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 are 2 more up next. Building an engine turn table, and a welding turn table. First up is the engine turn table, I started on it last night. I have some stuff out of mom's bookstore she had for 35 years that we closed a few years ago, so it's time to put it to use. I started with the base of a fixture that was in the back and stripped it down to the turn table and rolling base. The turn table is extremely heavy and will make the base for this project. It has 1/2" bearings in it that are caged. I can still use the rolling base for something else so it's a win win.
I also discovered the Onan engine plate has holes in it not only for the Onan, but in the opposite direction 2 holes line up on a K or M Series Kohler, and all 4 line up with a Kohler or Tecumseh riser plate. This is the progress from last night and some pics from today of the different mounting line ups. The Onan mounts where the rusty spots are in the opposite direction as most of you know.

I'm still not sure what the top plate will be, the Onan plate would be easy but I'm gonna sleep on it since it's already late and I'm hungry lol.

I ended up cutting another piece for the top that is 12 x 12 x 1/8" steel. The turn table is 1/8" as well and has a lot of surface area so it should do well. There are holes punched in it toward the outside so they will clear the bottom bolts. They may not get used but the holes are there just in case. It may get Velcro under the top to hold the plate in place and keep the outer top smooth so nothing gets in the way when something is put on it.
The bottom base is mounted and the top is painted so it can dry overnight. It should be easy to finish up tomorrow.
