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.

The tin looks real good, makes the paint look extra nice when completed. With the availability of good parts that tractor should be first class. Looking forward to the progress photos. I love red painted stuff.......

My 854 had the same problem, it kills me when people take what they think is the path of least resistance. For me replacing the belt would have been the easier option.

the paint looks good, krylon right. I am wondering, what is the shade of the white and is it also krylon. The wheels on my 854 are a bright white and I am going to change them back to an off white. when I finished the RJ with the correct color wheels I can compare the two and I like the RJ factory color better. I know Krylon dries fast so I think that's what I will use for the wheels. Thanks.

I use the Krylon Ivory Gloss Motor. Not the Dual, the one below that. It's $3.62 here at Wal-Mart. The Dual dries too slow for me. The insides of the wheels weren't painted except for the bead lip and around the valve stem where a small area was sandblasted and done around it. You can see a little in the pics that it is almost a perfect match to the original, the only big difference is the shine. :)

Thanks Guys. The only real trick to painting is plenty of light, and some OCD doesn't hurt either. :rolling3
