I spent some rainy day time in the shop.

Someone could get hurt with any machine. You just have to be careful and give it the respect it deserves. A hydraulic ram and a big steel plate won't care if you get your fingers or entire arm stuck in there. It's gonna do it's job whether or not your body parts are in there or not. Once you realize that, you're golden.

......I think it's a kinda cool old tire machine. ....and it still works good!
