Weaver Balloon Tire Spreader

Post by Brian D » Fri Jul 09, 2021 4:46 am

While on patrol yesterday driving past an old "junk" yard I see this scrapper using a Weaver Baloon Tire Spreader. I had to stop. He uses this daily for fixing tires.
This is T era?
He also has a Weaver wrecker boom, frame and gears look good except one boom arm welded. Gears good n turns fine.
He's willing to sell!
Any info on the value of these?

People who wonder if the glass is half empty or half full, miss the point. The glass is refillable.

I sold a restored 3 Ton Weaver wrecker boom for $1800. They originally had 30’ of chain. Most I’ve seen lately used incorrect cable.

Seems one is for sale on this site for $100.

Might look good in your T barn :D
