Hi guys This is a major long shot. I know these machines aren't very popular, and support online is pretty hard to come by. I am trying to use the Optimize function on this machine, where you spin the wheel alone, put the tire on and spin it as an assembly, and then it will tell you where to...

Hi guys I'm thinking about installing a waste oil furnace or wood furnace in my barn. My roof peak is quite high (like 35ft) since it is a gambrel style barn. I want to put it on the ground floor. Curious about chimney setups. Is the only way to buy a ton of chimney pipes and put it above the...

Hi guys I have a Chinese tire machine. It is great, love it. Only downside is doing heavy LT tires or lower profile, I’d really love to have one of those helper/assist arms for it. Has anyone here added one to their machine? Which one did you choose? From what I see available there are two...

Hi guys For context I had a 9' wide x 8' tall garage door. It's layout was as follows: 4 x 24" panels, one torsion spring (0.250" x 2" ID x 30" long). The total weight of the door was 173 lbs. It worked well. I had the spring cranked about 32-33 1/4 turns (around 8 full turns). Now, I have...

Hi guys I’m looking to buy a Pittsburgh 3 ton low profile. I saw they have a parking lot sale this weekend but only the regular 3 ton is in the sale. Has anyone bought a low profile 3 ton in a sale, and if so, what discount were they giving on it? And how often do these sales occur? I’m from...

Hi guys I just inherited this old Prest-A-Lite air acetylene torch (not oxy-acetylene). I took it all apart and cleaned it in my ultra sonic cleaner, and now it runs really nice, a nice solid blue flame. My question is when turning the gas regulator off, there is a sort of backfire from I...

Hi guys I have a recessed area of my wall where a window used to be. Contemplating just closing it off with plywood like the rest of the wall or maybe using it for storage. Anyone have any ideas for storage that could be put into a recessed 2x4 wall like this? Aerosol cans and caulking tubes...

For you tire guys out there in the salt belt: After cleaning up the corrosion on aluminum/steel wheels on the bead, do you guys use a No Rim Rust product like from Freylube, or a bead sealer instead? Pretty sure the No Rim Rust is kind of like a grease, whereas bead sealer is kind of like a...

Hi guys I'm running a pex line (don't need any opinions on pex pls) to run air to my barn about 30ft from my shop. My shop is the low point. To be able to have a slope, I had to make the pex enter the shop almost near the floor. I sloped it for any water to drain out as the underground run is...

Hi guys I have a new to me tire machine that I'm cleaning up, and wanted to know what the best thing to use for lubricating the jaws on the machine would be. Oil or grease? The jaws that move back and forth to clamp the wheels.
