Abstract
A fastening system for an agricultural system includes a first mounting plate coupled to a first component and a second mounting plate coupled to a second component. The second mounting plate aligns with the first mounting plate. The fastening system also includes a coupling assembly coupled to the first mounting plate by a retaining fastener. The coupling assembly comprises two clamping plates which move from a first position that facilitates alignment of the first and second mounting plates to a second position that at least partially sandwiches the first and second mounting plates between the two clamping plates. The retaining fastener extends through the two clamping plates. An alignment fastener also extends through the two clamping plates and is selectively tightened while the coupling assembly is in the second position to drive the two clamping plates to couple the first and second mounting plates to one another.
