Take that 12 inches piece and tighten the motor over it with jublee clip

Put the elbow joint over the motor rotating shaft and make 3 holes from sides and screw them tightly

Now make a hole from the front of the the elbow and tighten the nut and bolt from it

now take that 9 inches piece and make holes of 3 inches apart from the upper side and 2 cm from the downside where the motor will be connected to it connect the piece to motor's elbow joint with nut bolt .

Now the motor is ready for action it's fully capable for pull and push mechanism.

Fixing the Motor in Place

Now put the motor in place as you can in the picture find the perfect place where motor shaft's t joint is not touching any other part simple make a holes on both sides of the pieces on motor is resting and tighten them with the screws and the final part is to drill hole in the tray holder from where the motor will pull and push it up and down

not you have to tighten the nut and bolt for those parts but use a little bit loose bolt so it doesn't move freely but work as a rotating part just to make them connect you don't have to tighten it .

Here we go it's fully complete and working automatic tray just put the egg tray over it with eggs and tighten it with zipties and plug the 12v power to motor and our very slow moving egg tray is working perfeclty.
