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...

The plan for tomorrow morning is to mow, then get the sprayer hooked up and filled with 24D and spray the yard, I haven't done it in years but time is being made to do it this year. :smile2 It's supposed to warm up all night tonight and be 60+ by 8AM tomorrow morning with a high of over 75 tomorrow so it will be a good day for working outside until the winds kick in tomorrow afternoon bringing in the thunderstorms tomorrow night...
If I can get the yard work done by a little after lunch before the winds kick in tomorrow I may come back in the shop and finish the prep, and paint the fenders and hood then the painting will be all done.

It was such a nice day today that I ended up doing a lot of outside work so they can be painted tomorrow. I don't think anything is better than being outside in the Spring after being couped up over the Winter. :smile2

Side + belt guards are on, fenders are on, oil drain pipe was redone and lengthened a bit, oil is changed, a few more decals are on. I ran into an issue with the breather cover being too deep and it hit the hood, it didn't have an original one on it when I got the tractor and when I got one out for it I wasn't thinking lol.
I got out a correct one today and it's blasted and I just got through painting it so it will be ready tomorrow. Won't be in the shop much tomorrow, my friend Kevin is coming here to finish up the heat pump in dad's new barn and go out for pizza.

Spent most of the day doing a little rearranging and fixing things around the shop. I did manage to get the hood decals on and put the shorter air filter + breather cover on.

The only trick will be making it look like it's professionally done and sorta fits the tractor without being too out of place... I got a good start on it late this afternoon cleaning up and modifying an old adapter so 2 set screws can hold it to the shaft. I'll get more pics of it up hopefully tomorrow.

Hardest thing was finding a wheel that was a little over 13" diameter like the originals for good clearance to the lift arm and this one works well. The horn button I got for the steering wheel had to be modified and that's where most of the time went.
There's a 3 hole to 6 hole adapter on the piece I made up for it a few days ago that the steering wheel bolts to. The horn button was disassembled, then the inside electrical parts were removed from the casing, the bottom of the casing was smoothed down to clear the bolts for the adapter, the ground loop was cut off of the spring, then it was all put back together. The button still moves like it should it just won't work if anyone tries to hook a horn to it lol.
All it needs now is a 1 1/2" or so Wheel Horse emblem in the center then it will look a lot better.

I'm finally running out of things to do, this one has turned out to be a lot more work than I thought but you never know what you're gonna get into until you get going on one...
