I've gotten better with practice on using this machine. Those little tires are the worst! I've learned it's often easier to just install inner tubes in these tires. I'm doing that a lot lately.
I've watched several of these small tire repair using the HF Pittsburg tire tool/machine and everyone is the same. Way to much movement/slop in the mount. Any movement = wasted energy in changing / removing tire from rim. In addition to the slop in the tool your whole work table is moving. I understand you mentioned you didn't want it permanently mounted to your table. I'm sure you could think up a way/place to make a more stable mounting surface/place. A tip when breaking the bead use lube/soapy water as you move the bead breaker around the tire.
Yes, it is amazing that I actually succeeded. This is one of those videos people love to hate me for. Another real winner was my video on how to load grease into your grease gun.
You have the aluminum funnel disk on upside down. You need to flip it over and have it with the small side down and large side up. AND THEN you can tighten the wheel down and it makes it 100 tomes easier
When installing the new tire, you can't do it with the tire up next to the rim where it is going to end up. You have to let it ride down to the narrow part of the rim so there is more room to stretch the tire, especially on small diameter tires. There's just not enough to stretch otherwise.
Hint , keep the rim from turning , I use a short chain that is held in place by the lag screw holding the bottom down , I use a J bolt , with a nut of course, through a wheel lug hole , hook it to the chain and twist ( either way ) till the chain is tight . Presto no rim turning and the tire comes right off . I don't know why someone doesn't sell split rim wheels , once a tube is in there you don't need the tubeless seal anyway . I made a pair and oh my word did that ever make repairing a tire easy ( have three ride one , five acre lawn ) deck is off one mower, use it as a garden tractor , trailer hitch ,snow plow for the front
Window cleaner works great on windows and for tires that are going to be removed try WD-40 it will make the tire really slippery and then the tire will slide much easier
That is a difficult process. I've done mine with a crowbar, claw hammer and oversize screwdriver. It is SO difficult, even with the correct tools. At 18:00 you should be stomping on that tire while the air hose is filling the valve. The lip would then move around and snap into place on the rim quickly and perfectly.
You have to have the bead breaker lever attached lower near the hub of the wheel. Then when pushing down to break the bead, the force on the threaded rod is up, not sideways. You won't bend the threaded rod from upward force. Good job though, the small tires you mounted are the toughest ones to do.
Yep a few mistakes, you learn from the first one, and you'll do better on the second one and you'll learn more about the job and what it takes to get the new one done and then once the tool pays for itself and then the tire shop will get the rest of them
Your setup is too far in the center of the table. I watched your video and put it in my vise which is much closer to the body and the new tires went on without an issue. I wish I tried your valve removal though, but I still had to soak up the tire with glass cleaner...
Set of two 11X4.00-5 tires - amzn.to/2wvfDXe
Or if you prefer to just use inner tubes - amzn.to/2C3XWn2
Dude I'm fighting with putting a front tire from a old snapper now ! I feel your pain

When I use this tool I use the bead breaker to hold down the tire while rotating the installer.
Cool! I've been using this tool a lot this Spring. I getting better at it....

Very interesting, You got it done which was amazing. glad you use the right tools for the job a screwdriver for a punch and pliers for a hammer...

@@Buckwsr Over the years I have had to put grease in a gun and it was not tube grease. Packing a grease gun is a messy job..
Tire lube would help allot.
Are you sure it’s on tight enough ?
On my full sized machine, the rim doesn’t move ?
Just saying…….
Yes, thanks. Over time I've gotten better at using this tool.

Thanks, Jeff. I've gotten better at using this thing since making the video....
YOU NEED FIX SO REM DOES NOT TURN. MAKES IT SO MUCH EASY
He didn't tighten the threaded steel red piece enough.

Bucwsr i would like to get the old tires that you took off your jondeer tractor
Sorry, bud. This project was from nearly two years ago....

Great tip! Thank you!
Need to use two tire irons and criss / cross
lol I'm taking mine to the tire store. It's cheaper.
It's not just the tire machine it's also the air compressor and the chiropractor. lol.
Thanks for the chuckle. I will say that I've gotten better at using this little machine...fortunately....
Cone spacer is upside down
Should have put lube on the rim before you break the bead...Tighten the red threaded piece on top so the rim doesnt turn
Window cleaner works great on windows and for tires that are going to be removed try WD-40 it will make the tire really slippery and then the tire will slide much easier
clamp a vice brig on the rim when removing and installing and it will help hold the tire from going back on and help remove it. thanks for the video.
other videos I've watched they don't have as much trouble as you're having? Why?
Try turning your bead breaker bar over you got it facing the wrong direction
You are using it wrong. The cone spacer is upside down.
It doesn't matter since it's being used as a spacer not a cone.

You're right. This job was a bit of a test, but in the end we got it done!

Yes, those little tires are brutal. Might just go with inner tubes next time....
See you in 30 years for the second tire change.
I watch videos like this, for comments like yours hahahahaha
If you take out the valve core it will seat the bead you wouldn't of had to put on the strap
Good tip. Thank you.
I love mechanics work but tires are not my thing and never will be 😢
I usually go to tire shop 😊
do you know how to read instructions with common sence?
Yep a few mistakes, you learn from the first one, and you'll do better on the second one and you'll learn more about the job and what it takes to get the new one done and then once the tool pays for itself and then the tire shop will get the rest of them
You're using the wrong end of the tire tool!!
dont quit your day job
Good advice!

Thanks, Paul, for watching the video, and your feedback.
Too funny too watch
Boy that job is a bear to do.
Damn, get a couple screwdrivers and throw that piece of shit in the dumpster. That thing is junk.
Smaller the tire then more annoying they are lol
So true!!!
Buckwsr just put some inner tubes on my front wheels of my old John Deere 68 and they’re a nightmare.
It took me about a good half hour to try to get them on.
Lol
