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.

Fellas, I might look at a charger 12 hydromatic, all I know so far is it doesnt run. I dont even know the year, from the 2 pictures I have seen of it I note there is no attachment lift handle, I see there is a control down between your legs so I assume a hydro lift also. The question is, without it running can it be pushed to get it on a trailer? Also the owner is asking 450 for it, is that a fair price to ask? Personally I was thinking to offer maybe 350, but I dont want to take advantage either, its some old timer in his 80s. The pictures are on red square, the member named buzz in south jersey, its his friend that is selling it. Any information you guys can give me will help with my decision. Oh, I dont think there is a deck either, not sure on that yet.

Thanks fellas, Glenn

I get calls on my CL ad every day with someone selling a tractor that doesn't run. I've gotten burned a few times and I have a canned answer for everyone. Lots of unanswered questions if it doesn't run, is the trans is any good, does it charge, what works and what doesn't? I pay $100.00 tops, tractor only, if it doesn't run and that is absolutely final.


Never listen to this "Everything worked and it ran last year when I parked it" garbage.  :nono :laughing

I'm with Geno on this one. I'd go 100 bucks if theres no attachments. 450 is way to much to spend on a guess. Really, unless you really know a lot about engines and how to determine if they will run and about hydros then I'd stay away from it unless he would do 100. And Kohlers are prone to get an egged journal, so it might knock. Now there is ways to find out if there is a knock, but most people wouldn't allow you to do that to their machine. I bet you could get her running, and I would put my money on it that the rear is good (especially if its a sun-strand). Thats what I got to say.

Way too many decks
1966 f100

There is a valve under the seat to release the tranny.....and there is a tranny lock so the belt tensioner will have to be engaged....... Buzz in South Jersey....been a member on RS for a while.....it is a good looking tractor..
I have a Charger....the Chargers and the Electras have a real good rear in them....yes hydrostatic.....hydro lift was an option for the Charger (I stole an assembly from an Electra), all Electras had it plus an electric clutch.....

Yea Gene, like Bob says its a friend of Buzzs tractor. Buzz is the red square guy. I am not 100 percent sure, but I dont think his friend is a RS guy. When I hear the prices you guys pay for the wheel horse you find,,,,,,,,,I am ready to fall over. Lol

Thanks Bob + Glenn, makes more sense now. :)


I just don't pay a lot for something that I have no idea what I'm getting. Been burned a few times too many and there are more that show up every day. I just priced a Charger 12 auto to Rhodes for $350.00 and it runs, drives, charges, and everything works. It's also been serviced, wheels and everything painted except the sheet metal...
