Yeah, a 1929 A. I drug it out of a barn in pieces. Thanks! The guy was a stand up guy, the manual arrived in the mail Saturday. I'll check them out, I've bought a bunch of lead weights on Amazon or from the local tire shop. Harbor Freight also has the stick on weights You aren't kidding...

Hello, longtime lurker, but just joined again since I couldn't remember my username. I have been wrenching a long time, but not near as long as many of you. This is my first tire changer, and I don't want to just throw money at it, and it look like it can be expensive to fully refurbish. I...
