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 placed a steel order this morning and they have the rod we need in stock. They deliver here on Thursday and unless they mess up the order it will be here this Thursday.
I should be able to have your pin made up by this weekend and have pics in here for you to take a look at.

I have one made up but it took longer than expected. I used cold rolled (shaft material) for the pin so it would be the strongest possible. The bender can bend it easy enough but it had a lot of trouble holding it to finish the bend, it kept wanting to slide around the piece that holds it in place after rotating it to finish the bend. Anyway, I've been wanting to make the bigger original style pins like this for the rear hitch so I may just go on and get a heavier bender soon to do those with and this piece more easily.
I left it a little long because the original pin just barely stuck through the end of the piece on the disc and personally I thought it was a little short. It looks like it's up a little in the pic but that's normal, the pin fits tightly so it only goes in until it hits the bend. Not bad for the first one and it's easy to cut it off a little like the original if that's what you want.
What are your thoughts?

If you have any more parts you need made let me know and I'll see if it's something we can start making. There are a lot more new things coming soon now that the new iron worker is here and running. Your pin was the first thing sheared on it before being made, I like it because it has more of a factory look because the original was sheared and rolled the same way.
