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.

so there's gonna be a big Wheel Horse red engine lathe cleaned up and for sale as soon as I can get to it. 
This thing is awesome, it's the HiTorque Deluxe Bench Lathe from Little Machine Shop. They have the best products with the most features hands down. It's a 8.5x20 and has digital readouts on the carriage, cross slide, compound rest, and tailstock; the first two feed data from magnetic scales via Bluetooth to the tablet display. Speed is variable from 100 to 2,000 RPM and has a digital readout for it. It also has auto-feed on the carriage and cross slide.
This machine is 120VAC, but the motor is the latest technology, a 12VDC brushless hi-torque motor. I bought the black Husky box for this lathe, it's nice that it's on it's own box with plenty of storage and I can move it around if need be or just to clean around it, and it can be plugged in anywhere in the shop. Parts are gonna be made a whole lot faster once the shop is all redone.
All of the new tooling and old on the other lathe will all fit in the top drawer of the work bench, it will be quick and easy to find and it won't look all cluttered like the old lathe. Measuring equipment will have 1 drawer and the rest of the cabinet can be for projects being done, patterns for projects etc. Everything in 1 spot instead of all over, I can't wait. :happy1
For now it is covered up and I'm getting back to work on everything else, I'll get more pics of it later when it's in it's spot and done.

It will also keep me from knocking it off that little stand that came with it onto the floor.
