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.

Got the frame painted today. Plan on priming and painting at least the counsel today. Maybe the belt guard or rear fender. Coming along.
The paint I'm using is a car paint so it will be strong. And I think it's close to original. Sorry about bad pic. Sun was in bad position

Thanks Scott.
I have the hood painted too.

On another note, what does everyone think about painting the engine a flat black?

Well I was talking to my friend and he was the one who brought it up. I started thinking I just wanted others opinion. I do like one better but I want to get others opinions first. It would get away from all the red. Get at least some black in there. Can't go wrong with flat black.

If you think about it, it basically would be a similar look to the 300 series TORO/Wheelhorse tractors. The Kohlers are all black. Something unique for an older unit I suppose, but I agree with Scott...everyone has a unique taste and desire of how things should look. My uncle decks his vehicles out with some of the most bizarre things I have ever seen, but they are his vehicles and his style...that makes him happy. Just don't ask me to do the same lol.

Ok. Got all of the big parts painted. The counsel is bolted to the frame. Coming along nicely.
