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?

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
I can't see the forest for the trees.

Chevelle maybe or nova.....................Geno wrote: I forgot to mention,,, since the steamer was out I went a little cleaning crazy, one thing just leads to another you know...
The dually had some mud on it so it got cleaned up, then part of a frame off restoration I actually started on 31 years ago (eek lol), the frame was in a barn and was one of the last things moved and is still on the trailer hooked to the dually so it got cleaned up. As the frame was getting cleaned it got stuff all over the trailer, shop, and everything around it so it all had to be cleaned too. Good thing I was about out of diesel by the time that was all done or hard telling what else I would find to do...
Just for fun I'm wondering if anyone can tell what the frame is. It is a 1968 big block convertible (of course lol) car. If someone knows their old Chevy's the 3 pics should make it easy to narrow down, If not the 3 front end pics I have left for later should do it. Any guesses?

Good guesses Nappy, you're on the right track. 
It is a shorter sports car type 2 door like that, you must have noticed the frame isn't very long... Another hint then I'll put up front pics tomorrow, look closely at the factory fuel tank location, the gas cap is on the tank where it goes as well.

You win the prize John, it's a corvette convertible. 
Not many cars had the gas tank or cap in the body in that location, as for the Corvair though,,, the tank was in the front with the filler door in the left front fender and the engine was in the rear lol.
The next hints in the front end pics would have been the steering setup, massive front sway bar, and through holes in the cross member for the exhaust pipes. I never thought I would need to post pics of the rear end but that would have done it for sure with the single horizontal leaf spring setup and a rearend stump with 3 u-joint holders for the independent suspension. I forgot to get those parts off the rack and clean them the other day when I was going steam crazy...

I'll prob get the rest of the chassis parts cleaned up this spring and on it then sell it and let someone else finish it, I have a few too many projects all over the place already and would like to down size. One of them is sitting on a rack in here that I look at every day...

Today was a day of doing some vehicle check overs and oil changes before cold weather comes in in dad's truck, mom's STX, the CTS and Escalade. We've been blessed beyond belief with all this nice warm weather including 60+ today, then 65 or better tomorrow, and Sat. It has made for good weather to move things around in the shop and get organized. There are even 3 of mine inside for the night with a little room to spare. Sunday on the other hand is looking like around 20 at night and maybe our first snow, grrrrr lol. :cold
Tomorrow will be a final look around at the part of the farm that was sold to move a few small things and the air compressor out of the old shop and make it ready for it's new owner on Sat. One more thing off of the list.
Some peeps showed up today now that I'm back in the shop for the most part and bought a nice 10" Brinley plow and dozer blade, and the 145 Auto I put on CL last night may be sold as well. I even had some time to do a little mopping, it doesn't do as good as the floor scrubber and in most pics the floor looks ok, until you see a clean spot like the pic below...
I have a few I guess you could call them resolutions for the new year and one of them is to narrow work time for the public down to around 60 hours a week so I can do a lot better at keeping the shop and property cleaner than I have been over the past few years, and take some convertible rides when it gets warm. :smile2

Everything at the farm is done, that's a lot of pressure off of me to get dad and myself done with sorting and moving 45 years of stuff. I also no longer have to see the "NEW FARM OWNER TAKES POSSESSION \\\ HAVE TO CLEAN OUT BY DEC 31" at the top of my daily scheduler in the puter every morning when it pops up.
The new owners stopped by yesterday morning when we were finishing up and they really have no interest in the buildings, they only want the land so I asked them to think about what they wanted for the buildings and land in front of them for access to them. It would be weird to move back there after moving everything out lol. They also bought the farm next door to dad last year and I asked them about that house and barns that are really nice that they have no interest in and used to be owned by one of the Governors of KY. Who knows what the Lord has in store but we'll pray and see...
They are big soybean farmers with thousands of acres in the county. They already started on pushing out all the fences on the farm next door to dad and wouldn't be surprised if they do the same thing on what part of the farm dad sold them and made it one big open space with nothing but soybeans as far as the eye can see. It would sure be a pretty site to see.
