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.

Didn't take any bacon, and I'm sure 7 miles down the road on the same highway would interfere.

With the other suppliers you have I wouldn't worry over it. If there's a buck to be made Toro will be first in line to collect it.

Yeah that sounds about right to me but what if it doesn't happen will that have any impact on your shop?

I was very disappointed in Toro to never hear anything back. It just proves even more to me that they are not the company Wheel Horse was, or anything like Wheel Horse at all for that matter. Like everything else, seems the good old days of common sense and good business sense are gone.

We have been going ahead with making parts and doing our own thing as we usually do. I told their National Sales and Regional managers when they were here, they can sell us parts, or we can make them and source them where they do, but this WHS train isn't stopping... Not a big deal for us, we'll just fill the shop with equipment like we've been doing and make them for less than we can buy them, or find the people making the parts for them and source them directly. That's what we've been doing for awhile and there's a lot more coming, especially when the fab shop is completely up. :)
