Thanks man I've been wanting to set it up for years but life happens . Picked up a second lift today from a guy on cl couldn't pass it up pretty much new for like 300 bucks . I'll load more pictures as I set it up more .

Okay so I finally put together the tire machine and balancer and come to find out I have to order an adapter for motorcycle tires. I'll have to wait on that now . Should have known though it said it could balance motorcycle tires I assumed everything came with it but nope. Oh well here's the set up now just have to anchor the machines down once I run out and get a bit for the rotohammer

Got the adapter for the balancer today, tomorrow I'll see if I can't go get a wheel balanced at a shop somewhere so I can calibrate the machine and start using it .

I may or may not have scored, guy at work is cleaning up a property and there is a nice looking tire machine and balancer there . He wants it gone and has no idea on whether it works or not . Asked if I wanted it so I said hell yeah free is my favorite price lol. I am grabbing it tomorrow and will figure out if it work. Maybe I'll clean them up and have two or sell one if it needs work I'll see what it's gonna take to repair. Worse case I sell them for parts or just junk them .
