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.

60" Deck Front Hitch Shaft was created by Geno
I took a 520 with a 60" deck in on trade a few weeks ago and was originally gonna part it. Most of the time I still wish I did but of course I didn't. :doh

The more I work on it the more I find to work on. :whew I finally got it all (I think) minus a front rod that goes in the mid tach-a-matic. The tach-a-matic right ear was broken mostly off but it is fixed. The piece that you push in to disengage it is gone but I can do something with making one of those too. Someone got pretty creative but it still wouldn't stay in there no matter how much wire they used to help hold it in, see the 1st pic. :help

The shaft is a Toro 113069-01 SHAFT-HITCH and I'm not paying $180.00 for a piece of 1" steel rod that I can get at the welding shop for less than $5.00. :waiting

The lathe chuck I have now could do it but I may go get another chuck in the morning. I did get 2 pieces of rod in case I couldn't wait lol. :tounge2

I found a few things worse than the raping on that shaft... :tounge2

List price on the front hood rod #101710 is around $46.00 but they are on the net from $56 to $38 without clips, what a deal lol. :rolling The mid tach-a-matic rod is NLA, it's longer and has an extra groove in it so it may have been scary too. The the whole mid rod, lock and spring setup is gone on this 520 so I decided to make a trip to the welding shop to pick up some materials and play for awhile. Anyways, they are on the short list to make a few and see if anyone needs any at a much more reasonable price. :thumb1

Morning Robert.  I have plenty of these that were made here as well as NOS, and perfect used pieces but as stated around here I don't ship anything anymore, haven't for several years.  Are you close by?
