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.

I have a friend, actually the person I bought the mill and lathe from that gave me a price I couldn't refuse on some new equipment. He works at a large distributor in the neighboring town. I usually buy the old stuff and fix it up but for almost 1/3 the price for new I couldn't pass these up. They are $1,500.00 new each no matter where you go, Northern Tool, Amazon, ect, the retail is pretty fixed. For $550.00 each new how could I say no lol. Dad and I just got them back and unloaded. :smile2

I'll put some feedback on them once they've been put to work. :thumb1

I spent yesterday afternoon at the welding shop working on some of their equip and building a stand to raise the drill press up about 16". It should put the work piece up close to eye level. It's way overbuilt but they were scraps so it didn't cost much of anything and the 1/4" thick 4" square tubing will make it real stable lol. All that's left is to clean it up, paint it and put the casters on it. :thumb1


It can also double as something I can put a car on and roll it around on. :rolling

Well we now have to redefine "Overbuilt" with a picture of this in the dictionary. It must weight more than the drill. :rolling4 :surprised :hi5

It is pretty heavy. :rolling When I was at the welding shop the owner told me that someone bought a bunch of 1/4" x 4 steel tubing pieces and they wanted it cut a certain length. Then they brought it back and said they measured 12" too long so they cut 12" off of each piece. Since they had already paid for it and didn't want it they left it there so he said I could have all of it I wanted. The real reason it is so over built is free stuff rules lol. :tounge2

I really like the height and ability to move it around. The first pic is taken with the camera at my eye level. The mounting kit came in yesterday and the cross slide vise will be here tomorrow, then it will be ready for work. Thumb1

Now I just need to do a little rearranging. :confused1
