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 found this to be helpful,
Take special note of the valve return spring and the configuration of the valve itself. Also, it’s not obvious in the picture, but the right-hand stub shaft that holds the driven gear, is 1/2″ diameter. In a Cub Cadet pump, that stub shaft is 3/8″ and the driven gear has a 1/2″ O.D. by 3/8″ I.D. bearing in the gear to fit the smaller shaft. The Wheel Horse pump contains no bearing.
I managed to find a new spring that can be ordered from JC’s Farm &Garden Supply. It is part number 4837 and their phone number is (219) 299 4708. They also carry replacement gears. They have the replacement spring for the pump like the one used on a Cub Cadet as well, Part No. 5281, If you want to order parts from them, just call the number above and leave a message. John will call you back. Do Not use the JC’s Supply website. It belongs to a previous owner and has no connection to the present owner. )
In the picture, the “legs” of the spring are bottomed in the holes they are inserted in and the center of the spring just reaches the top of the valve body. That meant the legs had to be shortened the depth of the slot in the valve body. I used a depth gage to determine that depth and cut off the appropriate length. (Notice the top roll pin extending out of the bottom of the valve body in the picture above. After the center of the spring is “bottomed out” in the slot, that roll pin is driven back in and holds the spring in position.)
I found that a 7/16″ socket worked well for driving the seals into place. As with the Cub Cadet pump, I used two seals.
It’s a little difficult to see, the there still a little of the oil return hole showing. After inserting the shaft, I replaced the cap. There’s no seal. It’s only necessary to tighten the screws to hole the cap in place.

Little mod needed to install the HY-3 on the 1045, an inverted 90 1/8 - 1/4, found at Napa! One Quart Oil Can Made In USA," Tractor Supply", perfect.

Viola! Found the missing rectangular seat! I also broke open a vintage gallon can of IH Red, Valspar. Anyone notice the color match between Rustoleom Sunrise Red, Valspar IH Red?
