Before I purchase, I'd appreciate some feedback from those that already have or use tyre changers on this piece of gear (more pics on the Ebay web link) which I can buy in Oz. Its about the cheapest I can find here at just over $300 delivered.
I know it says "suitable to 16.5 wheels" and the LT's are 17" rims, but it looks like I could drill a new pin-hole through the sleeve in the mounting arms and get the extra width I need. I called a supplier and he said "yes, thats possible to do"
Its not unlike the Harbour Freight I read a few of you have (which doesn't seem to be available on their site now?).
The mounting bar that comes with it is not like the Mojolever (that'd be another $100+ to get one shipped here), but if I can make some nylon wheel protectors it might work OK.
I've ordered the Marc Parnes balancer already... just looking now at most cost-effective way to get the tyres off & on (and I've looked through a lot of threads on this and figure I need something a little better than clamps, timber and spoons and broken fingers)
cheers
