If you get a bead that wont brake down put a little air in the tire to stiffen the side wall a little. Also never take the jam nut all the way off before you finish airing the tire, if the bead breaks or tire blows while its on the machine it most likely wont hurt you. Always keep the palm of you hand on the top of the tire bar as it rotates just in case it pops out, I had a tire store for years and had a guy that got a tooth knocked out when the bar jumped of the bead of the tire, years ago I bought a N.O.S Coats 20/20 from a municipality that broke the operators arm on the first tire they tried to change and pushed the machine in storage for years and years. Since all your tire shops now have to have rim clamp changers there are a lot of Coats 30/30, 40/40s pushed in the tire stores corners collecting dust, thats what I would look for, I bought a 40/40 for $50 that needed a part and was abandoned with its tooling from a tire store that wanted to clean up a bit.
