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?

Tractor is all cleaned up and ready for more work on Monday. Some of the parts I know of that are coming from me are blasted, painted, and ready.
I just recently found out one of my neighbors cleans buildings, houses, etc. He came up today and made everything clean again and did a nice job. The cleaners continue to clean and after a few rains it will get even better, he did a nice job. If I knew how cheap these guys were I would have had him do it long ago, he did give me a really good discount too.

Everything is going great here, just busy as usual. Still working and trying to do a little clean up after the monsoon from Hurricane Helene last weekend, and I think the grass has grown up to around 9-10" since last weekend. We got well over 12" of rain here, 12" rain gauges were full so I'm not sure what the total was. I put in a few pics of it, you can barely make out the cars on the highway. It rained like that for most of 2 days...
Someone also called and picked up the 2 Amana PTAC units I had on CL today. The hole is temporary sealed inside and out. My friend Kevin is coming up this weekend so fixing it permanently will be one of the things we do. Now I need to order another mini split for the waiting area and get everything ready for it. Never a lack of things to do around here...

Been too busy to keep an eye on the construction across the street today. My last customer just left that picked up his 520 that got a ton of work done to it, and he bought my last WH truck as well. I did a bunch of rearranging and got it out last Sat for him. Like with the other one we will be restoring it later, he just didn't want it to get away.
Also rebuilding my old trusty coil framing nailer. It acted up in 2003 and I ordered a complete kit to rebuild it back then but by the time the kit got here it straightened itself out. So here we are a little over 21 years later finally using the rebuild kit. You can see the dates from August 2003 on the parts and the box they came in.
Good thing it sat around here for so long I guess, all the parts are made in USA.

My friend Kevin came up last Sat and we put the new mini split in the waiting area that came in last week. Most of today was cleaning up the mess, finishing up some odds + ends on it, caulking everything up, and spray foaming the metal that filled the old hole outside. It's all done minus getting rid of the old hole in the inside wall. It's nice because it puts out a lot of heat and it's so quiet I can't even tell when it's on minus a nice warm breeze if I'm at the computer.

Spent last Sat working on a log splitter for someone, then moved a lot of wood the neighbor wanted gone. I used the new forks for the Kubota that go on the bucket, they made moving this stuff to the blacktop to put on pallets a lot easier. They also work well for other things that won't fit in the bucket, or working off of the blacktop. The wood on the pallets is all hardwood that they had plans to use but never did due to health issues. It was all free so I'll keep some of it and cut a lot of it down to 18" pieces for firewood.

Working, eating, sleeping, cleaning, the usual stuff...
There's a lot of rain coming in tonight and tomorrow morning so I've been working on getting the hardwood pile cut up and put away today. The 2 small pallets are done and some off of the bigger pallet. The big pallet is going to make a lot more of it than I thought but that's ok, it will be a lot of heat.
There's a lot in the small garage and a pretty nice pile going on in the shop. I brought what I was working on around dark to unload in the morning. I figured I can burn it in the mornings to warm up the place more without using the mini split so much.

Worked outside most of the day, looks like it may be the last 65 degree day for awhile. More rain coming in tonight and cold for awhile so I worked on cutting up the hardwood on the big pallet outside. There's still about 1/3 of it left to do. A friend brought me some Ash that's in the wood rack but it's not very good so I've been burning it at night to get rid of it, ease the electric bill, and make room for the hardwood pieces. It should be all burned and gone in the next 2-3 days then I can unload the pallet that was cut up today in it's place.
My radial arm saw blade is about done but it should make it through the rest of this then I can change it.

Looking for deals but nothing much out there during the sales this year, a few little things on Amazon but most things the price went up recently then just came back down to normal and called a sale... Gotta watch these guys.
I've mentioned before I use a thing called Honey that gives me price tracking over the past 30-120 days and emails me when there's a deal. It's here - Honey link It's free and automatically shows up on sites after you join + tell it to watch things on sites.
The only other things done around here besides normal work is the wood rack has more hardwood on it and waiting for another warm day to finish what's left on the pallet outside. It's been cold here lately so I've been hiding out in the shop mostly.

Been trying to wrap up some end of year stuff, buying things for tax deductions, getting ready to start on taxes next week, end of year stuff that I've been doing for 30 years of business here...
Today was 55 and partly sunny and tomorrow a nasty cold front is coming in, it will be mostly below freezing for the next 15 days. I will be staying inside to avoid becoming a meat pop sickle...
Since it was warm today and I usually take the first few weeks of Jan mostly off to do taxes and other little things I decided to bring in my heavy trailer to do some long overdue work on it. The tractors are unloaded and it's in the shop. It's gonna get some maint, a new jack, new lights, maybe some paint, some other little things, and a removable winch put on the front to get ready to move all the tractors and stuff in the barn at the farm up here.
Time for some more fun trailer mods.

Taxes are all done and ready for the tax man. I put everything in Quickbooks and get it all organized then he just has to fill in the blanks from my P+L printout.
Other than that it's still a Winter wonderland outside, staying cold and cloudy all day for awhile. It's supposed to be 38 and partly cloudy on Sunday so maybe some of it will go away then.
