Whiffel Tree

[brianrbull]

This has probably been addressed before but I couldnt find the information I needed so here goes.

I bought a M816 from Crane Indiana around New Years it has a lot of the BII including the Whiffel Tree but the pins are missing. does anyone have a spare set? is there something elst that will work IE tow bar pins? or do I have to buy a whole assembly?

Also before I get the Worthless With Out Pics I am in Afghanistan and havent laid Eyes on the truck yet. I go home on leave in 12 days and would like to play with my new toy. I will be posting pics then.

glad you got a new toy. sorry your over in the sand pit. take care of yourself as if i needed to say that!!. i use large tractor pins with sleaves to make up the differnece. i can take pics if needed. it works fine as i have used it many times hauling dueces and 5 tons home. those original pins are hard to come by Tim

Please post any pics you have, I have 4 trucks to recover while I am home . I plan on flat towing if possible but the ability to lift might be needed.
I have 3 M818's and my contact truck to get in Lansing MI . (about 90 Miles one way)

You do not need the tree to lift.Just hook up towbar and use the chain to lift.

I like how you Northern fellas keep your drinks cold. Down here we have to keep em in those newfangled "iceboxes" or electrimacated boxes called "fridges".

A friend of mine made some and they sheared. Like I told him make sure you use case hardened steel or tool steel.

I didn't have extra's then.
