A Bishman tire changer from the late 50's or early 60's. Needs some repair: wire cord to motor needs to be reattached and motor mount needs to be welded. The motor itself in in good working condition. The pneumatic bead breaker still works okay. The rim lock will accommodate wheels from 12" to 17.5" ...

This is an old bishman tire changer that I started modifing to be more up to date but never really finished it. It is a rim clamp type machine and put a duck head on as the piece that it normally comes with that rolls the tire on and off I never had. I haven't got to the bead breaker yet to do whats ...

Resisting this old 40's or 50's tire changer at a garage sale was impossible. Does anyone have any ideas where to obtain parts for it? It is missing the fixture that holds the rim in place and the arm that goes around the rim to remove the tire. If I can find the parts I would enjoy restoring it.

Neat find! But I think it may be older than you think. There are 100's, if not thousands of old Bishman tire changers around and parts may not be as difficult to find as you may think. Do a google search for Bishman parts.

Curt, what parts do you think or know you need? The heart of a Bishman tire changer was/is the Gast air motor. Gast can be found on the web and if you have the model of the given air motor on your Bishman I suspect they can tell you what you may need to regain functionality.

1. please do not take this as condescending, but these innocent little tire changers are a full load of dynamite, as you trouble shoot it, do so a little at a time, keeping your head turned away as you try the the switches and functions one at a time. These guys really are explosive in their ability to apply mechanical forces.

2. My suspicion is that you are likely to have the same trouble(s) I had with a changer that had sat sem- protected for decades. If you are lucky and all is well, watch how it works, clean and lubricate it, and practice on easy tires first, after inspecting all the collars and such for cracks or damage.

I have a bishman tire changer like yours, I cut the top shaft off and use a demoounting tool from ebay like for a coats tire changer, and welded a piece of 1/2" flat stock to the top of the shaft. I liked your link to the manuals, though, I have trouble holding a rim tight when dismounting. The original top piece kept sliding in and locking in the rim when removing a tire. Would like to know how to correctly set the knurled rollers that lock the rim to base. Do they go inside or outside the rim like on the newer rim clamp machines. I tapped another set of holes closer to dismount 12" lawn mower rims, they work good. But I am having trouble holding 14.5" trailer rims, which have no center. Am considering fabricating a set of outside rim clamps like on later machines, any ideas?

i have a Big Four air powered tire changer golden sixties special 8060.could someone please help me find out how to use or a site i can find anything about it.i have googled and all i find are the new ones.i have tried to put pics in but cant for some reason.i am on facebook under robin eason in new port richey florida.if you want to friend me i will accept.

Boy am I glad to find someone who will even talk about old tire changers. I am relieved to see the post with BIG FOUR in it as the only wording I can find on this old machine is big four on the valve at the bottom of the cylinder. I have gotten this machine to work, as good as they did back in the day, in the center post turning operation. I thought I had the bead breaker working with enough power to do some work when I put the grease fitting back in the top of the cyl. It worked one time but is now weaker than ever. It will not even come down on its own. I has a swing out arm for the bead breaker and two peddles one for the post turn and one for the bead breaker. A flip lever on the side of the breaker appears to lock the upper and lower together. I have finally reluctantly pulled the piston apart and find a simple single plastic? ring that looks like a chevron seal and located one the same size as the worn? one and hopfully much more pliable. Two pin holes in the piston appear to aid the expansion of the seal. I have not ordered the seal yet. I believe the valve at the bottom of the piston is defective. It is an L shaped unit marked Big Four. The inlet air comes in the out side of the valve. The exaust air end screwed into the cyl. goes out the in side of the valve. Appears backward but that's the way it was when I got it. At the bottom of the valve is a hole with the valve held in by a spring like snap ring. I can see light coming through two of the openings. When my compressor is low air will blow out of this valve at the bottom. When the pressure builds up it will stop and charge the cylinder but no longer give me enough pressure to even move on its own. I can see that their is a lot of knowledge on this site. Please help I will attach a picture if I can figure out how. Thanks in advance

I purchased the tire changer at an auction at the C.O.D. garage in Minden, Nevada when the car dealership was going out of business in 2004. C.O.D. Garage started business in 1912 by Clarence Oliver Dangburg At the time it was the only garage between Sacramento and Bodie, California. The auction went on for three days and there was a lot of interesting vintage car dealer items sold.

My son is into demolition derby and bought this old air operated tire changer. We need an air valve for it (has 3 the same in it) but can not find manufacture label on only the Logo on the side panel.

Resurrecting this topic in the hope that someone can help with an old Atlas A-4 manual tire changer. It has a air cylinder that drives the bead breakers - up and down and seems to be all there. The entire bead breaker mechanism swivels around the machine, so you don't have to move the rim. The top bead breakers is a bit odd - can be configured in several positions but I'm not sure which is for what. Also, I'm not sure how the two bars are supposed to be used. The one with the small wheel and the flip-out lever seems to work fine to remove a bead, but I've not had it quite so easy installing a tire. I also don't understand how the large wheel bar is supposed to be used, and what the bar with the ring at the end is for - it fits over the central shaft, but not sure if it's to hold down different types of wheels or what. 2b1af7f3a8
