Materials
- [12] Door Hinges
- [12] 1/2" x 1 1/2" bolts
- [12] 1/2" washers (12)
- [12] 1/2" lockwashers (12)

Steps
- Torch components as shown. Note: there are holes in the above diagrams which won't be torched until the hopper installation.
- Punch 3/4" holes in 4 of the hinge plates as shown.
- Weld a holey hinge plate, a non-holey hinge plate and 3 hinges together as shown. Note to make sure the side of the hinge that sticks out most is on the top; this way it won't interfere with the hopper metal below when installing the hopper.
- Torch the hopper shapes. Grind away any excess slag. Punch all of the holes shown.
- Place 1/2" bolts thru the side pieces and weld them.
- Make sure you are making them mirror images of eachother.
- Bolt the hinge plate assemblies to the side pieces using a washer, lock washer, and nut on each bolt.
