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 did one about 4 years ago.....trickiest part is not losing the little balls and spring in the shifter....and then replacing them....there is a trick to it.

The bolt in the top of the tranny that holds the shifter in place has no head of it. There is a locking nut on it and it was loose and screwed way out. How tight should I screw it in before locking it in? Should it have a bolt head on it? thanks for help, Bobster

the screw is not bottomed out it should be loose with the jam nut locking it in place.
the gear shift has a ball welded to where it rests in the trans, in that ball a drilled hole accepts the dog-headed point of the Allen screw.
this is what keeps the shifter from being able to be pulled out,(up) the ball is what it floats on that allows the gears to to shifted.
the unthreaded part of the screw is the only part of the screw that should come in contact with the ball.
its was more of a feel thing when i did mine them anything.
i looked in my few manuals could not find the exact wheel horse procedure for this. someone else may have it

The Allen wrench should be 1/8" if I remember right.
