Carrying out all kinds of work on the backyardarea primarily involves the application of a large number of efforts. Only after you can get pleasure from the result. Many owners of private territories today are trying to facilitate and mechanize some operations. For this we buy cultivators, tractors and mini tractors. However, the most common technique is still a motoblock, which has a low cost. If you use a motor block of the brand "Neva", then from it you can make a self-made tractor with your own hands. In this case, the work on the assembly of the new device can not be called easy, among other things, you will need to buy a special adapter that has a seat. This device will allow you to change the motoblock. The need is due to the fact that the motor block is a structure designed for field work on foot. While a mini-tractor made on the basis of a motor-block is a more comfortable device, since the driver will be able to sit on the seat.
Recommendation of the master
If you decide to make a self-made tractorwith your own hands, you should learn some tricks. So, to the adapter it is possible to get other useful adaptations by the type of a plow, a hoger and a harrow. This will make the unit more versatile.
Preparation of necessary materials
In order to make a self-made tractorwith their own hands, it is necessary to prepare a motor-block, wheel bearings, lubricants, metalware for assembly, consumables, a seat of the necessary dimensions, a wheel pair and metal. The latter will be needed to make the welded frame. The master will have to prepare a corner, channel and so on. The wheel pair must be provided with a solid axle, however, as an alternative solution, two axle axles can be used. As a fastening element, bolts, nuts and studs can be used. Among the consumables it is necessary to allocate all that is needed for welding, namely electrodes, gas, wire and oxygen. In order to give the product a final look, it is necessary to prepare a primer and paint.
Preparation of tools
If you decide to make a makeshift tractorhands, it is necessary to stock up a certain set of tools, such as: a locksmith in the type of keys, a hammer and chisel, and also a welding machine, which is useful for assembling the frame. If necessary, care must be taken to have a set for gas cutting. Cutting, as well as grinding metal workpieces will allow an angle grinder. Any master in the arsenal will have an electric drill with a set of drills, it will also be needed for manipulation. Prepare dies and taps, as well as devices for carrying out work on anti-corrosion protection and staining. For work where the wheel pair will be involved, turning equipment may be needed.
Design features
Если вы решили изготовить самодельный гусеничный tractor with your own hands, then you can buy a ready-made module, equipped with a seat and wheels. Alternatively, you can collect all the items yourself. In the latter case, a simple construction without a drive is created. The device will be deprived of a full-fledged steering column. The master should remember that the additions in the form of the steering column of the all-wheel drive do not give obvious advantages when manipulating, but the assembly process will complicate it. Control of the self-made tractor becomes possible due to the rotation of the transmission-motor unit. For this it is recommended to use a standard steering wheel. The motor unit needs to be supplemented with a module on the hinge, equipped with a seat, as well as a hitch for excavation. To implement this simple option, you need to assemble the frame using metal rolling and wheel pairs. It is equipped with a seat and two trailer units for fixing to the motor block. Drawings of self-made tractors you can prepare yourself or borrow from the article. Wheels in this case are not equipped with shock absorbers, since the speed of the device will be insignificant.
Technology of work
If you do not have a motor block in your possession, you canto collect a self-made tractor from "Zhiguli". The first step is to develop a kinetic scheme that takes into account the equilibrium of the structure. The device will consist of an engine, a rear and a front axle, a cardan transmission and a reverse gear. The engine will make the front wheels rotate. Through the chain, the torque will be transmitted to the reducer, then to the cardan gear and the rear axle. As a result, the rear wheels will rotate, which act as the driving wheels. When a self-made tractor from "Zhiguli" is manufactured, it is necessary to make a frame from corners and pipes. It is important at the same time to correctly locate the bushing and fork, which will ensure the turn of the trailer. The body is made of a metal sheet, the height of the sides should not be more than 30 centimeters. The next step is to install the driver's seat and attachments. After assembly, the unit is important to check for operability. At the final stage, the surface of the metal elements must be primed and painted. Such self-made tractors with a VAZ engine will mechanize earthworks, providing maximum comfort to the driver.
Conclusion
In order to evaluate the benefits of this machine,which is worth a lot of money, if it comes to the factory model, you need to compare some indicators. The cost of maintenance and operation of the mini-tractor will be cheaper by 4 times compared to a large analogue. Fuel will need 5 times less. The design is quite simple to manage, and special training for the driver is not required. Even a teenager will be able to deal with the management, so it is very convenient and convenient to have such equipment on the farm.
