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.

* The Gator Blades that will fit and work excellent on the WH 42" Rear Discharge Deck, are:
OREGON #90-643 (13.9" long, 2.5" wide, 3/16" thick with a 3/4" center hole).
My original regular blades are used and worn, I get only 14.1" long, measuring diagonally.
On a 42" RD deck, Gator #90-643 works best & perfect, "trust me on this".
Did run a test, and these shorter Gator blades alone seemed to cut perfect, no gaps, except on the turns
there was a very slight thin gap, and I was being very fussy in judging.
Again, these Gator blades are slightly shorter than your original regular blades, but with the regular
blades on also, they work perfect, no gaps and very fine clippings. With the original blades on last,
positioned lower, you'll only need to sharpen the Gator blades about every third time, it is the
lower original blade that seems to wear and dull (dirt, stones, etc.).
There are many Gator blades listed on eBay right now, you need 3, be sure all the numbers are correct
and compare the shipping costs/total delivered prices very carefully.

Keeps moist grass from sticking to the deck, available from larger farm stores ($12/qt, $7 spray can), a qt will do 3 decks, use the spray for the spindle housing ribs, I first cleaned and etched the deck, then painted a white enamel so I could see where the Graphite did wear off, but it does last the whole season, about 60 hours of mowing.
If you weld the blades together, it may be harder to sharpen on a grinder. Nick a notch in the blades to a spot weld on just one. I have found a minimum of blade movement, but then our lawn is very nice, flat, level, & clean. Also, that's a standard 'factory' issue Wheel Horse Blade Wrench given with new C-series tractors, really helps in changing blades as it fits under the blade to hold the large nut there.
