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.

After a good long power washing it looked better but also exposed some of its faults too.
I have not been really good about the picture half of it so far, So as i sit here thinking whats next after i blasted the hood I came to man up and start showing our work. We been going at it slowly hoping to make a mid-summer show.
The h70 engine had bad head gasket when we got it, it's tore down with parts in hand to reassemble. Engine tins are under primer waiting on paintable weather.
Most of the body parts are blasted and are waiting for primer or are under primer.
Rims are also blasted waiting on primer, just need paint able weather.
ill keep you guys posted
not letting me add picture by editing sorry
