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.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

Somebody would cut them.....I have only seen Spanish coins that were cut up..... I have never seen any U.S. coins cut but that doesn't mean they weren't.Geno wrote: Were they made that way or did someone cut them up to make smaller amounts of money?
You have most likely seen some cowboy movies where they would buy a drink and pay by bits...4 bits a dollar.

Can you tell me any of the history of your dads house...like anybody famous live there or stay there at anytime or anything happen there that I may of heard of.Geno wrote: Dad's would be better, the house is over 200 years old.
It looks like a great place from what I could see in the pictures....lots of chimney's lot of open ground.
I guess I have way to many questions or maybe I am being to nosey but I have been talking to a owner of a farm here that has been in his family since 1807 and he still lives there.....plus there are several family grave yards and one slave grave yard......neat stuff even if I don't get permission to dig there.

The house was built by President Buchanan, before he became president. If I remember right, I'll have to double check with Dad, he built it as a wedding present for a cousin of his.
