Option 2 of 2: Farm Rear Box Hoods
(See Figure 2)
Procedure: Temporarily place the rear hood on the rear ledge of the box with its flange (D) inside the box. Place two
bent angles (E) into the tubular supports (F), which are welded to the underside of the rear hood. Slide the hoop
holder bracket (G) vertically until it is positioned just below the bend in the bent angle (E). Mark hoop holder holes on
the inside box wall and secure the hoop holder to the box wall using the 1/4"x1" lag screws provided. Apply firm
downward force on the ends of the rear hood and clamp the hood down on both sides. Drill a 1/4" hole through the
bottom area of the bent angle (E). Be sure to drill the hole as close to the bottom of the hoop holder as possible to
prevent the rear hood from moving. Insert the hitch pin (H). Weld the bent angle to the tube (F) on steel hoods only.
For aluminum hoods drill a 1/4" hole through the tube (F) and the bent angle (E). Secure using the roll pin (I)
provided.
Step 3: Optional Ratchet & Strap Installation
(See Figure 3)
Procedure: Insert the bar-hooks through the washer welded to the front (D) and rear (E) hoods. Slide the vinyl ratchet
covers onto the strap before hooking up the ratchet, the location of the ratchet (F) is not critical. Adjust the straps so they
are reasonably tight, once tight slide the ratchet covers over the ratchet assemblies. With ratchet brackets being optional,
they may have to be bolted in with 5/16 truss head bolts, to accommodate ratchet straps in standard hoods.
Note:
Do not overtighten the straps or the front and rear hood will deform.
