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?

I'm gonna try to finish the relocating of the small LP tank I have for the gas logs in the house tomorrow too, made the pipes with the Rigid threader today. I traded some work for it in 97 after I built the new shop here from an HVAC guy getting out of the gas furnace business. It was $500 worth of work for it but I thought it was pretty cheap for a complete electric Rigid setup with lots of dies at the time, especially what it would have cost me to have someone else pipe the shop, then add on from time to time, etc, etc... It's one of the best things I ever had, it did all of the lines in the shop among other things for me + dad.

Today started the rearrange the parking lot again, I think I do it about twice a year. I have 2 empty trailers taking up space so they may as well be loaded to actually free up some space. I have a good selection of years, hydros, 8 speeds, body styles, etc out there that I usually grab parts off of from time to time so the trailers will end up staying in the lot, they are easy enough to move with the forklift. I'm hoping to get most of it done tomorrow.
I've also decided to sell the 2 WH trucks, another project I'll prob never finish...

Anyway, it's all done, I just got done sharpening all the chains again and the saws are ready to go again on the last big bad one. It's gonna be a real pain but the end is at least in sight...

I crossed a few more off of my list end of last week and this morning. There's a new bar + chain on my small chainsaw and a new bar + chain set will be here tomorrow for my big one. I hope to finish up the last stump on my list this year tomorrow or this Wed if all goes right.
The Kubota came out last weekend so the small porch on the S side that was on the house is all gone and cleaned up, and the LP gas line for the gas logs is rerouted over there. The Sebring convertible I've been parting out and Escort are sold and were both picked up this morning leaving 2 more large spots in the parking lot.
The front porch steps are something I'm still thinking about whether to replace them or do away with them and just make another rail in that spot. Either way, deliberating on doing away with the sidewalk as well that goes to the old front entry that could use a little repair. It used to go to the mailbox but I moved the mailbox over near the driveway as soon as I bought the place in '95 and don't use the front door for anything really. The only thing the steps do is make a little better curb appeal but with the cost of materials now I'm not sure whether I should mess with them or not... :confused1

I went out about 1PM after everything dried out and just now got done. Mind you I had already spent several hours cutting the outer root growth out and below ground level. I had 8 sharpened chains, new bars on each saw, and thought it would go pretty good, but no mater how you look at it chains just won't cut rocks lol.
Seems I only encounter this problem with Hackberry trees, for some reason they grow around rocks instead of pushing them out. All the pieces in the truck now is what I have to go through to get to the rocks to get them out. Anyway, the stump is well below ground and all that's left is to take the big part of the stump away and fill the hole with some dirt tomorrow. At least the hardest job for this year is done.

Someone flipped the switch and it looks like Fall is here. When I finished the last stump it was 96 a 3 days ago, then it was 74 and super nice yesterday, then it was 46 last night and gonna be a high of 70 today... This morning is getting the humidifier on the house heat pump cleaned up and turning toward cold weather and getting ready to turn on the heat. I hate the cold but it is what it is, I thought I may have a break between the Summer and Fall jobs but I guess not lol.
