Feeble attempt at a troll. Keep digging. You will post 500 threads
before you understand. I guess you think those clowns at HF have
better advice for you, Go for it.

You are dead wrong.

But, let me prove it.
Do you see this post as a troll?
Why or why not?

No - you finally put your brain in gear.
Keep it up.
But don't let your head get TOO big.

The machine as supplied is CRAP - but it doesn't take MUCH to make it
half-assed decent. Get a steel plate welden in place of the
fence-post.
Put proper bolts (a bit bigger because the fit is sloppy) into
properly re-drilled holes, and install washers where necessary to take
out the slop in the linkages.. Cut the big handle in half and drive in
a rod or sched 40 pipe , then weld the thing back together - now it's
strong enough to do the job without turning into a pretzel.

Then you'll find the next weak point (hint - the guy who welded the
base legs was onto something)
When you are done you'll have a useable tire machine that might last
you a while. - still not a GREAT machine - but better than what you
have.

There's a you-tube out there of a guy who made his own - the rubber
tired steel wheel replacing that awfull spider is a good mod - as is
the one I posted before of the guy using rubber tire sidewall
material. Look them up. Think about what the guys are doing and why
instead of just going off half cocked about how it doesn't tell you
anything.

You need to STOP and THINK. If it doesn't make sense. look again and
UNDERSTAND what they did and why. Sometimes the guys on you-tube ARE
wrong - but you won't know untill you look at what they did, how, and
why.

If you don't, your comebacks and (sometimes very) dumb questions make
you look liike an idiot.

If you are gainfully employed the time spent MIGHT be better spent
earning the money to pay someone else to do the job, if the price of
having it done properly by someone who does a good job is the issue.
If you are doing it more because you enjoy it and you really want to
learn how to do things right, and learn about how things REALLY work -
that's a differnt story - but then, take in all the information you
can from those of us who have been there , done that, and got the
tee-shirt greasy. Don't go out of your way to make enemies of the
guys who can help you understand what you don't know....
