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.
Project Trisickle, maybe...

I also thought of a new trick while trying to figure out how to do the wiring on this one. The volt gauge and ignition switch will need a good ground for the magneto kill so I thought I would mount a double sided terminal lug in one of the fuel tank bolts since there was good clean unpainted metal there under the bolts. There's not a lot of places to hide wires on this tractor and I hate seeing extra wires and grounds on bolts so it seemed that was a good place to hide it. New paint is hard on grounds so this will add grounding to the main switch body ground, ground the volt gauge, and the other lug will go down to the extra switch body ground lug (6th terminal) on the newer style magneto switch to make sure there is a really good ground path.
There are some pics below if it's something you would like to try on one of these. You could also add another terminal in the opposite direction to make a place for 4 connections if you need a good grounding point for other things.

The fuel tank went right on in a few minutes then it was time to do a little wiring while it was nice and quiet. I put a few ends on some wires to make a custom harness and thought my plan was going really well until I started to figure where the regulator would be... Now I know why they put it on the engine originally, there's really nowhere else good to put it.
Anyway,,, I thought about the nuts I welded on the backside of the cover when it was off for the starter solenoid and that seems to be the only good place to put a bracket. I'm not sure if I know what I'm doing but we'll see how it works out, it should work, I think...

Grab the right colors off the wire rack, crimp on some ends, match colors with the one on the engine, snap them in, and walla.

Played a little more hooky this morning, made a few battery cables and finished up the wiring. It looks like most of it should be hidden nicely under the hood once it's done.
