Awesome build! Thank you for sharing. I love your home built tools you use. Not all of us have endless amounts of money for buying a shop full of tools. Nice to see that it can be done with a little ingenuity.
Cheers man. Thanks for watching! ;)
They look great Donn. Can't wait to see them on the quad.
Thanx for sharin'!
quaddingsous Thanks man. Will work on it to bring the correct presentation to you all.
You have the patience of a saint, cutting out all of the individual parts for the tracks. :)
Having the goal in mind during the cutting process makes it fun. ;)
Wow... This is just amazing and you did everything in you garage with just regular tools and that one tool was even homemade. Awesomeness right here!
Oxenan17 That's just pure stubbornness. If I had more equipment I'd use it for sure. :D Thanks!
You have exceptional fabrication skills. Wow these are rugged! While I would have made a larger contact patch and less inclined area at the front of each track and I would have built it out of much lighter steel as these are only going on an ATV, 4mm thick steel would be adequate with gussets.
Вот у тебя терпение.... Уважаю!!!
FANTASTIC Donn, like how you do a project to completion. Can't wait to see them on the atv. Great video as ever
fraser douglas It's always interesting to see how things are made. I've watched the show "How ... is/are made" too much. :)
Looks great! Can't wait to see them on the ATV!
Michael Caldwell I've actually tried them out for the first time yesterday (February 4.) but it'll take some time to make a video of it. Need to tweak the tracks here and there.
Мастер на все Руки👍🇷🇺 с большим интересом смотрю ваши видео😎👍
I'm speechless. So impressed by your excellent work.
***** Thanks!
Fantastic work as always Donn.
UkWheelHorseBloke Thanks!
Very good job! You put a lot of work into it, and they look very professionally done.
Cheers!
Simply brilliant!
Sic Boy Dude, are from England? I like how people in UK say "Brilliant" or "Cheers, mate". That is just so heartwarming. :)
Wow.... That was fantastic!!
Cheers buddy! I'm glad you like it.
Thats badass man they came out sick and deff more rugged then the ones you buy just prob alittle heavier cant wait to see you test them out ....
great craftsmanship, awesome build

love your work that you do awesome
Cheers, thanks for watching!
I give you a like for your diy tools!
Wow Don, it's time to found your own factory!
***** Yes, man! I like how you think!
Look awesome!!!!
Matthew Patton It's mostly the color, dude. :D
MEEEEGAAAA Job, Sir💪
Amazing man !!!!!Very good done , too bad you are to fahr away from me , to can meat you , you are a genius with all the work which you do , like the frenchs says "chapeau"!!!!!!
Horia Razvan Thanks, man! France is not very far from Estonia. One Europe all! :D
very cool, look forward to new developments.
Павел Украинец In the next part I can hopefully show them in action. Fingers crossed!
Look forward to ;-) I was very inspired your idea and began to develop the drawing.
ficou magnifico parabens
@ Stoneyburke - I sure hope the axles will hold up. I've seen tracks on an old TRX500 before so I'm thinking they would work. At least for a while. :)
***** Молодец мастер! Класс! И на токарном и сваркой нормально варишь. Что за станок самодельный по резке метала? Обзор не думал на него сделать? Защиту туда не мешало бы поставить на всякий случай! ;)
Donn DIY projects
DONN!!! Your a BEAST.......
Sometimes I feel like it, yeah.
Super!!!!
Дмитрий Лузган Thank you!
nice jobb !!!!
Thanks bro!
i watched all five videos. awesome job. i was wondering how you joined the two ends of the rubber track? i planning on building and snow bike out of my dirt bike. and using an old truck tire for track. aldo do you think I'd have a problem running the steel bars you used on the inside of the track instead of on the outside? this would allow me to run it on the street if i need too.
+John Chassie-Rideout I just overlapped the ends. Better way to go for a fast dirt bike is using a snow mobile track. Basically you can attach the lugs in the inside of the truck tire but you don't have much grip in the snow then (in my opinion :P).
парень ты гений)
As you said, you really are lazy man :D haha
Mad job! Great work and video! Can't wait to see how it rides!
Wiktor Szymański Part 5 out now and it rides! And I'm still lazy! :P
yes in deed Donn I do think thay would work well on a car or truck! ....... if you think the spacers between the spindle and sprocket might be too week to carry the weight, just remove the spacers and replace them with the rim the car/truck uses now and adjust and weld the rim to the sprocket .....that would do the trick for sure aye!
+Lar Mayotte Yup!
an amazing!
***** Thank you!
i was thinking in making these but then i thought that would be a good idea to make tracks that could strap on the stock wheels with an added smaller wheel in front and back atached with a frame to the wheel hub or simialr. what do you thenk? btw your tracks look awesome and cool.
For your track tensioner a small bottle jack might work better
Nice job 👏 👍..I'm just wondering how did you made the joint between?
top job
David Moore Thanks!
афигенно получилось
The tracks look great! I was wondering how they are holding up, have you had any issues with the plastic lugs or where you overlapped/joined the conveyor belts?
+pilotoelguapo Nope, no issues.
This is an awesome project, tank you for sharing .... we have a honda fourtrack 350 with locked differentiel.. do you think this beast is strong enough for the tracks? Tank you!!
I believe so, yes. It'll hold up for sure if you're not hard on it.
you are a machining fool, id give you 10 stars, your good :)
+Anthony Chavarria Thanks!
Very great! But I think that the rubber triangular will revolve around its axis. Sorry for my english))
Ильнур Калин The tracks are equipped with antirotation hardware so no worrys about revolving.
Ильнур Калин Or do you mean the little track guide triangulars? These things are tightened pretty hard so no chance of them revolving also. ;)

i just watched the last video again i see how you joined the track now. bit would the metal attached to the track pose a problem if i put it on the inside of the track. one other question. how would i ste the spacing for those metal track peices to match the drive cog?
+John Chassie-Rideout I've done a version of a dirt bike track using an old tire without cutting it up. It is p.i.a.. You'd have to measure the inside and divide the result into whatever spacing you consider acceptable. And then fabricate a drive cog. But it's doable.
Воистину!!!
Awesome build, What 3d design program did you use ?
I'm using Solid Works.
@@DonnDIY Ok I'll check that out, I'm planning on making a loader for my 1972 Gurbrod small tractor and rear 3 point. I traded my atv a while back for a large massey but its still not running LOL
Hello) It's awesome work!
Tell me, please, why there is a corner hooks?
Thank you! What do you mean by "corner hooks"?
it's. What is this for?
radikal.ru/fp/a937f07317f14a189aa75717d7fa321c
Aaa! I get it now! It's for turning purposes. When the lugs are cut like that it makes it easier to turn the vehicle. And it functions as a pants saver too cause I've ripped a lot of pants on uncut corners while stepping over the tracks. :)
thank you for answer)
Это 😎 круто👍
:D
I'll buy two sets, please!
Great work but how he join one end of the track to the other end
The ends are overlapping.
very cool, how heavy are they?
Juan Rempel They are the bomb. They weigh around 45 kg / track. But there's always a chance for liposuction. :D
Do you think it's possible to use aluminum for the track crossbars? Surely much, much lighter. So long as they aren't being in contact with the pavement, wear shouldn't be an issue I don't think.
красава
I know this was 4 years ago.... Do you still use them and are they still working
Yep, still have them, they're still working. 💪
Bad ass
+Kevin smith Cheers!
Amazing job my man, I was just wondering if you shouldn't have had the the track double over itself where the two ends meet? It looks to me like you only have the one row of bolts in it, maybe before it's to late try to over lap it a wee bit more before it lets go on you. I wish I would have made a video of the ones I built. I have been running them for two years now. I had one outer belt rip, this I s why I am bringing it up to you. We have pretty much everything else the same. I am going to build a set for my 3/4 ton Dodge 2500. I do off road recovery and a set on my truck would be the cats meow. If you don't mind how many hours are you into your build? I was about 50 hours making mine. I made everything from scratch, without a lathe....LoL I had a cost of $600.00 Canadian when I was finished. My next set I built will be able to rock both ways instead of just the fronts, I have been in a couple tight spots and it would make a huge difference if the rear of the system was set up to pivot like the front. Once again, I am very impressed and not bashing on you at all, just making a couple pointers on where I went wrong....LOL Best of luck my friend and can't wait to see them in action. Oh where bouts are you from?
lakerdrinker Hi. Thanks! I'll make a clamp that disperses the stretch more evenly on the belt connection. That'll do for starters I guess. I've built few similar tracks before and fortunately haven't had any issues with the overlapping conveyor belt. Thanks for the input. The pointers are in their right place.
Mine took 4 times more - about 200 hours, but lots of it was brainstorming, standing and staring at the project. With the rocking - I went the standard way like they use on Tatou. It does not grip so good on humps since the tracks will not rock towards the ATV and will not copy the terrain correctly. They pretty much work at maximum performance while going through some ditches or similar.
Thank you for the good wishes! Nice to talk to people with common interests and know-how. Btw, I'm from Estonia, Europe. ;)
what is material used for teeth on inner side of track ( little pyramids ) .
Plastic.
Donn DIY thanks, well done.
awesome. How many hours do you think you have spent doing this?
Satoxian1 Just a tiny bit over 200 hours.
Whats that black stuff youre dipping the grouser bars into?
+UToobRandomness Paint.
+Donn D. Ahh... lol and here I was thinking it was some special coating ;)
+UToobRandomness Nope, just thinned paint so it would drip off the bits but still coats most of it. ;)
How did you make the 3D model and what software did you use?
I drew the 3D model in SolidWorks.
Really! I'm currently using SolidWorks working on a project myself. Do you have a tutorial or any pointers on how you designed the tracked wheel?
It probably would have been difficult to build this project without the 3D software. Good interpritation.
Hi. What type of plastic you are using for teeth?
Eugen Mishko Black? :) If I'm honest I don't really know what type it is. :/
1К62 рулит!!!
:)
Could you send me the 3D Model in DXF ;)
ola voce pode me enviar o arquivo em 3d

The shot of angle iron being cut on a chop is pertinent. A chop saw, made by others, using a cutting disc made by others to cut angle iron made by others, accompanied by music made by others. Let us celebrate his inventiveness. Let us celebrate the insight afforded by vodka.
