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.

All I can say is I hope they're wrong. The wind speeds have increased since last night to 15-25mph. Even at the 46 deg high with an average 20mph wind puts the wind chill at 26.8 degrees. Add rain to that and it makes my head hurt, better dress warm! :doh

I also hear this show is in the middle of a field with no wind blocks or shelter. :surprised

Would love to meet up with you guys will be the main reason we're going. Maybe there's a restaurant we can hang out at for awhile to get out of the weather. :)

My wife and I were planning to make the trip, but having the little one out in those temperatures is not ideal. Not looking too good, unless we book a nearby hotel so I can run out and take a look around and let she and the baby take in some indoor swimming or something. Hate the bad weather forecast, as I am rarely home on a weekend and really wanted to go. Could use some pieces and parts lol.

Well that sort of did us in. Looks like it will be cold, windy and wet most of the time this thing is going on. If it wasn't for the 11 hours on the road and lack of any shelter it would be a different story... Sandra and I will do about anything but we don't do cold and wet. :doh

I have a hotel reserved in Rochester, 20 minutes SW of Mentone. It has a king size bed, fridge, and microwave that someone can have if they want it, it is already paid for. :)

Don't mean to be a party pooper but the weather sounds bad and I'm not overly sure about going because of it ......we will see what the weather looks like tomorrow morning then try to decide to go or not.
