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.
Project Trisickle, maybe...

I guess the next step is to temporarily get the tricycle kit and front wheels sitting on it then put the shaft support and belt pulley assy on the tractor and see if it fits. Hopefully it does without a lot of modification, we'll see...

If the frame and lower steering rod were lengthened 6" right behind the tricycle kit it would give over 1" of total clearance at it's closest point while turning even with the guard on the sickle pulleys, and everything would bolt right back up as normal, not a big problem there. What I'm not willing to do right now with everything else going on is to lengthen the hood 6" and make it look factory...
I've always had a plan B though.
For now it's time to concentrate on finishing the tractor itself with the tricycle kit on it.

I had never sealed up and put a rearend in the blaster but thought well, it's already sealed up from the steam cleaning so I thought I would give it a try. In 10 minutes it was done so that will be the new norm around here. It sure is a lot faster than using the wire brushes on air tools and grinders and getting in all those tight spaces. Everything was separated into what color it was gonna be and I thought I would figure out what was next after lunch...

I figured I might as well do the black and it could dry overnight, that didn't take long... Then I thought since the black rearend parts were all done I could do the rearend and red on the parts that will be red on it so it could get new seals and put together tomorrow,,, then one thing led to another and I ran out of red hard parts to paint. :surprised I guess I forgot how fast things go doing things on the paint rack then just taking it by the hook and putting it on the drying rack.
The racks will hang out near the wood stove tonight and will be dry by morning. As far as prep and paint I think all that's left are the silver parts that are already blasted, cleaning up and putting a new gasket on the gas tank, and some sheet metal to blast and check so it can be painted.

Crazy day again... Started on the motor today. I thought I would change the plug wire connector and found this little thing that just pierced the wire, pretty sad but it was original... At least it was a copper core inside. After that was fixed the muffler got blasted and painted, then the motor parts started going on. It still amazes me how long it takes to do all the little things, especially checking bolt holes and seeing if a longer bolt can be used to make a better hold, especially on aluminum. Not sure why Tecumseh used such short bolts most everywhere, the mount bolts could be twice as long without any problem and almost every other bolt is a little longer along with some extra flat and lock washers where there were none.
This was a new engine but now it is officially better than new.
