Ammco 660 tire machine

[Greg Rogers]

Hi Guys, I bought a old Ammco 660 tire machine- It does work but doesn't retract. Guy I bought it from said it is missing some springs, and it is. Looks like there are 4 posts on each side- my question is how do springs go and what size, length and tension are the springs, where can I get them, and which 2 posts get a spring between them. I have found no parts diagrams or manuals online. Hoping maybe someone can shed some light on this. Do you have one of these and could take a pic of the spring location? Also I wonder if this Ammco is set up like a similar age Coats? see the posts in the pics. The first 4 pics are the front- the next 3 are the rear. Thanks for any opinions/advice you can give.
