Please help identify this old tire changer

I picked up this old tire changer yesterday. It has a tag with numbers, but no name. Does anyone have any idea on who the manufacturer might be?

If that contraption is a tire changer I can change tires way faster with a jackall and tire spoon. Least if we had better pictures to go by.

Its a "bushman" 881sa tire changer.

I have also seen them called a bishman tire changer.
 
In 59-60 I did a lot of tire changes and repairs on a similar machine. I was 16/17years old,working at a local service station Simple, effective, and a LOT of hard work. We had a bubble balancer attachment that we used on every tire sale. Worked well on the narrower wheels and tires of the day.

I sure hate to use one on today's alloy wheels and low profile tires though.
 
it looks like a nice machine. i have an old Coats 50 manual but does have a cylinder to break the lower bead. i also have a May machine, air over electric. both work great. i see no problems with yours, i dont understand the naysayers.

Me neither. I'm just happy to have something to make life easier
 
I have a Bishman that is similar to that but mine has electric turning center post for
removing and installing tires and an air cylinder in the back to break them down. Don't remember the model # and I'm not going out in the 28 degree cold to look. It works well and have had it for years. 🧑‍🌾
