Wasn't it Mr Whipple who said "Don't squeeze the Charmin?"

Sorry couldn't resist. I've got nothing funny to add.

 

[Crash_AF]

I was going to say, is the Whipple tree where Charmin comes from?

[BMS07]

Yea my bad about the spelling!

Ok. Now that everyone has had their fun, both BMS07 and I are looking for a WHIFFLE TREE. Anyone got one or two?

BMS07 - You CAN go back to your original posting, hit the "EDIT" button at the bottom of the posting, and correct the spelling so you can get this thread back on track.

Noun: whiffletree 'wiful`tree

1. A crossbar that is attached to the traces of a draft horse and to the vehicle or implement that the horse is pulling

Okay, I looked it up. Are you guys restoring military horse-drawn wagons?

LOL, No... A whiffle tree is a bar that attaches to the tow rings on a military vehicle so that the wrecker can lift it. Do a search and you can find pics.

Didn't somebody make a set for a recovery trip they were doing, or am I loosing my mind?

 

[DaveP]

not for sale but heres mine.

 

[acetomatoco]

I have one here with the pins for $200

 

[citizensoldier]

Anybody have a set of pins they will sell?

 

[CGarbee]

Like Citizensoldier, I just need pins for mine (actually, I only need one pin...)...

 

[citizensoldier]

Yep, just need a couple pins.. I could make them but just dont have time to mess with it right now. I hope someone out there has purchased a GL lot that had a bunch.. Or maybe a wrecker with a few extra rolling around the storage boxes..

You're not losing your mind. It was No.2Diesel who made the set.

Here is the previously mentioned Wiffle tree, Homemade style......I took two 1/2" THK. plates and cut em' out and welded the perimeters up as well as adding some plug welds on the reverse side. Lift shackles attaching tree to towbar are 1-1/8' Dia.

I have not observed any warping of the plate or excessive wear at the lift points. I'm sure that the type of steel used for HD pintle hitches would wear longer.
