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?

Took a little longer than I thought, the 2 end pieces never had the weld ground down where it was welded to the table when I bought it.  The old bench top is all cut up leaving a nice pile of 1/4" steel ready to use that will fit in the iron worker.  Just when I thought I was done I just found another piece 3' long and a piece of 3/8" that needs to be cut down a little.  I need to check around the shop tomorrow morning and see what else is hiding around here but it shouldn't be much.  Should be done by lunch tomorrow.  Progress is coming along and so is the mess...  

At least it's one more thing off the list that's needed to be done for a few years...

Worked on the new welding turn table a little but spent most of the day cleaning up the dusty mess in the shop, on some of the tractors, and 2 of the cars I need to sell when I get a minute...  The floor even got a mopping where the cars sit, I'm really surprised at what got done today.  It's amazing what can get done when I play hooky for a day, the phone is pretty quiet, and no one stops by to bother me lol.  

The C-145 in the pics is one I wanted to keep but I sold it yesterday.  As most peeps know I really want to keep everything but I need to quit that...

My friend Kevin came back up from Etown today.  We went to our usual pizza place, then wired up and put the disconnect in + bracket on the outside for the new split system that will be here Monday or Tuesday.  He's coming back here next Sat to put the rest of the new system in.  He's run about 15 crews for an HVAC business for many years and knows what he's doing.  It also doesn't hurt that he's a little OCD like me... 

We also made a front bolt on hitch setup today for the front of his Kubota, now it has one on front + rear.

Cold weather is here so took it easy today and caught up on some personal stuff + paperwork.  Having an interview at 2 tomorrow to start drawing retirement, (yes I will still do what work I'm doing now, maybe a little less lol), getting a Real ID from the DMV, and renewing my passport book + card. 

Who knows, I may go somewhere warm to warm up in the Winter from time to time.

Retirement paperwork is done and approved, (yes I will still do what work I'm doing now), Real ID from the DMV is done, and I have an appointment next Tuesday to renew my passport book + card.  

My HVAC friend Kevin is coming up tomorrow to install the new split system that came in yesterday and go to the pizza buffet of course. 

The new system has no backup coils or anything to spin the meter off the building like the old ones.  This system has rated performance to -22 and is what they call an Arctic heat pump.  It's 22.5 SEER, Energy Star 4 Certified with Inverter Technology, a variable speed compressor, and a lot of the system runs on DC voltage.  Finally something that both me and the electric bill will like.  

Will put some pics of it up when it's in.

My friend Kevin sent me some pics of the tool box and front hitch brackets we made over the past 2 weekends.  They look good after they were painted + mounted on the tractor.  We've also made a lot of light brackets over time, I think there are about 10 lights on it now, it looks like the Sun at night.

Thanks Nappy.    I could use some time off but I'm not sure about a surfboard being involved. 

The guy on the ladder is my friend Kevin.  It took a lot longer than expected but that happens with trying to get everything right when ribbed metal is involved...  We had to run 2x4's from the top to the next lower girt for the mount, then figure and cut the metal to put under it.  I wanted the lower piece removable in case we ever need to get to it for service, and the metal on each side of it still removable.   It's installed and working great, that thing really puts out the heat and the electric meter moves slower with it running wide open than with the shop lights on, I am totally impressed.  It was late Sat when we got done so I didn't get a chance to update here.  I still have to get the lines in the wall, get the wireless setup in it, tape the lines, and tidy up a few things but hopefully that will all get done today.   

I have another tractor coming to restore from Northern Ohio around 2pm today so I have to get some of this mess cleaned up this morning before it gets here.

Took a few minutes off from working on Jeremy's 753 today and ran out for lunch and get my passport renewed.  I'm finally caught up on everything travel wise and will be able to go anywhere in the world again here soon...  Now I just need to get myself motivated to leave the shop again lol.

Came out early this morning and finished up the new split system.  I've been using the lathe in a tight spot with an extension cord run to it to do the work on Jeremy's tractor and it was a bit of a pain to get to...   

One more thing off the list.
