Hello Gerry, Grant and John.
You have a good Friday too Gerry, hope your weather is as nice as ours. It`s only 1°C but feels a lot warmer, the sun is really shinny and the wind is down so a perfect almost spring day here. 11°C tomorrow, the streets are mucky but I`ll take this warm stuff.

It`s already warmer here Gerry, 5°C this morning with a breeze and 9°C this afternoon.
Your rain coat will come in handy today John.
Good luck at the dance completion Colin.

Happy Saturday mornin'all. I got pissed off over all the money I spent on changing tires lately, so I bought a new tire machine. I did some research and found a new one for $1500.00. It showed up at work yesterday. I put it together and tried it out, and it works fantastic. I worked between Firestone, and Goodyear for many years. This is a quality machine for the home shop. No more paying $15.00 for a changeover. Next I may buy a balancer. I never balance tires unless there is a problem. Have a great day guy's.

$1500.00 is a good deal Grant. That beats my old and cheap manual tire changer, I mainly use it for emergency tire repairs on the farm.

I've looked at tire changers at the auction but they got to pricey, what kind is it Grant.
Got most of the interior in but I need the truck tomorrow so the seats had to get put back in so that its driveable. New seats sit about an inch or 2 higher which is nice and sure are a lot more comfortable plus the shifter doesn't hit the seat anymore. Made it to about 15 but theres dark clouds and a wind on the way.

We have a manual tire changer at the farm also. I have patches, plugs, valve stems and other stuff for repairing tires that were left over from my FIL's shop. Fixing our own tires has been great as it is a 45 minute drive to a tire shop and you never know how much it will cost.

I don't think I'd ever changed enough tires to spend $1500 in my life time..the last 5 tires I bought were mounted and balanced no charge..

You could get one of those bomb site balancers they sell at Princess Auto, that is what I used when I was a teenager working at the garage at home and they worked well.
