- Details on the mount I made for the Harbor Freight Pittsburgh Automotive Mini Tire Changer. This lets me attach it to the floor mounted manual tire changer for a good stable base.

It's certainly nice when you know how how to weld. Me, I'm all nuts and bolts for building something. I like that. Mine I end up fastening it to my table saw. Works relatively well.
very very good idea brother Bill
nice work. I enjoyed the video
I made a 28 inch long piece of 2 inch receiver tubing with a 2 inch inside tee welded on the end that takes another piece of receiver tubing. It is 28 inches long too with my tire machine mounted on top. It slides down in the "tee" and I have set bolts on the side of the tee to tighten it. Fits any pickup with a receiver hitch and the tailgate can be down for a work area. Rock solid. I also made new tire irons that are 30 inches long. Makes the grunt work a lot easier. I also made another hold down that works on top with a rubber irrigation pipe seal on bottom to grip the tire and glued a rubber flat rubber washer on top. It grips the tire a lot better. Work the tire irons from left to right and the wheel will not move.
I like your kitty on mouse patrol.
Awesome!
Very good thank you. I just bought mine today. ( mini tire changer). The saw set up and bench also look very good.
Great idea!
nice idea, Nice shop, better than mine
Thank you Andrew.
It's a good idea.
I like it
I'm guessing since you have both, the larger one isn't as good for mower and atv tires and such? which is mostly what I would probably use one for. Cool shop
It's based on the center opening on the wheel. The larger tire changer needs an opening of about 2". Anything with the smaller opening (like a lawn tractor) needs to use the changer that I modified in this video.
That's great but you need to come up with something that addresses poor fit of the base to the top as it comes. Thanks, hope you or someone can come up with a solution.
I don't find that to be a problem, but you could easily put a couple appropriate sized washers between the parts and then use a bolt instead of that pin.
@@srlbotanical Thanks, sounds like a start. Might try a piece of metal and drill it to take up space. Just a sloppy design on Harbor Freight's part. Thanks Steve
HF is discontinuing the manual tire changer...i trie dto buy the display..no luck.
