I haven't done much tire changing lately, the 10/10 is in my bottom garage and its kind of a pain to get the air line back there. Even though the hoses are old and leak some air, it still gets the job done. I have hanged lot of tires on that old machine. It was bolted to a 4' x 8' piece of 3/4" plywood that came with it. They didn't put it up for bid until late in the day, and I bought it for my opening bid of $25. I mounted a lot of those dirt track tires.įlash forward 30 years, I went to an auction where they had an old beat up Coats 10/10. I got pretty good at using that old manual changer! When the guys at our local dirt track started running the wide tires, that old manual changer was about the only thing that could handle a 12" wide wheel. He had a "new" Coats 20/10 at the time, but he had one of those old manual changers also. In addition to pumping gas, changing and repairing tires was my job. When I was 16, I worked at a local gas station/repair shop.
