I like that idea. If I really get into changing tires I was thinking of also moving to an enclosed trailer.

Thanks everyone, I have some brands to look for. I live in Canada and I'm surprised how many brands that don't make it out this way. I'll probably buy one in a few months and I'll post waht I get.

Thanks. honda is a must for me, I can't believe how much better they work compared to the other engines. I'm giving myself a few months to buy one and am keeping an eye one the used market. What do you think of the eagle brand?

Based on the pat year I'd probably average 4 hours a month. I've just been helping out friends and family along with the odd friend of a friend. Based on what I have now 9 cfm would be enough and 13 cfm would be more then enough.

The wheelbarrow ones are only 8 to 10 gallons. It doesn't need to be portable. The only reason I'm looking at a gas one is because I'm limited to 120V 15A power. I was hoping to get a higher cfm with gas so I don't burn it out.

I'm using an old 6 cfm one now. It's electric with an oil free pump. It does a good job but it runs pretty constant and I think it will burn itself out in the near future.

My tire machine 😬 the bead braker uses the most air. The rest is pretty minimal.

No I didn't. I was mainly going by the cfm

I know I've asked about compressors before. I didn't end up buying one. I'm slowly shopping for a gas powered one now. I'm looking at the wheelbarrow style ones with the honda engines. My question is how much do I have to worry about the pumps? They usually just say "cast iron oil...

Thanks everyone. I was surprised to see those compressors for that price. I assumed they were better then they probably are. I have a 10 year old 5 gallon craftsman that is my go to for just about everything. I know with compressors it's usually best to buy one a size bigger. My drawback is I...

I have an old 25 gallon oiless compressor and it did pretty good with my particular machine. I'm pretty sure I can rebuild it and put it back into service. It's just so dang noisy. Yes they're both horizontal tanks. The vertical ones are nicer but I can shove it order a workbench or leave it...

Hi. I'm looking for a bigger air compressor to run my tire maching better. I narrowed it down to 2 on Facebook marketplace. 1st one Campbell hausfld 20 gallon $150 2nd one is a craftsman 25 gallon. $200 Both are belt driven, look in great shape and have close to the same cfm. I'm leaning...

looks like its on the back so id leave it and keep a set on hand. pads are so cheap i don't think anyone would fault you for changing them tho.

i hope you can find a new drain plug. its so much easier to drop a pan that isn't full of fluid. I read once that some places that offer a "transmission service" just hook it up to a flush machine. the pan doesn't get dropped no new filter or clean magnets:-(

that's good to hear. I've read the 4l60s don't do well with heat. that could be more to do with the older transmission fluid they used to use though.

that looks pretty clean. I pull a travel trailer and get the fluid a little hotter then I'd like to. actually hit 200f for a brief moment this year. if the pan is that clean when i take it off I'll leave it on even longer and just keep using the fluid extractor.

thanks everyone I'll go ahead and run it a little longer.

I have a 09 Sierra with the 4l60e about 50,000 km ago i changed the filter and bled the system with mobil dexron vi. since then about every 20,000km ive been using a fluid vac pump to remove what's in the pan and top off with the same fluid. I think my truck falls under the severe use category...

thanks for the replies. I'm probably describing it wrong it sort of looks like a side street or any other ashfult areas that don't see repaving too often. I'm in Canada so i don't think i can buy the good stuff. I'll try and figure out whats in the black knight products.

my asphalt driveway is sort of worn down so that the gravel sits higher then the tar. when I'm sweeping or using the leaf blower the odd piece of gravel comes out. i was wondering if a driveway sealer would help or if its just for looks. black knight is a popular brand in my area. just...
