Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

How many tires on that??

 

I was thinking that too, pumped up to the standard 175 psi and regulated down to normal shop pressure of about 100 psi you could probably run a tire shop for the entire day.

 

New vacuum for the garage, $10 at a yard sale.
This sounds promising.



The devil is in the details...

 

Always tires.

 

Got to run a manual lathe for the first time in a long time making some centering slugs for our fixtures in our new machines. Made the first one and realized I undersized the length, but it'll work. Then the next two my dang drill walked and now my holes are a bit on the large side. Not too happy about it, but they're usable.

 

Hmmmm...

 

New tires will be here next week, let's see if the redneck method will work until then.



I'm ok putting air in it a few times a day - I would like to be able to make it out of the garage however.

 

Let us know if that things sucks…..



I bet it does….




Or maybe not

 

Whoever changes that is going to hate you. Tip well.

 

I do them myself, guess I earned Arby's!

There is actually a tube floating around in there too, I "found" it in the archives and went to the time & trouble to put it in -- only to remember why it was sitting around.

It leaks around the stem when installed, it was fine when I tested it outside the tire.
I was mad enough I just left it in there and put a regular valve stem and the Fix a Flat in.

 

I use slime in every tire I install.
Usually a ounce.
Then I swish it around the sidewall.
Be careful taking that tire off.
Use gloves, mask.
I had to deal with that crap for years. NOT FUN!!!
