I bought one of those a while back after getting a puncture in my car, perhaps two months ago. I put a temporary repair string in the tyre.. not yet fitted it to floor or finished adapting it. You can get an upgrade kit with a ducks head, alu cone and arm, to allow changing alloys without scratching them. I didnt buy the arm and will weld one up. This sort of thing https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0F3WB63SX However for small stuff I have a Stenor. Its great for breaking motorcycle tyres but found cars are too big.

I have one of those, they work fine for most tires, smaller wheelbarrow tires cant be done as they don't have the hole in the center, and some rims have an internal lip on the rim to stop the tire coming off at very low pressures, these may be a problem with the bead breaker part of the machine, I reinforced mine and it worked fine after the mod. make sure you bolt it to a concrete floor securely, you will see them mounted on pallets, or sleepers, but you'll just end up wrestling the thing around the workshop, securely fixed to the floor and you can get the best from it.

I change a lot of small tyres - mowers, quad, trailers, wheelbarrow etc. Some tyres I can remove with basic tools, a vice, lubricant and lots of swearing, but some defeat me. The local garage doesn't really like changing small tyres and they have taken two weeks so far to do the last one and no doubt it will be expensive. I can fit valves, tubes, patches, plugs and all the other bodges for non-road use. Can anyone recommend a manual tyre changing tool for small tyres? Something like this? Thanks

Hire digger for clearing the site, then buy a loader for the build, far more useful.

Hi Dan It does make a difference, that's why we asked. We are trying to only post on a Friday, with whatever we are promoting on our socials and emails. I do notice that when we update the classifieds, they all pop up in the unread posts. As these run out after 2 weeks, I've started to try to spread them out so it's not too much at once. I can't control this as it's an Arbtalk thing. Pricing-wise, we should always be cheaper as we are only there to move on end-of-line products or out-of-packaging products. We will have a think and discussion on how to be more engaging in our content - any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you for your feedback, it is valuable to us as it should be for any business.

I would think the oil bath air filter would be a no no due to you needing to use the grinder on slopes etc. Have a look at the Chinese Honda copies for a replacement (Lifan etc). About half the price, electric start versions available. Obviously check crankshaft length/diameter before ordering. The foam sleeve that goes over the paper air filter element is an important part of the set up if working in dusty environment. It needs to be dipped in clean oil and squeezed out at regular intervals after washing out in petrol to catch any dust etc. before reaching the paper filter.

Back to work after a couple of week off, weather suitably autumnal. Hedge cutting at home today to get us back in the groove. Laurels that surround the house, planted by me 15 years ago. Takes most of the day, twice a year. One foot in front of the other…

Good morning Arbtalkers and here we go again.....
