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.

Here are a few pics before cleaning things up. The main drive pulley has been loose for awhile and will need to be replaced, there is also a little damage to the crankshaft but I think if it's cleaned up, a new pulley and locks should last for quite awhile. PTO bearings are bad, and the disc and bell need to be resurfaced. There's water and some other goo in the transmission as well, this pic before cleaning is so I don't get the blame after steam cleaning it lol.

After all the PTO parts were cleaned up and checked out everything is getting replaced. There were no retainers inside to hold the race and it was spinning on the shaft, you can see the marks on the inside of the race next to a good used one I got out. The spring setup that pushes out the bell on the older models all came apart and chewed up the bell where the outer bearing stop is. I got out a nice used bell, blasted it and it is like new. The replacement bell and old clutch disc were resurfaced today and are ready to go. The close up of the bearing shows one of my fav things at the top - USA. This part of the job can be put back together in the morning to check things out. The only thing missing is the inner bearing seal, I thought I had more but they're not where they belong or I ran out and was too busy and forgot to order more... Either way I have 30 more on order and they will be here next week.
The last pic has a tool I made labeled PTO to set the backstop for the seal and is used to press the bearing in. I like easy, easy is good.

Everything was put back on the tractor to check out the adjustment and I noticed the tower was moving a lot which brings us to the next problem in the last pic...

The transmission has been drained + refilled, the new shifter has been blasted, painted, and installed along with a new set screw, lock, and boot. The shifter top plate was pretty rough and bent up so it was removed, straightened out, smoothed up, blasted + painted. The shift levers were also adjusted a little. It's getting close now.

Next week it will be time to tackle the tiller...
I'm already on the new time so it's time to go, I move it up in the morning to shorten the day, not my sleep.
