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.

#10 - Test everything out.  If it all works well you can do the final polishing work and painting and that's it.  

Some pics of it finished.  It can now be adjusted from holding itself up, or making a lot more down pressure for much faster cuts.  It also adjusts much faster than it did due to the threads per inch decrease.

I just thought of something else for even faster adjustments when need be.     I'll put that in here later when it's done...

OK, so I called Kevin, sent him a link to this post to look at, and told him my last idea...  He started laughing and then we were both laughing and saying it was overkill. 

Then I headed to the back to wash up and saw the handle sitting there on the saw... 

I said to myself "oh it wouldn't take long and be so cool". 

I took the handle off, pulled the rubber off, then cut the closed end off.  Then I got out a punch to round out the end so it could get a 5/16 flare nut put in it.  A light hammering to get the flare nut in, a little welding and clean up on the lathe and it was done.  It's sorta the same setup as the quick trailer jack setups I made a few weeks ago and uses the same 1/2" socket.  After a grade 8 washer and grade 9 bolt in the end it is now the fastest adjustment on the planet LOL. 

Don't tell me I'm crazy, I already know.
