Big Sale Has Started - UPDATED 07-31-25 (01 Apr 2025)
As some of you know my dad passed away 2 months ago today, on May 31, 2025. I posted it in the Members Only section when it happened. Thanks to all of you who have offered kind words on the forum, with phone calls, and visits in person during this time.
The Big Sale is on but not like originally planned, it is a by appointment type of thing now. I don't have the manpower, or the desire to do a big event like originally planned, I just need to sell a lot of parts that are taking up too much space here. I have been told and believe we are overloaded with Wheel Horse parts like no one has ever seen. Peeps have already been coming in from different parts of the country and buying a lot of stuff due to seeing the sale page, and seeing we are the only Wheel Horse only business in the USA that does things on the scale we do. The sale will continue for awhile until I free up some more space but you may not want to wait too long as things are being sold every day and there are limits to how many of certain parts will be sold.
As it says on the page it is still under construction and the page isn't finished yet. I've had a ton of calls for parts and the Big Sale Page may help answer some questions about what is here before peeps call. I hope that page is also clear that we DO NOT SHIP anything... This is a by appointment type of thing now. Be sure to call before you come to make sure the day isn't already full with peeps scheduled to come in, and make sure what you want is still available.
PTO Clutch Disc DIY

First remove the PTO pulley for access to the friction disc retaining bolts.
Now is a good time to check the grease seal and bearings for wear. If the disc has grease on it do yourself a favor and replace the seal!
Here is a good example of a bad seal.
After removing the clutch disc drill out the back of the rivets and punch them out to remove the disc from the backing plate.
Now rough the surface of the backing disc with a sander or grinder so the adhesive will have something to grip.
Measure and mark 1.3 inches from the edge of the center hole outward in several locations then place the new disc over the marks and outline the circumference.

Apply JB-Weld or you favorite epoxy to the area outside the mark on the backing disc.
Carefully place the new disc on the backing plate aligning it with the center marking.
Apply light pressure to the assembly and allow 24 hours to cure. A press is great if you have one but a brick would work if that's all you have. Just be sure that the disc stays centered!
After 24 hours your new disc is ready to reassemble and you saved >$50 in the process!

I have a press, but always looking for new life hacks.
