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.

I think we may have found a little nicer steering wheel for it too. :)

Can I send it to you for fixing Major? You should get into some of this fixing stuff for other people. :smile2


We ordered some samples from the cap people for the tach-a-matic and deck lift buttons, and some hole plug samples for the electric clutch switch hole and hour gauge hole. The samples should be here first of the week and if all works out and we make an order it shows up the next day. We've wanted to do this for a long time not just for stock, but they will be for sale also. The plugs were pretty hard to find, especially the 2" hour gauge one.

Still have to replace the ignition switch because the key won't stay in. Gotta do something with the exhaust, and get the headlight assy in. I think that's about it, It's running now and everything else is working like it should. :)

I think that one had springs Nappy. The older ones had no springs and I like the look a lot better. I think it was the early 70's when they added them. Plus with that seat being so comfortable there's not much need for them. :)
