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.

Even though prices of flat stock have almost doubled since I made the last batch last Fall the price of the new ones will stay the same as the old ones because the labor time to make them has decreased by 90%.
I planned on having them done yesterday but early Spring is really wild around here. This post will also have some pics of how the new versions are made.
First step is taking 1/2 a stick (10') of 5/8" x 2" steel, getting it on the machine and setting the backstop at 8". Once that is done we just feed the steel in till it hits the stop, press the pedal on the machine and it takes 3 seconds to shear it and raise for the next piece. In about 3 minutes minutes the entire stick is sheared and stacked on the welding table.

The new pieces will have a little larger hole on the hitch pin end. Previously the hole was drilled to 3/4" The new ones will be punched to 13/16" The first pic below shows a new punched hole over an original drilled hole for comparison.
The reason is punch dies (unless custom made) are always done in 1/16" increments. The reason for this is if you have a longer bolt the shank, or non threaded portion of a longer bolt is the actual size of the bolt. Nothing being a perfect size and roundness makes it hard to put a 3/4" bolt shank in a 3/4" hole, hence the 1/16" upsize. Same as with the shearing, there is a hole made every 3 seconds.
I bet you didn't know this was going to be a fabrication class as well lol.

Next step will be a quick run over with a flap disc on the mag vise to remove any possible sharp edges.
