Abstract
A system for fastening a tension rod of a grain tank of an agricultural vehicle to a frame of the agricultural vehicle to which the grain tank is mounted. The tension rod includes an elongated body extending between a first connection end that is configured to be connected either directly or indirectly to the grain tank, and a second connection end including openings for respectively receiving fasteners. A first member is either configured to be mounted to the frame or associated with the frame. The first member includes (i) openings for respectively receiving the fasteners, and (ii) a first non-planar mounting surface. A second member includes (i) openings for respectively receiving the fasteners and (ii) a second non-planar mounting surface that is configured to be directly engaged with the first non-planar mounting surface to limit relative motion between the tension rod and the frame in an assembled state.
