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 need to replace muffler but the screws on the block are allen or are pretty rusty and no allen I have will turn them.
So what should I do next heat them up or what?

You might try a ratchet with the right sized Allen head socket on a impact gun. Soak with wd40 or whatever you like for a few days first...heating the block in that area will help too
There's room for all god's creatures ..... next to the mashed potatoes (and possibly bbq'd)

If you want to try something easy and hope for the best Nappy you can run it till it's hot and try a good pair of vice grips. Try not to twist off the head so you don't have to go through the drilling, cussing, tapping and more cussing part. :rolling2
I have an extractor that will fit over those. The impact usually pops them right out, most of the time anyway. Heat is one key, and like Blue said, the hammer action is the other.
