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.

What's everybody doing?

For sure GT, I'm glad to see this over so I can get back to tractoring, it's a lot easier work... :smile2

The carnage pile is bigger than expected but I guess it's good because that means less things to do later. Everything is good so far, I ran it in for 1 hour yesterday and will do another 1 hour run in today then it gets wrapped up. :woo

Been out cruising around in the Escalade a little, almost all the tools are put up from that job, did some maintenance on dad's truck, and the shop looks weird, but it's a good weird with all the mess put up and the rack clear. :woo

Tomorrow is rearranging the furniture a little and getting the iron worker a spot. I can't wait to get back to my normal routine and the next tractor to do is already here. :thumb1

Dad and I started some rearranging today. Since the selling of attachments is going away, and parts pallets take up less space, the pallet racks can be changed up with more beams and shelving. I had 1 extra set of beams and shelving but need to go get more here soon. :thumb1

I also think I've sold 4 of my old 68-72 Chevy trucks, 1 of them in the 4 car garage, and a lot of parts for them in the air compressor room that will make a lot more space. :smile2 I have way too much stuff, 18 vehicles are a bit too much lol. :doh

We were so busy last year that we didn't take any new business for over 6 months, that's how long it took to finish all the restores and work that was already here waiting... :whew Things got overwhelming, the business was growing way too fast, and it was time for some changes.

There are about 250 posts in this topic about it lol. OK, Here We Go Topic

After reviewing the correct topic I remember this. Unfortunately when this all started for you overtime kicked in for me and I was what seemed to be meeting myself coming and going! I missed out on a lot of what was going on, being sold, restored. etc... I have been trying to go back and and catch up but it’s a lot to go thru. I just hope everything went well and is now in the shape you pictured in your mind when you started or better. I just hope that one day I can make a long weekend and at least come down and see you (face to a name) and see the shop where your works of art takes place. I never close the tab I have open for Wheel Horse Stables and the Store. I now know when I need a “hard to find part” where to go.

I did see in one on the pics you had a workhorse tractor in there! My project is on hold but hope to get back on it soon,

I read that entire topic last night and it even surprised me. All I can do is thank the Lord for making so much happen and that I had the stamina to do what all was done last year and much much more than what is posted on the forum. This year is moving along even faster and better, everything will shape up around here in time. I bought this property in 1995 and built this building in 1997, so I'm trying now to clean up 26 years of collecting things lol. :laughing

You are welcome here anytime Bill, just give me a call before you plan to come so I can make sure to be here. I'm taking a lot of time off this year to live some life, get all the property fixed and cleaned up, help dad around the farm and hang out with him as soon as it gets a little warmer. :thumb1

Heck, I may even get out and find a girlfriend lol. :tounge2 :rolling3

Thanks for the welcome! I would call first since I hate :angry2 when someone just pops in with no heads up and they want to do something. I just hope this year is better for ALL in always possible :hi5. I’m just so glad I found Wheel Horse Stables. You have been a wealth of information for me. It’s not everyday you find people on a site that is willing to help as much as the :horse Wheel Horse people have been to me. I love my tractors and enjoy riding them. I have learned so much about how stout these machines are with just a little TLC each time you you use them. I just hope I can someday pay it forward to the next generations so this wonderful hobby can continue.
