- Quick update and use of the Mayflower tire machine and helper arm off EBAY!
1st video link: • Mayflower 950 Tire Mac...
My homeboy Tom Tom worked mounting and balancing tires for years. His advice was this: If the balancer is telling you that you need 1.5 oz. or more wheel weight then break the tire off the rim, turn it 90 degrees and try again. Of course sometimes you don’t have the time and just have to hang a yard of scrap metal on the rim. BUT - if you have the time, don’t be afraid to start from scratch.
Just subscribed!
Good advice, thanks!
When I used to do this work I never placed the metal cone center spacers on the inside of aluminum wheels that have the small center holes..its much faster and better to use it on the outside of the center hole and remove the plastic cone from the fastener which forces the wheel to be perfectly centered on the balancer. The only time I had to do it the "normal" way was larger center hole steel wheels.
The tire changer/balancer machine will pay for itself quickly if you have family, friends and a few customers. Thankyou for sharing your video.
Thank you thank you thank you for this very clear video. We were having so much trouble with the balancer and your video was so helpful!
Thanks for being detailed. Very good video!
Good video, in particular to the demonstration of how the equipment needs to be setup and how well its held up in a garage.
That extra roller arm levering on the head is really handy to convert a lower spec machine with no assist arms,
Couldn't help notice that the wheel when being balanced is visibly buckled though.
Waiting for My set Now...
I ordered Tire Changer Wheel Balancer Combo 980 800 with 300 Assist Arm
I like that lever you used to push the tire down near the duckhead-do you have a name or part number for it? Thanks for the good and informative video!
I find it hard to believe you've done 100's of tyres, it genuinely looks like its your 2nd/3rd time around
I wipe mine down with wd40 each time I use mine.
Do you have a link for the assist arm does mayflower make it ?
Great video by the way thanks
I would suggest you put the tire/wheel combo on the balancer before the cone if you have clearance to the machine. Having the rim against the large diameter mounting surface will keep the tire vertical. Place the cone on after the wheel and use the screw ring with the small flush insert to tighten up the tire against the cone while hand rotating. If there is tire wobble there is something wrong with how the assembly is on the balancer, or a bad rim.
where did you buy the "roller tool"? Did you make it yourself? Excellent video, thank you.
If you balance a tire, take it off the machine and put it right back on, does it still show a good balance? i am thinking of getting one of these for my own personal use.
Yes it does. Test against more expensive machines as well.
No it won't I know this because I have one. The seller tells me this is normal and not to put it back on lol.
Hi
I just purchase the same may flower tire changer and balancer combo with the exact assist arm as your.
But my assist arm hydraulic assist arm is not functional. When I push the switch up or down to lower assist arm or move up
It doesn’t respond. Is there an on or off switch to it?
There is only 3 hose on the back that I color match when I connected them.
Please share if I miss any thing to get it to work I would really appreciated you
Thank you
Tien
Guess you forget one thing: On each tire, there is at least one yellow/red spot that usually needs to be side by side with the valve to make the balancing easier. If there are a red and a yellow, put the red with the valve.
Depends on the manufacturer! Michelin doesn't have any because their tires are balanced enough, it's not needed!
Can you do 35s on that machine?
What is the model number on the arm and how hard was it to assemble?
We have a this same machine at my shop. Unfortunately we struggle to mount 300+ due to the shortness of neck. Any way to bypass that?
Are you able to replace the neck for a longer one?
How much did you get it for
Can the 2 rotations dismount a tire?
I have always used the jaws to push out on the inside of the rim instead of having them go in on the lip of the rim. never had any problem and much faster/easier
You can but you risk scratching the rim that way
@@biturbos4 doing mechanic work for a living for over 30 years-time is money. it will sometimes leave the tinniest little dimples on the inside of the rim that you need to look for to see. unless your doing a show car where everything is inspected under a microscope I would not bother doing it the other way.
@@biturbos4 another bonus of doing it the way I do is the arms are pulled in to begin with making it easier to break the bead on the tire, you dont need to worry as much about if there is room that the tire will hit one of the clys. once bead is broken just throw tire on top of table and hit the pedal. the pads will come out and grab the rim and be centered right away, no playing around to make sure they have grabbed the rim and are level.
Looks like your wheel balancer needs recalibrated
Hi friend
Please tell me where you buy tolls when you work on 13:40min. from your video,did you make it or what...also the piece that is fixed on the duck's head ???
Please to help for that info?
Thank you very much.
In the description is my first video I posted a link to the product there.
I have seen this machine did you pay 800 for both or is it 800 for each machine ?
I was thinking of buying the set but not sure if it's 1600 or 800 bucks
curious as to what at 1:03 of video, what adjustments that bolt allows you to adjust. i work with this machine and been having the problem of the demount/ mount arm push up even after i lock the lever. tires are lubed very well as i do alot of 35-40 series tires. really looking into a better duck head for the super low profiles im working with but alot of mix reviews saying this silver duck head is superior to the black and red ones. any info would be greatly appreciated
It adjust the pressure/force of locking the duck head on the wheel.
Just be mindful when you put stick on weights on top of stick on weight that when you put it on the car that there might not be a lot of room between the caliper and the wheel weights and it may rip them off
Hey boss, what size of air compressor do you use for the tire changer?
www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-QUIET-TECH-26-Gallon-Single-Stage-Portable-Electric-Vertical-Air-Compressor/1001014062?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-tol-_-ggl-_-LIA_TOL_153_Pneumatics-And-Compressors-_-1001014062-_-local-_-0-_-0&gclid=CjwKCAjwuqiiBhBtEiwATgvixNpQk91AJHTQ6SYF2cs7lgdblr7C0A1xILXHVvsPQH0xwJIsEWLXtBoCrRgQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Instead of adding more weight when the wheel doesn't balance out on the confirmation spin, just advance or retard the weight's position on the wheel just a little. A true balance on a tire will use no more weight than called for. Use tape to secure your stick ons, this way you can move them around before permanently attaching them. The true mark of a tire clown is weights all over the rim, or piled on top of others, and it's a sure way to get shake/vibration. Sometimes you can't get around an additional 7g(1/4 oz) counter weight added in a third position, but it's the exception not the norm.
That rim had took a hard pot hole impact and was damaged as well. When I used to do this work I also never placed the cone center spacers on the inside of aluminum wheels that have the small center holes..its much faster and better to use it on the outside of the center hole and remove the plastic cone from the fastener whihc forces the wheel to be perfectly centered on the balancer. The only time you had to do it the "normal" way was larger center hole steel wheels
I've been looking at these Mayflower machines but the prices are all over the place depending on where you get them from can you tell me where you got yours and what you paid for it. I'm not sure if some of these places are just scams cuz they are half the price of others.
There's also different sizes to do smaller or larger tires for Motorcycles/ 4wheelers all the way up to trucks. It just depends on what size you need/want.
@@alifeexperiment2479 I own a lawn care business so I mostly do mower and trailer tires the 950 goes down to a 10" rim so I think that's the one I want
Ebay seems to consistently be the cheapest.
Ty for this, what does the lone pedal on the left side do?
Spins the table
@@PrecisionAutoSource the one that says 1/2 that is by itself on the left side of base?
@@slingshotengage Oh sorry that activates the air to fill the tire and bead blast if you push in all the way.
Your lucky you didn’t break that tpms you did that all wrong
the dot is an old wifes tail! it doesnt mater where is goes
Red and yellow dots on the sidewall indicate the flattest and lightest points of the tire. All other colors are not useful for installation.
@@TranceFur As I said the dots is an old wifes tail! it doesnt mater where is goes! same as setting a battery on concrete will drain it, old wifes tail!
That rim is either junk or you had something under the mounting surface on the balancer.
