I have a Coats 10-10 tire changer that needs help to break the beads and remove 16' pu tires. Need something better but not fancy. Re: Coats 10/10 tire machine owner's manual in reply to BigR, 16:36:55 I bought a Coates 10-10 tire changer on a farm auction this spring, and found the following on the mfgr- Hennessy Industries, 1601 JP Hennessy Drive, La Vergne, TN.

Hello, This is my Coats 10-10 tire machine that I got for free. This machine was sitting outside for many many many years. It was finally given to me and after a quick cleaning of the leaves and dirt off of it and then replacing the air hose I was quite surprised to find out this it works pretty darn good.

I have to replace two missing springs and give it a sandblasting and paint job but for now it works great for doing steel rims. I wouldn't dare to try to do aluminum rims because this machine would probably destroy the rim.

However 3 out of my 5 vehicles have steel rims so I am loving the machine. I placed the machine on a furniture dolly so I can wheel it out of the way when I am not using it. So far I mounted four new tires on my wife's 2007 Hyundai Elantra and a set on my 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins truck, not to mention the flat repairs on my friends and family's vehicles (like the picture is after a flat repair - bad valve steam) Please feel free to ask any questions or make any comments on my free dinosaur I got.

HaHa Take Care, Brian.

First off, I know nothing about tire machines and just really want the good bad and the ugly about this particular model. This tire machine is going to be for sale at a sale this weekend and my dad is looking at trying to buy it. It probably hasn't been used for 15 years and I have really no idea how old it is but what are the opinions on this brand and does anyone know anything about this particular model?

He is a rural mailman here in Missouri and the local tire guy is thinking of going out of business which kind of leaves him hanging with flats etc.which he has regularly. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. I am no expert, but isnt a 1010 just an earlier, smaller 2020? A picture would help.

If so, very serviceable unit on steel wheels. Mag wheels can pose a problem. They sell plastic liners to cover the tooling to help protect the mag's finnish.

These machines will break Crager 5 spoke style mags very easily if not paying attention. They work very good for taking apart field wheels.very strong and dependable. I would not pay too much for it as most tire stores have converted to rim clamp style machines by now. I'd love to have one. I believe that the only (major) difference between a 1010 and a 2020 is that the 2020 has the tube with holes in it that sits right under the wheel and shoots air into the tire when you're filling the tire. Very helpful on radial tires. I've changed untold numbers of tires on one of these back when they were state of the art; before 2020's came out; over 30 years ago.

I was the young part-time kid in the shop back then and any time someone came in with 'mag' wheels one of the older guys booted me outta the way. As i recall they ran on compressed air and had no electricity hooked to them. Oh, yeah; coats was THE brand back then. If you buy it, decide you don't like it, and want to sell it let me know. A Coats 10/10 is a privative tire changer that was built in the 60’s, kind of a pain to use and a real wheel scratchier, they grab the inside of the wheel so the bead breaker doesn’t slip.
