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.

What will you be using for spring?

Well I started this in the old forum so I thought I'd do it again. What wheel horses (and it can be other tractors too :) ) Be sure to include what attachments you will be using, what type of tractor, and also if you have anything else to add.

I'll be using my raider 12 (now a 16 :woo ) with a tiller, and a 42 or 48 inch deck I can't remember. Don't worry I'll see if I can get a pic of it w/ the mower.

Remember, we want pics!!! :pics1

OK I'll play,

I maintain about 4 acres of lawn. That is way too much for my 520H's. I use a pair of Ford's. My main mower is a 1955 660 with a Woods 6 ft 3 point finish mower. This is a dream to mow with, it has power steering and live PTO and hydraulics. My back up is a 1950 8N with a 6ft Wood belly mower. Not a bad tractor at all

I have a pair of 520H's that do trimming. That service is about a hour a week, so it's not minor. I'll have to get some pics.

Thanks guys, That 8N belly mower is a bit rare, but they are out there. It took me two years to find it and it was 300 miles away. Well worth the trip. Woods made 5ft and 6ft belly mowers with mounting kits for various tractors. The 5 foot is more common, mine is a 6 foot. Mowing with it is just like a larger Wheel Horse. Its amazing how much faster it is mowing with a 6ft mower. It cut my time in half. The only down side is that it is not as maneuverable. Strange thing - I burn less gas with the 8N than with my 520H and the 8N is quieter. I love the sound of old Ford flat heads.

Here is another view

I've never seen anything eat gas like a 520. My Escalade with a trailer load of tractors gets better mileage. :rolling

Geno, gas mileage is about my only complaint on my 520H's, that is until the dreaded valve seat bites.

GT. Engine RPM at PTO speed (540 rpm) is about 1800. That is about peak torque for an 8N. Funny thing is that the engine is only about 24HP. Not much more than a 520H, but the torque must be at least double. That belly mower is easy duty for an 8N in normal grass.
