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?

TnT = Try New Tech
Isn't that the truth! I guess going with the latest and greatest is a double edged sword...

Clint has something that has laid him out for the past month or so also. He never had a fever but has felt horrible. I talked to him today and told him it would be best to not come here for awhile as well. I guess we'll see what all this turns into...

The latest weather shots are below and it will prob be worse for you Nappy... Ambient below zero with wind chills at -30. I took scrrenshots of the 10 day and hourly, hourly one is the scariest of how fast this is gonna happen and just how strong this front is. I've seen a lot of things but this one is the worst in my lifetime as far as how strong it is. The last one even close was in 76 or 77 when I got frostbite getting the cows up on dads 756 before milking way back then.
It's 78 and sunny in the shop. I started the Escalade, CTS, Cobalt, Cavalier, + Forklift and let them run for about 15 mins till they were hot and the cooling fans were on a few hours ago so they would emit heat instead of eating heat over night. After that I filled the wood furnace and choked it down that should do about a 16 hour burn. I just checked the temp out there online and it's 78, it should stay close to that tonight with the wood furnace alone without any other help. There are 2 60KW heat strips in each package unit but if they come on it will be nice and warm but the meter may spin clean off the building. It's also not good for the wallet when they come on on nights or days like this...

My camera has been down for awhile but I found out what was up with it today so I can start posting some pics again on these latest 2. For now I'm headed to bed to catch up on some much needed sleep, the rest of this month is looking pretty wild to say the least, but it's all good.
After the tax stuff is done and these latest 2 are in the works then I need to start to get over to UK again so they can get started on my permanent teeth which should be done by Spring. After that there is gonna be a really really big parts sale here that I haven't mentioned yet online. I need space more than anything right now and have more stuff than I know what to do with. I know it's all my fault for going a little crazy over the years but I need to concentrate on more space right now. I have other things on my list as well. It's going to be a crazy but good year for sure.

The other 416 is here and didn't need the forklift, so that's good news. The forklift never gave me trouble, even worked great last Sat, but now it's not getting fuel and everything is getting power. It runs on carb cleaner and everything else looks good, even tried another filled tank. I haven't worked on propane systems before so this will be another learning experience.
Toilet is a 20 year old American Standard and is apart, it's getting a rebuild kit because it has been trouble free for 20 years. The leak is at the tank to bowl gasket so I'll just replace everything in the tank, 20 years is pretty good.
Other stuff is minor, no one is in a hurry for tractors, so the next week or so will be ordering in some parts, working on fixing some things, and working on taxes. After that maybe I can get back to tractors and normal stuff.

The pic is from the one a few miles up the road. This morning it is freezing, and the grass is frozen with snow flurries. It's amazing what can change in just 24 hours...
On the brighter side no one was hurt and it's supposed to be around 60 here again next Tuesday thru Thursday.

Sales tax paperwork is all done and filed online a few days early, 2022 taxes are all done and a P+L statement ready for my tax guy to do in April, and the toilet is rebuilt and working again lol.
I also got a start on the forklift today and it's looking like something is wrong with the pressure converter assy or carb. I've learned how forklift propane systems work now other than reading up on the carb. All of the wiring is good from where it got a rewire and new charging system a year or 2 ago and all of the electronic parts are off and have tested good. I have someone checking to see if a rebuild kit that I found is still available for the pressure converter assy that's supposed to call me back tomorrow. Everything in the propane system looks to be original from 1972 when this one was made, minus the 2 main lines from the tank to valve solenoid that were replaced when I first got it. At least things are moving along, the Horses are waiting...
