Nowdays work = money which is a good thing. Got to get ambitious and make up a spare tire mount for the 87. Don't do underneath mounts.

I'm ready to take a nap...got the spare tire mount made up and tire in place. Mounted and balanced 4 tires for son's car. Think I'll either try to get a tire machine or pass the next time. Hammer and tire irons suck.

A guy I know has a Coats 20-20 machine. Depending on when you talk to him, he wants $3-500 for it. But, it is really buried in his shop. Stuff piled all over it. It was last seen about 2 yrs ago. I saw a nice one in the Stuart, VA school bus garage. You roll the tire over to it, the machine picks it up and goes to work. No lifting involved. We've got a bubble balancer but, still have to lift the tire on and off. Had 4 used tires balanced in VA for $10. Here in NY it's about $16-20 per tire.
