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.
What's everybody doing?

Looks like it will do more than you'll ever need, weight wise it would blow out the front tires before that gives way lol.

Yea I tend to overbuild everything. I had and old class 1 hitch laying around, it is a solid bar. Cut 5 inch off it and used that for a gusset. I also welded the gap where the WH bracket folds just in case. 1978 C-101

There are still some stumps left to deal with but that will be in the next pretty weather days ahead.I called a few peeps over the past few days to ask for help. These are peeps I do a lot of - need it now and free work for, and of course they were all too busy to help (like peeps always are unless they need something) so I did it all by myself as usual... As of today a lot of things will change. I culled most of the peeps like that around 10 years ago and the new ones since then are culled as of now. :dalek
There was a little bend in the front of the Kubota bucket and I got it tangled up several times trying to move all of this stuff by myself and made it about twice as bad as it was. That's ok, I'll fix it first of next week when the rain and cooler weather comes in. I've been meaning to fix what was bent there previously and weld some hooks on the bucket for a long time anyway.
Anyway, most of the mess is gone, grass is mowed, and I get tomorrow to rest and recuperate. :smile2

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
I can't see the forest for the trees.

That is usually the way it goes, I have the hat and T shirt for it. But I always feel the Lord knows and puts another addition on my mansion.
These are more wealthy and more self centered or lazy peeps, I think by keeping this up it would be called enabling lol.
Most of it is stuff like vehicle work and other things that I don't do, or never had done for the public like machine or welding shop work anyway. There's a welding shop 3 miles right up the road in one direction and another 1 mile in the other direction from me... :smile2 Please Log in to join the conversation.

Spent most of the afternoon on the bucket, I didn't realize it was so bad before I added to the damage but once I got to straightening on it it was several inches low on the top. It took a lot longer than I thought to work it out without heating it and making it weaker. It also got 3/4" x 1/4" thick square tubing welded to the backside and it sits flush with the original lip so it looks ok, I don't think we'll be bending it again anytime soon. :smile2 . It also got a few G70 chain hooks welded on it so we don't have to wrap longer chains around other parts of the bucket or arms until it's tight to lift with it.
Now I just need to do a little more clean up on it and find some Kubota orange paint.
