Diagram of Pivot Parts

OVERVIEW OF STEP PROCEDURE

1 Take 4 12 hole tubes. 2 of these are the Leg Cylinder Tubes, and 2 are the quick attach plate tubes.

2 Mount the quick attach plate bottom 3 hole plates. Mount the quick attach plate top 2x3 hole plates. Use only the 2 of the 3 inner holes, as the third hole will be used to mount the leg cylinder tubes. Use 6 of 7" bolts, and use a 2" bolt for the Top Quick Attach Plate Tube. The 2 inch bolt is used to avoid conflict in mounting the angled support.

3 Cut the Angled support from a 24" piece of 1/2"x4" plate.

4 Install the Angled Support.

5 Install the Leg Cylinder Tubes.

    • Mount the quick attach plate bottom 3 hole plates. Mount the quick attach plate top 2x3 hole plates. Use only the 2 of the 3 inner holes, as the third hole will be used to mount the leg cylinder tubes. Use 8 of 7" bolts.

  3. Build the Angled Support from a 24" piece of 1/2"x4" plate - then punch 2 holes at 20" spacing using a 1-1/16 bit in an open source Holepuncher Machine.

    • Zero - flip pivot upside down using a hoist

    • build cylinder bottom mount plates consisting of one by four whole plate pieces

    • cut bushings four-cylinder bottom mount and bolt cylinder mount one by fours to the pivot part one

    • Cut 7.5 inch 1 inch shaft to size and weld a T handle on it consisting of a piece of 2" x 0.5" rebar

    • place cylinder in position and place shaft through Buesching and cylinder mount and through second Bushing

    • hold in place to where it will be welded put a small spacer underneath the rod and part of the cylinder to fit exactly within The 4 inch cavity of pivot part one.

    • The bushing location should be exactly 1.6 inches behind the & whole of the one by four hole plate, Or right behind the hole So that people can be put in the fourth hole of the one by four hole plate
