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.
New Iron Worker is on the way

If you remember the delay was due to electrical problems, seems they weren't very careful taking things apart to find the problem. There is a lot of broken coated metal conduit with sharp edges up against high power 3 phase wiring all over the machine. After that is all replaced then we need to see if it actually works. I'll put one of several pics I sent them showing the damage was there when they wrapped it up, and others I found when it was unboxed and unwrapped, of course there is no damage to the machine or crate at all... Most of the fabricators kit was not in there as well. This could be another good thing, I can fix the damage if they send me parts and some more free tooling for my labor.
:smile2They have been super good to me so far, we'll see how far this part of it goes.

The station opposite the punch is something that can accept any tooling I can think up to make for it based on the original station design for mounting it because it is a simple arm press design. It also has easily adjustable high and low stops for repetitive work, it will come in handy mostly for bending a lot of parts while keeping them all the same. This machine is gonna be the best thing ever brought in here.
Once I talk to them today and see what's up from here I'll let everyone know and get started on the other plans I had for it once it was here. :smile2

Nice looking machine but can it make tie rods?Geno wrote: On a better note, the machine is an absolute monster and very thoughtfully designed, I had no idea how massive the steel would be in this thing. The press arm piece (#7 in the pic) is 2" thick steel. There is absolutely no doubt that there will be nothing it can not do and much, much more than I need once it's up and working. I couldn't have picked a better machine, and all of the problems so far have resulted in deep discounts and free tooling to make up for the trouble so I was sorta happy to see there may be more more of that in my future lol.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
I can't see the forest for the trees.

The conduit thing is figured out, all of them but one is just not installed correctly. I can cut a wrap off of the broken one on the pedal assy to assemble it correctly. They just uploaded a vid for me to see how to fix them, great service for sure.

The wiring is brilliant, the more I take this thing apart the more I like it. The only thing running 3 phase is the motor itself, single phase 220V is split off of the 3 phase input in the control box running to a transformer that converts all of the control systems to 24V. Control circuits are all just triggering relays and the relays have clear covers so you can see if they are working. It looks complicated in the box but it really isn't.
