keiser31 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 A friend of mine and I took his 1914 Cartercar in to the tire shop to mount some new NON SKIDS today. Ross Johnston was the guy to see at his shop in Ashland, Oregon. He had an old Weaver tire machine and it made fast work (6 hours) of changing those absolutely petrified original tires. Here are some shots.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1929Chrysler Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Keiser31... I'm curios. Does the 1914 not have split rims?? If not, how does this old Weaver tire machine work??Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I have one of those Weaver machines that is missing the base. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 Yes, The Cartercar has split rims. The tires had to be chiseled so that the forks on the machine could grip the rim. The strange thing about the rims is the fact that the valve stem is right at the diagonal split and VERY hard to get the right geometry to get the stem straight when the rim is re-seated.
