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.

What's everybody doing?

I had the same problem with the light rear end Kurt. I got hung really bad last year so I put smaller fluid filled tires on it, chains with teeth, and built a box that goes over the top plow mount to stack weights in. The weights are 55lb I think and there's 6 back there. It was probably overkill but the thing would go anywhere lol. :rolling

We are think alike Geno. This is just about what I did. I used 5 - 25 lb. barbell weights in addition to 70 lb. cast wheel weights. I can add more barbell weights if I need to.

I was using the 70lb cast wheel weights and chains with my single stage and that was not enough when I tried to back up - up hill with the blower raiseed. I thought my two-stage was going to need more - much more.

Also, I'm going to try some rubber chains this year. We'll see - the steel chains are ready to go on if need be.

Sorry, but the system won't let me post pictures.

I never tried using rubber chains, I never thought they would be good on ice. I'll look into the pic thing. :)

Pic thing is working now! Thanks,

I've never tried rubber chains before. They get good reviews. Steel chains were making a mess of my driveway, so they are worth a try.

I agree with the ice comments, probably worthless.

Now that pics are work, below is a pic of my hitch and weights.

Plans, you think I have plans...........

Actually it was quite simple. I purchased a 2" receiver tube. Add some 3X1-1/2" channel and some 1-1/2" angle and I have a hitch.

Here is a pic with some other weights I tried.

Here is another pic Geno. Wish I had taken more. It shows the main body as I was painting it. If you want some dimensions, just ask and I'll get some.

Also, I made some supports that go from the main hitch down to the rod through the original hitch. I made them from 1 X1/8" steel welded to a couple of spacers made from 3/4" pipe. I bolted these to the upper hitch just so I had some adjustment. This hitch worked well, it easily held my 260lbs. Simple to remove too if I put my plow on.
