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.

More red today and yesterday. Got the hood painted yesterday as well as the foot rests and clutch pedal. Also painted the hood pivot bracket and the part in front of the shifter. Next will be moving on to the seat pan. Also will be removing the upholstery on the seat and get the pan painted and sent out for reupholstered if anyone is open right now around me. Will probably also be taking the battery box off as well as belt guard and paint those. Just keep chugging along removing a couple pieces at a time.

More sandblasting and more painting. Got a lot more parts off the frame. Had enough time and paint to be able to paint the belt guard and the height adjustment cast piece. Been staring at all the parts. Getting excited.

It’s as far as it’s going to go now. Degreasing the frame today, little more tomorrow, then wire wheel and paint. Have some more parts needing to be sandblasted. The painted pile is definitely getting bigger now compared to the unpainted pile.

No pictures right now. Would like to get a couple more pieces on the frame. Will update in a couple hours with pics. The sandblasted pile is getting smaller and the frame is getting heavier. Better get it off the saw horses now lol.
