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.

'Hub Cap' or 'Wheel Cover' was created by GlenPettit
A Hub Cap is a small Rubber or metal cap that covers only the hub or exposed axel, usually 1–3" in diameter, also called a 'dust cap', usually a press fit that snaps on.
A Wheel Cover is larger and covers almost the entire metal wheel, usually a fancy Chromed metal (or often plastic today) and held on with 3-4 spring clips, and covers both the center hub & the lug nuts, leaving only the rubber tire exposed.
The Wheel is the rigid circular metal frame that the rubber Tire fits onto and around. The circular outside Rim is welded to the center hub-axle-lug nut assembly, these two pieces now become a Wheel.

Both names are often used wrong and inter-changed, even in printed advertising; these are the common dictionary definitions.
Because we do make the rubber Hub Caps for these Garden Tractors, 1.25, 1.5, 1.62 & 2"ID sizes, I'm very familiar with these terms and the confusion, argument, misuse they often get.
