Atlas tire changer help

[bustech17]

Hey everyone! I have an Atlas ETC-14 tire changing machine that I have acquired from a dear departed friend. The problem I have has been self inflicted I believe. Before I went to pick it up, I had it laying on it's side on a pallet jack. When I finally did get it, I noticed what appeared as hydrolic oil on the floor. Now I notice when I go to use it, the arm that removes the tire wants to snap around halfway through the cycle. Not much fun when you are holding it while removing tire. I guess to cut to the chase is where do I put the oil back into it? I can't seem to find a manual to this machine probably due to it's age... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Is this what it looks like?



If it is, it looks like the Coats 20-20; which is what I have, it might be easier to find parts and other info for the Coats machine.

Here is a picture of a Coats 20-20.



Here is a link for a Coats 20-20 manual:

I've emailed them twice a month ago and got no response.

Who did you email?

Fordcrager..... I emailed Greg Smith Equipment... In any case, My Atlas looks exactly like the one in the above picture that you provided, except I have the updated bead breaker, or I guess it could be called the power arm. I looked at the manual link you provided for the Coats 20-20 and I believe this will help me immensely! Thank you so much! I'll be pulling that side of the machine apart in a little bit. I'll let you know how I made out. Thank you again!!

Like I said, I have a Coats 20-20. If there is anything that I could do to help you let me know. Just send me a PM with your phone number or I could give you mine.

Hi Folks,
I am having a time trying to find an air hose diagram. I have a 2020 to restore however none of the parts are connected and all the air hoses are gone. If someone could take a few pictures of the underneath of the unit that would be a big help. If there is a manual I sure can't find one. Any help would be great.
Thanks
