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.

Time to service the C-101 today. With 32 hours since last years rebuild on the meter and 25 since the last service it was time to get dirty. Greased the axle, spindles, wheels and steering sector. Checked the trans fluid level and cleaned the air pre-filter and blew out the paper filter. I do not oil the pre-filter as I've found that the oil leeches into the paper filter and shortens its usable life.
Get out the tools for the oil change including the handy little oil trough which makes changing oil with a deck on a snap.




2-1/2 quarts of oil and a new sticker under the hood and the old horse is good for another 25 hours.




Putting the wrench size along with oil capacity on the sticker helps out for next time, especially if you're like me and can't remember what you had for breakfast :rolling3

I should have posted this earlier, here's what the drain trough looks like in its entirety. Can't remember where it came from but it's been around for a long time.

If I had one of those I'd know it. I thought about just cutting a piece of PVC pipe in half for starters, then I would have 2. :thumb
