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.

Well, all started out good, got her running but may need a carb, everything there was froze up, then the rear wheels... I finally got the left rear wheel off without damaging anything, but the right rear wheel is gonna have to be cut off. It worried me a little because it had been beat on and heated from the outside before. There sure is a lot of axle in that wheel, this is not a good way to start things. :doh

I've been saying this since the 80's on stuff like this, dead or alive you're coming with me lol. :jump1

They are both off, axles and 1 wheel are saved, and the axles are all cleaned up. :thumb1

Most of the wiring harness is out, what needs to be taped up is done, and most of it is sanded down, just a little hand sanding left to do around some bolts and such. Looks like a little painting may start tomorrow. :woo

I got 12 of the new LED lights put in today, I think I need sunglasses in the shop now but they sure are nice, it's like working outside but without all the heat lol. :tounge2

A little painting, a little sanding, a little blasting. :thumb1

Every time I blast a hood or rear pan it seems like I say I wish the topside looked as good as the bottom lol. :jump1

I finally had a chance to catch up on your B85 project. Looks like its coming along nicely. Have you made any decisions on that pesky rear wheel? A sleeve and hub just sounds like the right way to go. If you find a way to key it on. I was half thinking of using a dog point set screw or two. Not perfect and might not hold up. Just not sure. Getting a key in there would be perfect it you can do it.
