Steve,
I worked in a garage while I was in High School (55 plus years ago). The only tire changer we had was a manual unit and I've changed scads of tires with it. The pictured unit is not exactly like the one that we had. It looks like the bar that is used to roll the bead off, and subsequently back onto the rim, is standing behind the unit with just the head of the tool visible above (behind) the unit. If that's the bar, it is much less stout than the one we had. Also, we had a manual bead breaker so I'm not sure about the pneumatic bead breaker, if that's what this one has.
All in all, I'd love to have a manual tire machine. A little soap on the tire's bead, and you're good to go.

Oh yeah, one other thing. To seat the bead of tubeless tires against the edge of the rim to enable us to inflate the tire, we had a small, inflatable ring that went around the tire right in the middle of the tread. When inflated, it would push the sidewalls of the tire out to meet the rim, thus sealing the sidewall to the rim.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
