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.

My new favorite caliper was created by Geno
I have always wanted a digital one that does fractions and finally found one on clearance from one of my suppliers with a price I could live with. Price - $20.00. :woo

cool never ran across one that reads out in fractions...
but its just plain amazing what can be made today at little cost,
you paid $20 for it and the seller still made money as did the maker of it.
30 years ago i bought a mitutoyo "dial" caliper that was top notich because it was just a 0.100 per rev.
paid well over $100 for it and took fire because it was imported
my son once referred to a micrometer as this" C clamp thing"
i hate to say it i am getting old and times are changing


I picture Geno laying out air lines with a michinists level and laser transit
than cutting pipe to size to be checked with his new calipers.

Who told you I would do that?! :ignore


OK, I guess I do stuff like that, I sorta did the shop air lines like that and have those tools, and an electric pipe threader. But, if I could find someone else to do things halfway right I wouldn't have all these tools and all this work to do! I think you know the feeling... :rolling

I hear you Geno sometimes it just dont pay.
Pride mixxed with talent and common cents arent such a bad thing.

i am sure anyone of us on here has regret hiring out work.
been in spots that were so bad i could not even reuse anything.
having to redo a job hurts
but paying for labor and buying parts twice sucks.

Very cool caliper! That's a tool I use almost daily but I wouldn't know how to act if mine read fractions.:smile2

I just wanted fractions so I could nudge it a little open or closed to see what it's close to in 16ths. Quicker than going to a calculator or computer. :)
