Center the 1” square tube that is riveted to the canvas tarp on the auger side of the cart. Use a
3/8” drill bit to drill three holes through the square tubing and auger side wall of the cart. The holes
should be approximately 2 1/2” down from the top of the sideboard. Two holes should be placed
14” from the ends of the square tubing and the third hole should be centered on the square tubing.
Install the three stop brackets with three 3/8”-16 x 2” hex bolts and three 3/8”-16 centerlock hex
nuts.

On the opposite side of the canvas tarp, slide the 1” schedule roll pipe into the remainng sleeve on
the canvas tarp with the spline end towards the rear of the cart. Line up the spool on the roll pipe
with the spring return on the front of the grain cart. Drill a hole with a 1/4” drill bit through each of
the stiffening patches and roll pipe and drill one 1 1/4” from the edge of the canvas tarp at both
ends. (Six holes total). Use a hammer to install six of the 1/4” drive rivets. Slip the spring return-
loop over the spool. See the right picture on Step-8.0 for an example of the stiffening patch.
