High prices for modern snowmobile equipment simply force amateurs or professionals of winter hunting to make a motorized tow with their own hands.
It is a motorized towing vehicle (most often they are also called a motorized dog) - this is actually an ideal option for outdoor activities. Naturally, some “Buranian” details will form the basis of any such unit, though your knowledge and skills will be the most important tool in creation.
Step 1. Initially, the mount for the motor and for the gearbox is welded to the frame. Motosobaka will move with the help of tracks.
Step 2 For this, the necessary elements for us are taken from the "Buran". It must be cut across. This is done primarily in order to maximize its main chassis.
Step 3 As connecting elements, jumpers from special metal "P" -shaped profiles can serve. But the tracks will rotate two axes, which must be specially machined to the desired size - 50 cm long and 25 mm thick. “Cheeks” are welded to them, which are necessary for fastening all the leading sprockets.
Step 4 In addition, thrust bearings on all two sides are also fixed to the frame itself (that is, two at the rear and two at the front). They are inserted into the supporting parts of the housing itself. It is very important to take three carriages equipped with rollers so that the tracks themselves are supported. Previously, they undergo expansion and for this already sawn carriages begin to connect using inserts.
Step 5 Prepared carriages are placed on the “ears” welded to the frame. We put the motor with a pulley, connecting it to a four-speed gearbox with a belt drive (there is also a pulley on the box).
Step 6 For full control, handles are installed from the pipe itself (1.5 cm, as well as 120 cm long), which are pulled together with ordinary jumpers (in principle, in a completely arbitrary arrangement).
Step 7 After that, all this is closed with a metal profile, and all the amenities are created for the full movement and transportation of necessary goods.And yet, it is very important to make handles - both for legs and for hands. This is necessary in order to move as comfortably and safely as possible on snow and ice. At the same time, this motorized towing is very quiet and comfortable, and you manage to save significantly - about 60%, when compared with the purchase of a new snowmobile or some other similar equipment.
