Components and Sources:
2 1/8" Job Smart Socket from Tractor Supply: https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/pro...
3 inch galvanized pipe cap which you will need to drill a ~5/8" hole in the dead center (not the one I used but one found on Amazon): https://www.amazon.com/Cap-NPT-Galvan...
3 Square Bearing Plates with 1/2" bolt hole, like these from Home Depot: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Simpson-S...
I got these at Tractor Supply as well but no links available:
1 Grade 5 or 8 bolt: 8" x 1/2" coarse thread (MUST BE 8 INCHES LONG, 7 inch is too short)
2 Grade 5 or 8 nuts: 1/2" with matching coarse thread
