Ok, I'm going to play the OP card here!
I know we have mentioned the whiffle tree before - maybe "Wrecker wish list of mods" thread.... but that little ring that is hanging down from the middle of it - purpose anyone?
I think (as in - my opinion) it is to hang on the hook, which then has the 'tree hanging flat so that there is no weight to lift by soldier B when inserting the bumper shackles (saves soldier A & B hooking it up), then, when shackles are connected, lower, remove and insert hook in lifting eye. In otherwords, the other way up in 70D's pic.
COMMENT ANYONE? Otherwise it's somewhat redundant.
I had thought it might be a good idea to take a shackle off the boom hole that is at the end of it. From there run a chain down to the extra loop just incase the boom cable broke. To do that the wiffle tree would have to be reversed from this pic to put loop faceing tow and it will line up better to the boom hole. I know and hope the tow bar would not fail but in this pic the hook and wiffle seem to be running dang close to the tow.
All I did to mine this week was wash and air up the tires for the Mt. Dora meet.
