I bought one of these with the balancer on eBay for just under 3K with freight, residential delivery charge and tax. I was very disappointed that after all that money, The machine needs to be assembled. I believe it should have come ready to use like my last machine did. I also put wheels on mine as in the video, Makes it easy to push it out of the way when not in use. So far, machine works ok.
Great video! What is the height of the machine? The website does not say. I just wonder because i want to put on wheels and store in a smaller area in my shop
You can get them at lowes. I wish I could post som pictures but they have two sizes you can use. I used the bigger one. Here’s the model number for the small one, 0235514, the bigger one is 0235528, one is 2” the other is 3”. Hope this helps. Pass it on
Interesting all of the older 988 ,950 tire machines rotate the wheel clockwise and the bead breaker was on the right side. wonder why they reversed everything?-
@@ericfusa Thanks didn't know the vids could be reversed image. Of the affordable tire machines- that 988 looks like the most versatile especially for run flats and low profile tires. It also looks to handle larger 4x4 tires well to.
Great review, I’m planning on getting one for my small shop 👍🏾👍🏾thanks!!
Good video Eric!
Great review keep up the good work.👍
Great job dude. Very informative and no BS. ;-)
What wheels did you put on your machine? Were did you get them?
How much weight do they hold? What size are they and do they lock?

I just got one of these and would love it if you could go through the pneumatic connections. The manual is lack luster.
How about the balancer? Can you review it also?
Is this machine strong enough to break the bead on atv/utv tires
Do you have the basic dimensions for both machine
Eric I just have to know where did you get the wheels for the machine? Do you have the size?

what’s the height of this machine with the duck head all the way up ? i’m trying to open mobile tire shop
how tall is that tire changer on those wheels?
Red dot to valve if present. Apparently were supposed to ignore the yellow dot now.
How about one on the assembly of the 988? The manual is HORRIBLE!!!
What size compressor do you need to run this? 80 Gal?
I run mine on a 60 gallon compressor.
Why is your bead breaker on the left side?
Its the camera
Any problems with the machine on wheels?
Not yet...still works fine
would u recomend this machine
Yes, the machines are still working well

The video is mirrored. That’s why you see it on the wrong side. You can notice it by the wiring on the machine.
True. sorry bout that. I didnt know how to fix it.. I'm working on another one.

@@danlewis243 My kids have put 35s on it with no problem
@@ericfusa I bought one but need help installing the air hoses Can you help me out
First time I’ve ever seen the bead breaker on the left side of machine????
He is using the front facing camera so it's just mirroring the image it's on the right
i have same machine, it flexes too much on the arm
Don't record in portrait. Use landscape yah know wide-screen. That's the proper format.
Ok
