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 am going to a tractor & engine show in a couple of weeks here in Texas and I only have room for one tractor. My enclosed trailer (5x10) will have hit & miss engines and a small wagon on board. That leaves the pick up bed for one tractor. Will it be the RJ58 or the 854.The tractor that goes is also used to ride around the fair grounds, and they both are capable of that. I'm leaning toward the RJ.

That's a tough decision Motor. If I could only take one tractor and it was going to be used for my event transportation, I'd lean towards the one with the electric starter.

Is size and weight a concern? The RJ is smaller, a lot lighter (in-trailer weight & just rolling around) and usually draws more attending that later year models.

It's going to be the RJ, I hate to pick one over the other, they are both classic. I will have to make a sign " NOT FOR SALE " as the Wheel Horse tractor in Texas is a rare sight for sure. Last spring I took both tractors to an engine and tractor show and could have sold both, lots of people wanted the RJ for their kids to ride around on.
