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.

I haven’t been able to do a video since it’ll have to be done over YouTube. All the items were either bought off Amazon or stuff I had laying around. I used a motor and gear box combo and made a bracket. That motor and bracket got bolted onto the existing holes that held on the bracket for the hand crank. I then chopped off the crank rod and spindle, leaving about 1/2 inch or so on the end. I bought a coupler that would also adapt the 8mm shaft of the motor to the 1/2 rod. As you can see in the pic, the spool now sits on the top of the blower instead of out the back. I found an old muffler clamp, cut to length, and welded it to the body of the blower. This is the new cable guide since the old ones can’t be used. The just wrap the cable around like from the factory and it’s good to go. It’s a little on the slow side, but the motor has a ton of torque. I had a bad spot on a part of the cable (wasn’t even cut half way) and the motor had enough torque to snap it the rest of the way. The motor I used wasn’t waterproof but I’ve used it a couple times and the snow has cover the motor completely with no issues yet. I plan on also installing an actuator to angle the deflector. And I plan on using a 4 wire trailer connector to easily connect and disconnect the snowblower from the tractor.

It was rated at 16rpm. I feel that 25-30 rpm would be better. I can make a list of stuff I used later if you want.

I put some screenshots below of what I used. I also used a regular dpdt momentary switch.

Thanks again. I have all the parts picked out except for a few minor items. You can’t imagine what this is going to a person.
