Step one is to modify the top of our upright pole. To do this we used some cutters to make a notch the and then drilled 2 holes a inch from the top and an inch below that for zip tie mounting points.
Next we will find the center of our aluminum U channel pipe and using our sprocket as a guide drill 2 holes for our screws.
Here we have the sprocket mounted to the aluminum main arm and the motor attached for a test fit for clearances.
Now its time to start assembling our components. Here we can see how the frames base is assembled using the 3 T fittings.
Next we will mount the main drive motor (without the arm to make our lives easier) to the top of the upright. I used 2 screws in this model of motor to create a strong mounting point.
