lucidfind Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I was wondering if anyone had any insight on the shear pins for a Griphoist T.19. I am having a hard time locating anything online. The one in it appears to be sheared in half lengthwise and made of what looks like 1" of 1/8" brass rod. My apologies if this be the wrong category for such things.

Au Seeker Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I doubt you'll find a source for parts...but if it's indeed a piece of 1/8" brass rod, you can find brass rod of any size at numerous places, such as hardware stores and hobby shop and just cut what you need. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Hillman-3-ft-x-1-8-in-Brass-Metal-Round/3057647 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucidfind Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 Thanks, I was 99.9% sure I could use some brass stock, just dropped the question case there was some sort a specialized part i needed and the off chance someone here knew about it.

campbell954 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 This business is run by an older gentleman and his wife. He is pretty knowledgeable with all things Griphoist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucidfind Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 Thanks, that's a great bit of info, definitely going to give a call and do some inquiring. It seems to be in great condition except for that shear pin. Hope it was worth the $75 I payed for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently saw a T-19 sell on eBay for $198 + $38 shipping and it was a bit rusty and missing the handle, so if you get your's working with a new shear pin I think you got a great deal!

lucidfind Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Trailservices , best phone call I have made in decades. It was like calling a good friend for help, and they are sending me homemade shearpins for no charge! A rare gem in this day for sure. Cool, seems like I'm gold on the griphoist. Handle is there, no rust to speak of, and the wire rope appears to be in great condition. Not bad for being discontinued in '77'. Thanks again for the link to Trailservices. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campbell954 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) Happy to help and always looking to promote the kind of service offered by these folks. Like you said, hard to find people who actually care anymore. Enjoy your Griphoist - mine had allowed me to go where no man/woman has gone before Edited November 30, 2017 by campbell954 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Griphoist is a wire rope winch, I know you could probaly put one to use moving big rocks, but they ani't cheap unless you find one used and the seller really doesn't know what they have or really needs money badly. https://www.google.com/search?q=Griphoist&oq=Griphoist&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60l3j69i59l2&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
