wheel, so the drop center is closer to the back side than the front side. With these style wheels, you have to mount so the outside of the wheel is facing down on the machine. The plastic covers keep it from scratching the wheel. Also, I recommend having the wheel clamped when you set the bead. When tires explode the wheel goes flying in whatever direction its facing. The mag machines don't offer protection or enough clamping force to stop this but it sends the wheel in a desirable direction. Better to have it fly up and give you a chance to cover your head than it fly into somebody's legs.

how to get one

Lift up on the pedal to go the other way if it has that feature

What is the cost for it
