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.

The pulling guys and lots of others pull them out completely. If you have a machine shop that can balance the crank, rod + piston, I would go that route and take the balance gears out completely. That is what Kohler should have done, but then they would have lasted forever...

The bearings will need a lot of cleaning and blowing air in them to make sure nothing is left in there at all. If you don't think you can get something completely clean then it should be replaced. In the case of bearings, just try not to use anything made in China...

Here's a description off of a machine shop page. "The hot tank is designed to steam clean the engine head, engine, block, and the internal moving components of the engine. The hot tank reaches very high temperatures, over a few hundred degrees. The combination of extreme heat and the mixture of cleaning solvents and solutions blast the dirt and gunk out and off your engine. Our cleaning services will revive old and tired engines by making them like new again."
