History Ken tool tire changer

I have a vintage Ken tool t700 tire changer anyone got any idea on the age of this old girl?

Idk if this belongs here or not I think there used to be a tool thread.

 

You might want to try the "Garage Journal" (sister site). They're more into this sort of thing than we are.

 

Ok thank you

 

In the process of painting it right now bc it lives outside

 

I'm guessing that it is as old or older than I am. I've never seen one before.

 

Yeah I have not seen anything like it before

 

Looks to be quite a combination of function and form. Almost art deco-ish.

Curiosity got the best of me. This is all I could find.

not clear enough to see how it works.

 

Not the same model unfortunately if it was I could figure it out completely

 

It is it actually rotates making discounts 10 times easier. I bet I can peel a tire just as fast if not faster then the powered machines at my dad's tire shop.

I need to make an adapter for my dually wheels the pin don't really reach the 6.5 bolt pattern well might as well make one for the wide 4 trailer tires as well.

 

So I'm going to guess its mid 50's it most likely came out of a full service station around here.
