I just fabricated a replacement whiffletree for my 2000 Niagara. I don't want to say how I've been popping it up for the last 4 years. You all would never take me seriously again!
I took a phone pic that I'll get attached, but basically, I re used the yoke by smashing and grinding out the original nut and inserting a 3/4" x 10 nut. I cut a piece of 3/4" threaded rod, ground the threads off one end, and drilled and roll pinned the other. I bought a bearing and flanges and caged it in with another nut and a washer.
I searched and I don't see that anyone else has claimed to have done it on any forum.
I guess it's on me to post what I did.
I will return with a picture. 8)
Edit: Too tired to figure out how to BB code in an image.

Edit #2: the rod isn't bent. That's the stitching app on my phone creating a pan out of the pics I took.
