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.

There was 1/2 gallon of Krylon IH red in the back so that did the red pieces, the rest is a heavy silver metallic and Seymour Cast Blast used in machine shops to paint stained cast iron. It's starting to look really good now and the implement paint should be dry enough to put it back together next week.

The brake band and where the motor sits were lined with self stick 1/4" thick rubber. Once tightened down it will never move and stop any vibration. The guy I wire the mini semis for gave it to me a long time ago. It's from the Ford plant he worked at in Louisville years ago. I have a big box of the stuff, they are leftovers from inner firewall cut outs.
It's all wired up and works great. I started on the Tach-a-matic today. It will need a slight modification, more on that next time.

First the hitch pin that was to be used to mount front ends was cut down so it would fit with the Tach-a-matic fully assembled. It didn't have to be but this keeps me from having to search for it when needed... Next was bending a Wheel Horse rod from something parted out to make it easy to remove the bottom Tach-a-matic catch. It has to be removed to get the front end pin in and out as seen in the first pic. It worked out really good and both pins have handles now to make them easy to remove.
A plate was also made from 3/16" steel and bolted to the top of the frame to put magnetic trays on to keep up with things related to the tester. It all works perfect and is ready to do it's original intention of testing rearends, along with a lot of other things.
I have a few other small plans for it but they will have to wait for now. I have to get back to work as well as doing more parting, and do something with these parts all over the place.

I got started on it this past Wed (10-22) and finished it up today. The pics are pretty self explanatory and will be broken up over the next 3 posts so make the page load faster. It started out with some 1 1/4" square tubing to fit the rail and keep the self cutting screws inside it when the rails were mounted.

After all that was done it was time to take it all back apart for some cleanup, blasting, and painting.
