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.

There was a single needle bearing missing on the input side of the input shaft, and no seal at all, no seal was even installed. The bearings also ran sideways because of this and damaged the input shaft... There was also a single needle bearing missing from one of the rear shaft bearings, and the other rear bearing was locked up. The input shaft retaining clip was sprung and the gear and shaft were walking around.
I'm getting ready to get out some new bearings, clean up the shafts, and see what we got. And YES, someone has been in it before. :angry

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

This is the one I just bought and thought it would be easy... I have several people coming this weekend and one person wants a tiller with a tractor and some other things so I thought I would fix it.

I used the clean up the shafts on the lathe trick, that thing comes in handy and does things fast. The seals should seal and the main input shaft should be ok, you can see the little ridge on it where the bearing damaged it from the needle missing but it's very slight. We have all of the parts in stock NOS to do several of these. Will let the paint dry overnight and put it back together tomorrow.

Well you do have a point there... and there's a fine line between hoarding and running a business like yours...so the way I see it is its hoarding till somebody needs something then its a business deal.......................and on the other hand I wish I could hoard like you and make money at the same time......:smile2
