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.

Thanks Motor. It's taking longer than I thought, there was a lot of stuff stuck and a lot of rough edges that needed smoothing. I'm finally starting to get the pile of parts on it lol.

Seems like everything I touch is frozen. I think the only things that moved was the carriage and the cross slide and they didn't move full travel. The compound rest and angle adjustment was completely frozen as was every piece on the taper attachment and everything in the tail stop, the adjustment, vertical slides, lock, drill shaft, drill shaft lock, and drill. It would be nice if at least one thing worked on the tail stop. Yeah it's starting to get to me a little lol. >(

The good news is once everything is freed up, cleaned up and reassembled it is as tight and smooth as new. It's getting closer but this thing is coming at great cost to my sleep. :cof1

It is mostly done. I need to get a clockwise rotation or bi-directional motor because I'm not putting the mess back on there that came on it. There's still a few things to do but at least the marathon part is over. :)

Here's what it looked like 5 days ago, and you can see the motor mess. It would give some nasty head bumps.

The only thing left was to find an older reversible motor and I got it this morning. I was talking to dad and told him I wanted an older motor to that would look right with the old lathe and he said he had them all over the farm in the old feeders, conveyors and such that weren't used anymore.

Rhodes, dad and I went to the farm this morning and picked out an old 220V reversible 2hp that ran a 170' long belt feeder off of the main silos. It runs great and is quiet as new. Dad donated the motor to the cause, I just have to get it cleaned up. :thumb1
