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.

Robert's 314-8 was created by Geno
This is an 85, the first and only early year 314 until they brought them back to replace the 414 years down the road. Robert's dad bought it new, Robert has had it about 20 years and it has been taken really good care of.

The blade is getting restored, valves adjusted, a little steering work, and a few other odds and ends.

Spent a lot of time getting the frozen up blade apart but it is all apart and blasted minus the main frame. I thought I would get into the motor today but time disappeared, it does that when you get old lol.. :rolling

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

A testament to the owners, and what a well maintained engine should look like inside after 32 years of use. It looks better than the pics to the naked eye, the block is just a shiny cast iron color. :thumb1

Just in the cover to adjust the valves, she has some ticking noise, will also adjust the carb, that's about it for the engine. :)

I wouldn't mess with them unless you hear noise, this one was pretty noisy but no miss, most of the noise was from the intake valve, it was way off.

Been making all the vehicles go away today, got the lawn mowed, valves are set, and the covers are blasted and ready to put back on. I don't know why but most of them are rusty between the gaskets but it's easy to make them good as new. :thumb1
