Grate mounts.

The grate mounts attach to the primary arms and to a nut welded to the grate.

Tools Required

  • Torch
  • Punch with 13/16" Dies

Materials Required

  • 4"x4"x1/2" angle: 36" (2)

Diagrams

Wanted: Better diagrams, showing where hole placement is

The grate mounts.


Fabrication Steps

  1. Punch the hole on the bottom of the supports for each. This should be 1" up and centered on the proper side.
  2. Torch away a 4" section on the top of each grate to make it like the model shown. Remember that the two are mirrored. Cut away the corner so the hopper wont hit it, about a 1" 45 degree triangle.
  3. Torch a slot for a 3/4" bolt at the top of the mount, centered, on the long side. The top of this should be 3/4" away from the top of the angle, and it should be at least 1.5" long.
  4. Grind away all the slag.
