Looking at one from Greg Smith Equip. Air over hydralic unit for $200. My question is, could a person run one with a porta power unit and get a way from the air box unit? Would be slower but have the porta power kit now just need the hose to go between the 2. Thanks.
 
It would depend on the oil capacity of your porta power.

If you can find the bore and stroke of the bead breaker cylinder, calculate the oil volume.

Then look up the reservoir capacity of the porta power. If the capacity or the reservoir is greater it should work.

The bead breaker would also need to have a single acting, spring return cylinder, which it probably does.
 
Not what you asked about but we bought one of the screw type from Milex Equipment and I have to say I was very impressed with it. We took down 4 old and dry 18.4-38s that had leaked calcium. Used a hammer to help the clamp shove the foot into the bead and then it took surprisingly little effort on the screw to jack the bead down. For a few tires a year it works well enough for me.

yes, we have something about the same, purchased from the JD store a few years back at that time was about $100. Alittle diffferent style, its a job sometimes to get to drive in and locked on. Like your style better with the hook to clamp to the rim might go that way. We have worked on many tires with this one, sometimes easy but other times, lol.
 
Check with Heavy Equipment supply companies & Mining supply companies; there is a bead-breaker that is designed to work off of a Porta-Power. We had one at the Mine that I worked at in Death Valley, Cal., used it to break the beads on the big 24-ply Loader tires.

If you use it a lot, get the box, look around they can be had for far less than most tire supply warehouses sell them for.
 
Have one of those use alot on the smaller tires, just used it last night on an a wagon tire. Have tried on the bigger tractor rears but not so good a luck, hard to get it angled in right with fenders and wheels moved in for 30 inch rows.
 
Are you collecting bead breaking equipment? LOL JK
The inside is a little tougher to get I know with the three point in the way and on some the fender. I it is what I have used for years, changed many rear tractor tires, having 14 tractors.
 
Iti:

We were mining Colemanite, a Calcium / Sodium Borate. It has a real high co-efficient of thermal expansion, and when added in minute quantities to any Glass or Ceramic product it imparts those properties to the Glass or Ceramic. That's why you can take Corelle dishware right out of the freezer & put it into a microwave cooker without it shattering. Colemanite is also used in the manufacture of Owens-Corning Pink Housing Insulation; as well as the ablative tiles on the Space Shuttle. There are many, many other uses for it as well.
