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.

My RJ58 has a noisy trans, guess I'll have to live with it. I rebuilt the trans put in all new bearings, bushings, seals and gaskets. I replaced the idler pulley with a new one and run a 85wt to120wt gear oil. All works fine, very smooth but noisy.

I haven't been in one of those but it sounds like a shimming issue to me.

Can't believe I missed this post Motor. My 3 piece 5010 also has gear noise which I attribute to the straight cut gears, just like most of the older transmissions (easier to manufacture). Actually I think the "whine" kind of :cool

Go figure, my '58 is a bit noisy as well, however the much less expensive ball of rust aka 1960 Suburban, is as quiet as a church mouse.
