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.

416-8 Plowing the Garden was created by M Bailey
The ground here was perfect for plowing today. Decided it was time to put the 416-8 to work pulling the 12" Brinly. Wow! The old Horse did a great job with just chains and no weights, errrrr, except for my 210 pounds. A couple of more weeks and it'll be time to run the disc. :woo

These old Brinly's do a great job when the set up is right. This one is pulling from hole 2L with the right front wheel in the furrow and the pitch set for 6+ inches of depth.

I only have about 20-22 inches between my rear wheels (C-125)....10 inch plow.....should be 1 or 2L for me.....5 inches depth but 6 if possible...
The rear rock shaft setup seems a little tight for me with depth with this tractor....it is like the chain gets tight before it bottoms out...gotta look at it more closely. I'm gonna put the left wheels of the tractor on 5 inches of wood and then adjust the plow to the blacktop for depth....then try for 6 inches....try pulling with the 2L hole first....might have to widen it to the 1 hole to get a good roll... Glad you got yours set good.....

Bob, the space between my wheels is only 19" but for whatever reason, the 2L position works best for lining up the front wheel in the furrow. Here's a couple of pics of how it looks lifted (before I cleaned it off), a lot more pitch than one would think.
