What can be done from a chainsaw engine. "Crazy" handles: homemade chainsaw

The home-grown "Kulibins" are in special demand petrol saw. It is used as a universal drive in the design of a home-made walk-behind tractor, and a rather powerful unit is obtained, which differs small size. To the number homemade units you can add combinations of the saw with a bicycle, winch, sawmill and other devices. Anyone can make their own various devices from a chainsaw, if he follows the drawings and works accurately.

We make a motor winch

Do-it-yourself homemade chainsaws at home, videos, descriptions - let's talk about it today.

Many people living in the private sector have an old gasoline saw on the farm - Druzhba or Ural. Sometimes, when wood is being harvested, a saw brings significant benefits. The rest of the time, she just lies around doing nothing.
Craftsmen managed to benefit from this by building a motorized winch and equipping it with rope-drawn tools. After such an invention, it became much easier to cultivate the land, plant and dig.
The unit weighs no more than forty kilograms, so cope with it on land plot it will be easy.

The tillage implement is provided with wheels, which makes it easy to move. The plow keeps itself in the furrow without the need for additional efforts on the part of the plowman. The furrow is twenty centimeters deep.

By replacing the plow with a hiller, you can use it in planting potatoes. And when harvesting, the device will also bring a lot of benefits.

Scooter with petrol engine

To create such a vehicle you will need:

saw engine;
chain;
bolts, nuts for fastenings;
commutator and accelerator from a mountain bike model;
old scooter.

The bar part with the chain is removed from the saw, everything else remains and will be installed on the scooter platform. The clutch is unscrewed from the crankshaft. Motor power will be supplied by a bicycle chain through sprockets. We will immediately warn you that there will be two problems - it is impossible to stop the engine, and when it starts, you will have to lift the rear wheel off the ground.
We fasten sprockets to the rear axle of the scooter.

We place the motor on the platform so that its sprocket is in line with the wheel group. Having drilled holes in the saw body and scooter platform, we connect them with bolts.

Having adjusted the chain along the length, we stretch it on the stars. The accelerator, mounted on the handle, is connected by wires to the on and off wiring so that it is possible to control the supply of motor energy.

Under such a design, a base is needed that is firmly fixed so that displacement and vibration are not created.

The manufactured elements of the base are set in parallel, according to the level, which is especially important in order to avoid creating free play. This is done on concrete surface, foundation or compacted earth. The frame is fixed with bolts or studs, welded to the reinforcement of the foundation.

Now the rail base is installed, fixed to the side mounts.

The order of work can be seen on the video:

Other fixtures

You can easily and quickly make a grinder out of a saw that can work autonomously and be distinguished by high power. For such a transformation, you need in the store building materials buy the necessary nozzles that will help you transform one tool into another. To reduce the chance of blade breakage, the saw can be equipped with protective cover, and reduce the number of revolutions with a high-speed gearbox.

A good solution is to make a portable generator unit from a saw. It will be useful for suburban area where there is no electricity. Twelve volts of power will be enough to get the illumination as from a normal flashlight.

To the number useful homemade you can add a motor to inflatable boat, a motorcycle (it will require more than one saw), a light aircraft.

Today, many residents of the private sector have old saws with internal combustion engines gathering dust in their closets, such as the Ural or Druzhba. This is not surprising, because progress does not stand still, modern equipment is much lighter and more convenient to use. Today, the editors of the site have prepared a review for those who know how and love to give seemingly old things a second life. The material will tell you about what homemade chainsaws you can do with your own hands, how to do it and what you need to work. Along the way, it is worth disassembling and ways self-manufacturing techniques in short step-by-step photo and video instructions.

What you can do with your own hands from a chainsaw: several options

There are a huge number of homemade products. Here everything is limited only by the imagination and skills of the home master. The editors of the site have collected 10 options for using chainsaws, which we will consider in today's article:

Snow blower for the local area.
Homemade snowmobile from a chainsaw.
A small sawmill that will be very useful in the private sector.
An ice drill is a good help for winter fishing.
Boat motor.
Moped from a bicycle with a chainsaw engine.
Karting, which will be a good helper in the comprehensive development of the child.
Generator - for those who like to relax in nature with comfort.
Winch - it will help pull the car out of the mud in the forest.
Petrol cutter.

Need to know! Any of the listed equipment is easy to purchase in specialized stores, however, many readers will agree that making it yourself is much more pleasant and cheaper.

Let's explore these options in more detail.

Chainsaw snow blower: manufacturing features and necessary materials

Consider how to make a snow blower, from which (in the manufacture of accessories for a chainsaw) in summer period you can easily mount the walk-behind tractor.

Important! Even if the home master has no experience welding work, with an inverter apparatus and some training on unnecessary metal parts, such work is quite doable.

To begin with, let's take a step-by-step look at the manufacture of the main node snow blower- an auger, without which snow throwing is not possible.

Illustration	Action to take
	The first thing you need is to cut from sheet metal here are some blanks. The thickness of the sheet should not be less than 2 mm. Outside diameter- 300 mm, and the width working surface- 70 mm. You will need 4 such blanks: 2 on each side (the dimensions are given approximately, it all depends on what the screw casing will be made of). After they are welded (two each) and mounted on the shaft. The most time-consuming work here can be called the stretching of metal rings to the state of a screw (spiral).
	Two parts are mounted on the shaft in different directions, and “blades” are welded in the middle, which will throw snow. It is rational to implement them from metal pipe 100 mm in diameter. The chain drive gear can be taken from any old motorcycle (driven, from the rear wheel).
	Frame. It can be made independently from sheet iron with a thickness of at least 1 mm, however, it is more convenient to use an old one for this purpose. gas bottle or a barrel from under fuels and lubricants.
	Please note that the assembly of the casing and the frame of the auger-rotor can be done on bolts. This saves the home craftsman from performing welding work after the auger is made (welding is indispensable in its manufacture).

The frame is assembled on skids or wheels - it all depends on the wishes of the home master, but it is worth noting that the design on wheels is more maneuverable.

Ask a specialist

“The higher the auger handle and the greater the angle of inclination, the more the snow blower will dig into the snow. This should be taken into account during production. It is better if the handle is adjustable in height and angle.

It remains to install the engine and tension the chain (also from any faulty motorcycle). We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the approximate drawings of such equipment.

How to make a snowmobile from a chainsaw with your own hands: the nuances of work

To make a snowmobile, you will need factory-made tracks, a brake or gas cable from a car, and a children's snow scooter. The main thing here is to correctly calculate the dimensions of the engine mount frame. Let's try to figure out in detail how to make a snowmobile out of a chainsaw.

Illustration	Action to take
	As you can see in the photo example, the chain transmission is performed similarly to the previous option. To increase the power of the unit, we increase the driven sprocket, and for greater speed, we decrease it.
	The frame with the engine is attached to the children's snowscooter. By the way, if you install wide wheels instead of skids, and fix a plow or cultivator at the back, you get a full-fledged walk-behind tractor from a chainsaw.
	The chainsaw is mounted on the frame without changing the design. Only the saw blade is removed.
	The cable is pulled from the gas supply of the chainsaw and is fixed together with the handle on the snow scooter handlebar.
	Such a snowmobile from a chainsaw (“Friendship” is preferable than “Ural”) is capable, in addition to an adult, of carrying a load of up to 100 kg.

Is it possible to mount a homemade sawmill from a chainsaw

It's pretty simple. There is no need to remove anything from the saw itself. It is necessary to weld the stand on which the chainsaw will be fixed with rollers (on which the installation will slide along the rails) and, in fact, install the rails themselves. What the design looks like can be seen in the next photo.

Important! All parts of the frame must be firmly fixed. The same applies to logs - you need to consider their fastening between the rails. Remember the safety rules. Their non-observance is dangerous for life and health.

Making a motor drill from a chainsaw with your own hands: how difficult is it

In order to understand how to make an ice drill out of a chainsaw with your own hands, you need to understand the drive shaft device, determine its dimensions and the attachment points of the drive gear. For the manufacture of an adapter for auger auger, you will need the services of a professional turner. Otherwise, problems with combining the auger of the drill (the handle is not needed) should not arise.

Do-it-yourself chainsaw ice drill schemes

To make it easier for the reader to understand how the work is done, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with several diagrams and photo examples.

It is convenient to use a gearbox from an old puncher as a connector.

Do-it-yourself boat motor from a chainsaw

Here, the only difficulty may be the manufacture of fasteners for the boat and the installation of the gearbox. For a technically competent master with education, this will not be a problem, but for a novice home craftsman it will be difficult. However, there is an alternative - to purchase a screw with a gearbox in a specialized store, and turn to turners for an adapter. In any case, it will be cheaper than buying outboard motor factory assembled.

How to make a moped from a chainsaw and a bicycle: an algorithm of actions

Illustration	Action to take
	First, remove the cover and dismantle the canvas. Next, you need to make just such a gear and weld it to the chainsaw disk. You should be careful - the asterisk must be fixed perfectly evenly. Otherwise, a chain that has flown off at high speeds may cause injury.
	We have the engine behind the seat. This is the most optimal place. The attachment to the bike frame must be strong. Pay attention to the position of the stars. On the rear wheel, in addition to the small one, there is also a large one. This is done so that the torque is transmitted evenly.
	We start testing. We pedal as if we were riding a bicycle. But we are tired and...
	... we start the engine, and the rear wheel begins to rotate already with the help of the motor, the legs rest.
	Now it remains to install the gas handle on the steering wheel, and on the road - a do-it-yourself moped from a chainsaw is ready.

Not to say that it is simple, but there are no particular difficulties in this work. By simple calculations, you can understand that the maximum speed of such a vehicle is 113 km / h. However, it should be understood that the person sitting on it adds load, and the speed decreases. On average, 65 kg of weight will reduce it to 60 km / h. That's why the best option there will be a moped from the Druzhba chainsaw, as more powerful than foreign counterparts.

Assembling a kart from a chainsaw with your own hands: a repetition of the past

The essence of the work is identical to the previous version, except that the engine is mounted on a kart frame, and there is no need to mount a gearbox from sprockets and two chains. Everything is much simpler here. If a respected reader has mastered the algorithm of actions for creating a moped, there will be no questions about assembling a kart.

How to assemble a gasoline generator from a chainsaw with your own hands

This job is easier than ever previous options. It is only necessary to think over the frame on which the chainsaw will be fixed (without the blade), and the generator itself, as well as the belt drive. Here, not sprockets with a chain are already used, but pulleys with a belt. In this case, you need to install the generator so that it can be adjusted to tighten the belt as needed.

Chainsaw winch: manufacturing and applications

The areas of application of such a unit are very extensive - from construction to pulling cars out of mud or pits. For manufacturing you will need:

old hand winch;
chainsaw;
a rigid frame on which everything will be installed;
two sprockets and a durable motorcycle chain to transfer torque from the saw engine to the gear of the gearbox.

Having familiarized with the device of the snowmobile and the auger-rotor, it will not be difficult for the reader to imagine how such a unit should look like. But just in case, we will provide below a few photo examples.

Making a chainsaw from a chainsaw with your own hands

A petrol cutter or trimming - that's what can be done from the Druzhba chainsaw if you have drawings, photo examples and some free time. Such a unit will be useful not only for woodworking. Installed on it diamond disc, you can cut tiles, porcelain stoneware or paving slabs. Below are photos of the finished units. Such attachments for chainsaws are inexpensive, and you can purchase them at any specialized store.

Features of creating homemade products from the Ural chainsaw

Such saws are more suitable for powerful units - a sawmill for example. However, despite the high power, it is clearly not worth installing an engine from the Ural on a bicycle to improve driving performance. The fact is that the increased power is compensated by strong vibration, which can lead to the fact that the chain will fly off on the go. And this is fraught with trouble.

Useful information! Undoubted advantage"Ural" is that the new device can be found on store shelves today. This means that for newer models there will be no problems with service and spare parts. The main thing is to keep your hands in place.

Features of making do-it-yourself homemade products from the Druzhba chainsaw

You can make any homemade products listed in our today's article from the Druzhba chainsaw with your own hands. Vibrations from the engine are minimal, and if you need to increase the power, you can upgrade the gearbox. However, there is a significant minus in Druzhba - the saw has long been discontinued, which means that there may be difficulties with maintenance and spare parts.

Given the relatively low prices for chainsaws in the Russian market, it would be more acceptable to use modern equipment for the manufacture of various homemade products.

Summarize

Making equipment with your own hands from old technology- quite a fun activity. It's nice to give a second life to devices that have served their time. Having trained on Druzhba or Ural, you can begin to remake newer models of foreign firms. In any case, it will cost much less than purchasing specialized factory-made equipment. Wherein House master You will also receive satisfaction from the work done as a bonus.

We hope that today's article was useful to our dear reader. We will be glad if you share your experience in making various homemade products in the discussions below - this can help novice home craftsmen. There you can also ask questions if they arise in the process of reading .. Write, share, ask. And finally, according to the established good tradition, we offer you to watch a small but very informative video on the topic of chainsaw alterations.

Homemade products made from the Ural chainsaw testify to its great capabilities. Originally created as a tool for sawing wood, it has become multifunctional in combination with additional attachments that the industry produces. However, craftsmen never cease to amaze with their ingenuity, creating new original devices.

Today, the industry produces convenient, functional and perfect devices for working with wood. For this reason, still workable Soviet saws have become undeservedly forgotten. But as it turned out, new saws cannot be reused, and old ones, on the contrary, open up opportunities for widespread use for other purposes. Most often, Druzhba or Ural brand chainsaws, which used to harvest firewood, can be seen in the villages. Now savvy minds have adapted the old units for other things.

The Ural chainsaw was created on the basis of the Druzhba saw, which for a long time helped lumberjacks fell wood, surpassed it in quality and performance. Its main components are a drive with a two-pin or four-pin motor, a cutting bar and a handle. The universal drive allows the saw to be used in various options. An important fact for variation are its design features:

engine of sufficient power;
light weight and compactness;
ability to withstand extreme conditions;
autonomy.

The clutch eliminates overload and breakage of the working parts due to its tightness design.

Thanks to these qualities, the chainsaw has found application in the widest areas. National economy. Homemade products from the Ural chainsaw can be made both simple and complex. The simple ones are:

mowers;
cultivators;
walk-behind tractors;
boat engines;
pumps;
winches;
ice axes;
Bulgarians.

The following homemade products can be attributed to complex inventions:

snowmobiles;
snow blowers;
sawmills;
snowmobile;
power plants;
helicopters.

Features of creating homemade products

Do-it-yourself alteration of a gasoline unit will require certain knowledge of design, technical drawing. Then the parts made according to the drawings will ensure accurate and high-quality assembly. At home, parts are produced and assembled using a lathe, grinder, welding machine.

A cultivator made from a chainsaw does not have enough power to handle large areas. But he is quite capable of coping with a small personal plot. To convert, you need the energy of the engine, which turns 2 gears, with one of them transferred to the drive wheel shaft. Such a light cultivator is quite within the power of many craftsmen.

The mower, obtained by alteration, is able to operate for a long time and continuously. Such a homemade chainsaw is made using simple manipulations by removing the tire along with the chain and drive sprocket. After graduation summer season the structure is restored and used for sawing wood.

It is unprofitable for owners of small garden or garden areas to buy a walk-behind tractor. Its maintenance and maintenance, the purchase of spare parts, fuels and lubricants require significant additional investments, and often they do not justify themselves. If you have an old chainsaw, then you can make a walk-behind tractor out of it. The design principle will be to use a gear system consisting of two sprockets. If power is supplied from the engine shaft to the drive wheel shaft, the working bodies of the walk-behind tractor will begin to rotate. A home-made walk-behind tractor from a chainsaw with a built-in drive power will completely provide care for a small area.

In the middle part of our country, winters are usually frosty and snowy. A do-it-yourself chainsaw snow blower will help you clear the snow. To do this, you need to equip the device with a screw mechanism. The material for the blades must be selected durable and elastic. Rubber meets these requirements well. The principle of creating a snow blower mechanism is the same as in other devices. The torque from the engine is fed to the auger. It is convenient to mount a snow blower from a chainsaw on a sled, and you can use it to dump snow water pipe, having previously made a bend.

So, thanks to the talent and resourcefulness of craftsmen, numerous and useful homemade products from the Ural chainsaw appeared.

The chainsaw is very popular among home craftsmen, as it is a universal drive for original home-made designs.

Light weight and solid power, combined with compact dimensions, allows this "lumberjack's dream" to be aggregated with an ice drill and a bicycle, a sawmill and a winch.

Interesting homemade chainsaws can be made by anyone who confidently works with welding machine, grinder, and if necessary, it can also stand up to a lathe.

In this matter, knowledge of the basics of design and drawing will be very useful, since the accuracy of all dimensions and build quality are the main conditions for the normal functioning of a unit powered by a chainsaw.

Without going into technical details, we will consider options for the most interesting designs using it.

Homemade options

The first thing that comes to mind when you think about what you can do with a chainsaw is its use as a sawmill. Many developers had to dissolve logs on a beam with this tool.

Holding the saw on weight in your hands is very difficult to control the accuracy of the entire length of the cut. Therefore, with a three or four-meter length of a log, it strongly moves away from the intended line. Solving this problem can be quite simple. To do this, the chainsaw is rigidly fixed on the frame, which moves along the guide profile.

The log in this case lies motionless and is carefully sawn along the entire length without wobbles and oblique seams. If you equip such a mobile carriage with four lifting screws, then you can accurately set the thickness of the sawn timber.

A sawmill from a chainsaw will also work on boards without problems, only in this case there will be too much waste, since its cutting chain is several times thicker than a band saw.

snowmobile

A light homemade snowmobile made from a chainsaw is more complex in design than a sawmill, since here you need to take out gas, clutch on the steering wheel, and also take care of the shock-absorbing suspension of the supporting frame.

In addition, you need to develop yourself or use ready-made caterpillar drawings and correctly transfer torque of sufficient power to it from the motor. Since the chainsaw does not have its own transmission, the clutch on such a snowmobile is centrifugal with a V-ribbed belt and chain.

To increase traction, a “traction” gear is placed on the caterpillar drive shaft, the diameter of which is larger than the size of the chainsaw drive sprocket.

There are usually no problems with the steering mechanism, since it is taken from an ordinary bicycle or scooter and modified in such a way that the central axis moves the rods that turn the skis. The engine power of a snowmobile must be at least 5 horsepower, so it is better to use a Ural chainsaw for this purpose.

The winter line of home-made vehicles will be supplemented by chainsaw snowmobiles, which are structurally simpler than a snowmobile. They are driven by a large diameter propeller that directly rotates the gasoline engine.

A significant limitation for the cross-country ability of such a machine is low power chainsaws. Therefore, you can move on them only on a flat surface of rolled snow, ice of a frozen lake or river. To travel through the fields, you will need an engine with a capacity of at least 12 “horses”.

Those home inventors who would like to make a backpack-type helicopter out of a chainsaw should know the same thing. Such a machine will require not one, but at least two engines operating in a coordinated mode.

Moped

This vehicle is most often made for the sake of principle, and not for practical use. The main driving force of its creator is the desire to test his strength as a mechanic and prove to others the original use of this cutting tool.

The basis for the design is usually the old grandfather's Druzhba chainsaw and no less ancient bicycle, with which you can carry out any experiments on altering the frame for mounting the drive.

The power transmission here is carried out through a gear pair by means of a bicycle chain, and the start of such a homemade product is reminiscent of preparing for cutting firewood.

Less common are more advanced models, the basis for which is a mountain bike, equipped with reliable brakes and shock absorbers. Such a moped from a chainsaw is equipped with a gearbox with a gear ratio of 18: 1 and a variable speed transmission, which allows you to comfortably ride it at the speed of a conventional bicycle.

boat motor

This option for using a chainsaw is quite simple, since the task here is to transfer torque from the saw motor to the propeller. A homemade outboard motor does not need to install a transmission. It will need to be done for lathe reliable adapter from the saw drive gear to the propeller shaft. The screw can be used from a standard outboard motor.

The photo shows a variant in which there is a gearbox in front of the propeller that changes the angle of rotation of the shaft by 90 degrees. In more simple models do without it, fixing the engine on the boat so that the shaft is immersed in water at a slight angle.

Motor cultivator

It is difficult to make a full-fledged walk-behind tractor from a chainsaw due to a lack of power and traction. But a light motor cultivator based on it was able to build many home craftsmen.

The design of such a machine is very simple: the motor rotates a pair of gears and transmits increased traction to one drive wheel.

snow blower

The chainsaw motor does not care what to rotate - cutting chain or snow blower auger mechanism. Here everything depends only on the design abilities of the creator and his ingenuity.

Using a Stihl chainsaw with a power of about 3 kW, you can easily build a good device for cleaning the area from loose snow. To simplify the design, some craftsmen refuse to install wheels using conventional sled skids.

The most responsible part, on which depends how well homemade snow blower will do its job, is the screw assembly. It is driven by a gear pair and a chain. The blades are made of thick cord rubber, and the intake device is made of galvanized steel sheet.

frame design

Under the snow thrower, you can adapt a plastic sewer pipe, fixing it on the body of the intake.

Chainsaw asks for the sky

The most daring inventors have long been eyeing the possibility of using a chainsaw as an engine for aircraft. However, the “strength” of this tool for the development of airspace is not enough. Therefore, no one has yet succeeded in making a backpack helicopter out of one chainsaw.

The calculations showed that this requires at least four chainsaws (total power from 20 hp) of a forced design, which would allow them to increase speed several times and work in a coordinated mode.

Motobur

This device is useful not only when building a fence or foundation from screw piles, but also during winter fishing, when dozens of holes have to be drilled in thick ice.

Since the ice drill operates at low speeds, in order to adapt the chainsaw motor, it is connected to the auger through a step-down worm gear.

Winch

Motor winch - very useful device, because with its help you can not only easily pull out a stuck car, but also lift a heavy load to a height, pull a boat onto land or move a sawn tree.

The power of such a homemade product depends on the power of the used chainsaw, and its pulling force can reach 1500 kg. Such a winch must be equipped with a sling, hooks and anchors for attaching to the ground, a tree trunk or a car.

Power station

The camping power plant is assembled on the basis of Ural or Druzhba chainsaws. It consists of a frame, a motor with a gear reducer, a control panel, a generator and connecting electrical cables.

1 - chainsaw 2 - gearbox 3 - drive cord belt 4 - tension bar 5 - generator; 6 - control panel; 7 - clamps; 8 - carrier frame; 9 - toothed stop of the saw; 10 - nut for attaching the frame to the gearbox; 11 - drive pulley

A good owner will not throw away anything in vain, especially if we are talking about quality metal. If you understand the nuances heat treatment metal, you can do chain forged knife, which has served its resource.

Such a thing looks no worse than the creations of Arab blacksmiths who forged swords from the legendary damask steel.

The versatility of petrol chain saws is proven not only by their multitasking and functionality, but also an abundance of useful homemade products that craftsmen learned to do it by hand. They save money on buying expensive factory-made devices that most people don't have the money for. But, as they say, the need for fiction is acute. Therefore, speaking of chainsaws, many represent not only logging or pruning orchard, but also winches, ice drills, outboard motors, grinders, sawmills, which technically competent craftsmen have learned to adapt from everyone's favorite gasoline tool.

Means of transportation deserve no less attention - bicycles, mopeds, go-karts, ATVs and much more that can be assembled using chain saw with a gasoline engine. We will talk about how and from what to recreate them and surprise others with an incredible motorized design in this article.

Do-it-yourself chainsaw motorbike

Not every happy bike owner is thrilled with the need to pedal and expend their energy. More convenient and less costly in terms of power is a motorized bicycle.

Making a bike with a motor from a chainsaw with your own hands is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. For this you will need:

bike;
a saw with a gas engine power of at least 2000 W - this indicator will determine whether it can move off. As practice shows, engine power of 2 hp. it is enough for the motorbike to reach speeds of up to 40 km / h;
reservoir for the future fuel tank;
cable from an old bicycle;
handle to be able to adjust the throttle;
bolt ties, nuts and other small expendable materials to create fasteners;
connecting elements for creating a message between the wheels and the engine.

The process of how to put a chainsaw engine on a bike is as follows:

we aggregate the drive shaft - remove the rear wheel tire and put a tire with a diameter of up to 2.5 cm. This equipment will help to take the engine speed, and, like a gearbox, reduce the speed;
we weld a stand from the corners by electric welding - it will help to install the engine from a chainsaw;
alteration of the clutch - you can use the centrifugal from the factory saw by connecting it to the wheel;
we adapt the gas tank - it can be located next to the engine, or on the frame;
we fix the wire from the ignition system of the motor on one of the handles of the bicycle;
attach a cable from the carburetor to the gas handle so that throttle control is simple and quick;
we equip the motorbike with protective equipment: mirrors, a flashlight, and proceed to the test homemade bike from a chainsaw.

As you can see, putting a chainsaw motor on a bike is not so difficult.

How to make a moped from a chainsaw?

The dream of the youth of most of our fellow citizens was and remains a moped. It develops a higher speed and has a structure that is more perfect than the motorbike described above. Buying a ready-made moped is not a cheap pleasure. We will tell you how to make it from improvised materials.

For this you will need:

a motor from a serviceable powerful saw (in our version, this is the Friendship model);
2 wheels from an old bike;
pipe with a diameter of 2 cm (metal);
cable;
bicycle sprockets; as well as forks;
old motorcycle parts - a ready-made fuel tank, a headlight, and a seat if desired, although you can do it yourself;
steering part;
throttle lever.

The process of creating a moped looks like this:

we cook the frame to which we connect the wheels from the bicycle, the forks, as well as the gas tank and the lantern;
we adapt the motor - the composition of the installation will depend on the configuration of the frame;

fasten the gas tank and battery;
check again to installed elements didn't chat;
we make a chain drive - it will allow the wheels to take the torque of the motor and move. You can take a belt instead of a chain pulley. But we must not forget that its wear and tear will be noticeably higher;
we establish the ignition system - we connect the battery and the brake lever to it;
fit the exhaust pipe.

The assembly process is completed: you can start testing the moped.

Do-it-yourself chainsaw karting: step-by-step assembly

Karting is a modern vehicle that can cover a considerable distance in a short period of time. An exclusive kart is the dream of every car enthusiast. It is not necessary to participate in races with it: you can easily move on rough terrain, along rural roads, and indeed everywhere where a larger car cannot pass.

Among options rigs have gained immense popularity homemade chainsaw karts - no less powerful and productive than their serial counterparts. Let's consider it step by step.

Preparatory stage

It starts with a detailed drawing and design. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the finished drawing, which will save time on designs;

Suggested dimensions Suitable for a person of average height. For teenagers and tall people the design must be adapted to their individual parameters. For teenagers, you can use a different scheme, presented below.

We collect the base of the construct

This is a chassis, the manufacture of which will require:

square pipes (up to 10 m);
steel pipes;
thick steel plate;
accessories for blocking the bottom;
armchairs.

The process looks like this:

pipes are cut according to the proposed scheme and welded by electric welding.

Here is what should happen after welding;

the front axle is equipped with plugs;
the rear axle is aggregated - it is welded to the frame itself in such a way that its turning is ensured;
according to the drawing, the bottom is cut out of metal or durable wood and fitted to the frame;
seat - in this case, you can not mess around and take a ready-made from an old kart or car.

Motor kart equipment

remove the motor from the chainsaw;

we make the base for the motor - from a steel plate and a corner. Its pulley must match with the last frame structure;
fasten the pulley with screws;
we take 2 metal rods, which we bend at a right angle - this will be the go-kart steering wheel drive;

we adjust the brakes - it is desirable that braking extends to all 4 wheels. Do not forget about the brake pedal: it will be very uncomfortable to press the brake with your hands;

we equip karting with wheels - wheels with a small diameter from an old racing car will do;
we establish the ignition - we connect it to the throttle valve and the gas handle;
reliability control assembly and testing of the finished unit.

Karting is a luxury for an ordinary person, but with the help of improvised means you can create its budget version - a go-kart with a chainsaw engine.

No less famous homemade, which the domestic "Kulibins" have learned to make. To recreate it, we need:

a scooter designed for the weight of the person who will control it. It is desirable that he initially had a manual braking system. The pneumatic wheelbase of the scooter must be strong;
chainsaw from which the engine is removed - medium and high-power models are suitable.

The scooter assembly process looks simplified compared to previous homemade products:

To begin with, we remove the motor base and fix it in the back of the scooter frame. We observe that the motor and wheel sprockets match;
we adjust the manual accelerator with the ignition of the chainsaw - so the operator will be able to control the movement process;
if necessary, equip the scooter with a brake pedal, but in most cases - a lever for manual control the scooter is enough for its full-fledged work.
testing a scooter from a chainsaw - in case of serviceability, a new motorized device is ready and can be used.

Homemade children's ATV from a chainsaw

The last homemade product that we will consider will be dedicated to ATVs. In fact, to assemble an ATV, you need the same materials as for a go-kart or a tricycle:

engine from an old powerful and working chainsaw;
gearbox - increases the thrust of the motor and assumes its working speed;
ATV frame - it should be stronger and more stable;
a driver's seat is good if there is an old moped seat: a teenager will be more comfortable in it than in a bulky car;
wheels with a rough tread, a diameter of at least 34-35 cm each. This will improve the cross-country ability of the ATV and make it an analogue of an SUV.

If desired, the prefabricated design of the ATV can be brought to perfection with shock absorbers: the maneuverability of the ATV will increase, and the working stroke will become smoother.

Homemade vehicles are cheap, but not always reliable. They can only be used with strict observance of all safety regulations.
