  2. Mount bearings with 1" bolts loosely on the side plates P5 and P4 with bearing mount plate P23.
    • Mount bearings with 1" bolts loosely on the side plates P5 and P4 with bearing mount plate P23.

  3. Tack sidewall P4 into place at 90 degrees. Hold sidewall (P5) into place, and then stick Shaft 21 through the bearings to ensure proper alignment of side walls. Tack sidewall (P4). Now tighten the bolts, ensuring the shaft is aligned correctly.
    • Tack sidewall P4 into place at 90 degrees.

    • Hold sidewall (P5) into place, and then stick Shaft 21 through the bearings to ensure proper alignment of side walls. Tack sidewall (P4). Now tighten the bolts, ensuring the shaft is aligned correctly.

    • Finish welding the seams for the back plate, bottom sheet and sidewalls (P1, P3, P4, P5). Weld in the 1" nuts on the inside side of the sidewalls

  4. Tack P7 into place with a gap of 1" on both ends from the bottom sheet and back plate.  This distance is important for the two P6 parts to be welded in next. there should also be a 1" depth in from the top edge of the sidewall. Put in both P6 parts and tack. Tack in the second P7.
