Here is my tire changer.  It is a great piece of equipment to get clincher tires changed.  Especially for breaking stuck beads.

Here is a picture of me about the time I started wrestling with the early tire machines. 2-ply tires had come out but there were still some Double Eagles with safety tubes that were a handful.

The one I remember using most was the manual pedestal type with a pneumatic bead breaker that pivoted downward from the side of the machine. I don't see pictures of those online.

 

Tractor tires in the 36-38" range I could change in about 20 minutes using a sliding bead breaker and four rims to support the tire while installing the tube. We aired them up to 4 or 6 PSI and stayed away from Calcium.
