Big old Wheel Horse Sign

[nylyon-(Admin) 7,295]

Just got back from a couple day camping trip in Gardiner, NY which is a small town in lower NY state. While travelling down Main St, I noticed an old hardware store with a hugh Wheel Horse sign on the side. I didn't see any evidence of tractors there, and was towing my travel trailer so I couldn't stop in. On Sunday they were closed so I couldn't stop in. Next trip up, I am going to pull in and ask about the sign, who knows maybe they have some old treasures hidden in the back.

travel trailer or not, you may regret not stopping then. i pulled up to my local WH dealer 3 yrs ago and there was a sign in the window that read... AFTER 50 YEARS IN BUSINESS WE HAVE CLOSED ARE DOORS.... the lot and large field of used stuff was empty and i was sick to my stomach.

I'm fixin to go camping again in a couple of weeks. This next time I will be stopping in to talk about what they have. I did see a nice Farmall for sale in same area.

We actually went up that way this past weekend to see the Ulster County Fair. Never did stop in that place, but the sign is still there. We'll probably head back up there in September I'll make it a point to stop in.

Well, I stopped in this weekend. While riding my bike with the kids, a bolt on my seat broke, yeah it hurt, so I went to the hardware store to get a new bolt. They are still a Toro dealer, but they no longer have any Wheel Horses. Wasn't too talkative about it either. In any event, nothing came of my trip there.

That's the same vibe I got when I talked to Toro customer service. They don't want to say anything about Wheel Horse, just their zero turns and their MTD made junk!
