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 also decided the one part I've had the most trouble with had to come off or I wouldn't be happy. I've never seen an engine pulley so stubborn but it seems I am more stubborn. I figured this morning if I damaged it so be it, I have lots more of them here...
Time for a little lunch then the paintathon can begin.

Every time I would get started on something the phone would ring... Anyway, all that got done today was unwrapping everything, getting the engine on the turn table and getting started on it, and putting the battery box on the frame. I really need to concentrate on the rearend that I had planned on doing today so it can get painted and back on the frame. Then the motor can go on so it will balance on the forklift, then I can go like the wind.
I'll get the rearend going tomorrow morning and if the phone starts going nuts again it will be taken off the hook.

I know I wasn't supposed to take so much apart and clean everything but it's just the way I am, and the way I have to do things to sleep at night. But don't panic or worry, I will take care of all of the extra labor because it was my choice to do this. I do feel good about it now and I know it will last so it was worth it to me.
This post is just cleaning, checking everything, and replacing bearings.

I even took a little time to make some new "tools" for covering shafts while painting rearends. I'll put that in the next post.

I only made 1 of the 1" tools and moved it around the axles and brake shaft while painting to see how it worked. It worked perfectly so I need to make another for the axle, a shorter one for the brake shaft, and shorten up the one for the input shaft. I'll put this in the home made tool section as well later on when I get the rest of the tools made.
You can see in the 8th pic there's not a spec of paint on the axle, new bearing, or the freshly cleaned bore from when the rearend was apart. Of course minus my red dots I like so much.
A little carb cleaner in the drain before the paint dries and they clean up really easy and are ready for the next job.
It's well worth making all the tools for these as a huge painting time saver. As much as I'm always trying to improve the work I do it will also be a little thing to make every job a little bit better. Win wins are always a good thing.
