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.

The main steering pivot is done and ready to bolt on. I got a little obsessive of course lol. :tounge2

I ended up using a 1" collar on the bracket so I could use a standard Wheel Horse bearing. I did upgrade the bearing to the same part with what they call an oil hole in it that lines up with the allen screw hole for the collar. It will be a good place for a grease fitting. :woo

I've been going overboard on the steering cause there's a lot of stress there in a short space. The most stressed spots will have bearings, the other spots will have ball joints or a forged joint. I made a bearing to replace the one at the end of the steering shaft today and finalized most of the other pieces. :woo

I had to take the front frame back off to weld the 3/4 rod back in that I took out. I think that's the only mistake I made, so far lol. :laughing

The steering is mostly done and she steers pretty easy, it should with the 5 bearings added but there was a lot of stress in this steering design. I was after a small footprint that is hard to notice, and wanted to use all of the the original Wheel Horse steering parts as well. All of the bearings, thrust washers and thrust bearings are the same Wheel Horse parts used in the gear drive decks. There's a little tweaking to do but the hard part is over, I think this will be the hardest part of the whole build. :whew

It's a lot to turn and too much is better than not enough lol. :rolling

The front step bar is back in, frame is repainted, and the mid tach-a-matic has been moved forward and put on. Attachments will have to be modified or changed but at least there is an anchor point there for them, or other custom things that can be made to fit it. The steering parts are painted and should get put together later today. :thumb1

Unless you're coming down to help Nappy the tach-a-matics can stay put lol. :rolling They will hold a front push guard and maybe a winch. I won't be mowing or snow blowing with this one. :tounge2

Here is the manual steering setup.
