Hello,
I too recently purchased a Big Four tire changer machine and suggest the first parts you need to check are the "check valves" on the air cylinder and the two air valves for operating the center post. My tire changer looked great but would not function properly. I could make it work fine if I placed my finger over the check valves previously mentioned. I discovered that all of the checkvalves were missing the rubberized diaphragm inside the check valves. This diaphragm is exactly the diameter of a US copper penny and about the thickness of 1 1/2 pennies. I purchased some rubberized cork gasket material and it worked fine, but I doubt it will last very long. I am looking for a gasket material that is rubber with cloth inside (vulcanized). My tire changer works great and I hope to use it many years without breaking both arms in the process of using it. It is a beast when it comes to power and makes mounting and dismounting a tire very easy. Note: you will not be able to find parts for this tire changer. I purchased two of them and the only part I have needed is the diaphragm I mentioned earlier. The piston in one of my machines was cracked and I had to weld/repair it and it functions fine now.
In 2010, Kyle Turner was Mark Martin's front tire changer on the #5 car and Josh Kirk was the rear tire changer.

I have a mark III. I read online (can't remember where) that the company was bought out years ago. The only place to find parts now is at auctions etc. Good Luck.
The four gospels; Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
You can find the seat wiring diagram for the Mark VIII in a Haynes repair manual. The book is available at book and auto parts stores.

You have it a bit wrong. Yes, there are four Gospels but Mark is the name of only one: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
I am also having trouble finding parts. I need a new paddle. Did you find what you were looking for? I have found some on ebay occasionally
Did you ever find the maker of this mark? I have four cups with the same mark (although I have been debating on whether it is a K or an R) and haven't been able to find anything.
If you don't have a shop manual, your nearest Lincoln or Ford parts department.
