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 underside of my front wheel spindles are grooved from neglected bearings. One solution I was considering was to sleeve them and use oversize bearings.

Ideas please.

Yes I did, had read your post and liked the idea but figured sleeve and oversize bearings would be allot cheaper. Still thinking about it tho, was the surplus store where you got the hubs online?

I would weld up the grove and grind it off to repair the spindle. :)

That's the nastiest mess I've ever seen GT. The inner bearing surface looks ok, all you would have to fix is that deeper groove and where the bearing sits on the outside. :)

That one's as mangled as any I've seen GT. Think I'd find a used one or cut that one off and weld on a new spindle stub. :cents1
