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.

My friend Kevin was here today.  We did a lot of little things for each other then after lunch we decided to make the bar for the grinder holders we both had for awhile.  It ended up being easy, we cut a piece of Fastenal upright angle 4' long that can be bolted right to a bench like the ones in the shop, or mounted to a wall, board or 2 by whatever under a regular work bench.  The holes in the angle line up with the holes in the holder so they can be moved around anytime.  The big thing is he can leave the handles in now.  Where he is strapped for space he usually takes them out, I use mine so much I leave them in.  

They holders aren't straight in the pics because there's only 1 loose nylock on the back holding them on now to play with spacing.  There's plenty of room to move them around in case some have a little longer handle.  Most handles here only need 3 open holes between each bracket with the handle on one of them needs 4 hole spacing.  It was a quick easy job but one more thing off the list is always good.  

Kevin is putting his on a work bench, not sure where mine are going, I'll figure that out next week.

Had a little time to finish up the grinder rack today.  The bolts are 1/2 x 9" long for stability and to drop the rack down.  I used the bolt heads to hold it up and level along with 2 corner magnets on the bottom.  After it was welded I just cut the bolt heads off and smoothed everything up.  Taking 2 nuts and washers off removes the whole thing.  Before this some of the grinders were kept in a roll around with doors so one of the main reasons this was built was not only for space, but so I didn't forget the other ones that would make a job quicker and easier.   

There are still others with things like concrete, diamond, and other wheels but they don't get used enough to warrant keeping them out.  Then there's the air grinders but they're all in the top toolbox drawer where I'm at all the time.   

The nicest thing is they are all below the bench so they will never get in the way, and I can still see them all.  Anyone could do this with just angle iron and drilling holes in it.  I used the Fastenal uprights because I have plenty of them and the holes happen to line up with the holders making everything easier and adjustable.
