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 bought a new 1/2 x 70 Kevlar Belt, I installed the belt and guard. I started up fine with my pedal pushed in while in rev, then backed up and stopped, when I go to drive in any forward speed it slows and seems to be slipping, can it be the Kevlar? A smaller Belt, 1/2 x 69 is too tight and won't stop spinning to engage a gear. I'll be looking for pulley slip next on the transmission......

Thanks anyways, I found the sheared key-way on the left rear hub! To think this Tractor set all this time due to simple key-way!

I've bought tractors like that before, that may be why they parked it. Glad you got her going. :thumb

I'm very happy with this one! It runs strong! I even found a rebuild for the HY-3 with a new spring and everything. I even got the decals in this week!
Although we were away vacationing at Bald Head Island , NC, beautiful place, the teenagers loved it too!
