- First video in the homemade ATV tracks build series. This time I'm welding together the sprockets and turning bearing housings and rear axle wideners in the lathe. #snowtracks #tracks #ATVtracks #roomikud #DIY #homemade #DonnDIY #eestiyoutuber

One of the best CZcams channels I am going back to the early ones and enjoying them very much 👍🏻🏴🇦🇺
Донн DIY
отличная работа! Как хот роддер и авто конструктор (АЗЛК до 1987) восхищаюсь твоим умом и правильной конструкторским талантом! Спасибо!
Donn, You are Awesome. Thank you for sharing your craft with the world. Hopefully it (the world) will become a better place. With your help. I have faith that it will. Carry on, Good Man!
I must say that this is impressive Donn, the way you use your lathe to do more than just lathe work. I'm a journeyman of 35 years and I must say that some of these things are a first. I guess that necessity IS the mother of invention, eh? Nice work my friend!
+Mike Jarvis Cheers, mate. I definitely have to agree on that necessity part. :D
You’re a true inspirator! Love these vids!
I'm very interested and pleased with what I've seen. You are a safe worker and you have an awesome mind. Keep the videos coming and I'll keep watching. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍🤘🤙
I am glad took time to look at your video it was good! We are trying to show our own people about ATVing that it is great. We are running into a lot bad attitudes here where we live. It real struggles to build...
I can't wait to see the rest!
Gee Dubb It'll take some time but eventually You will!
I was gonna skip or fast forward - but could not do it :-) great job, man, you know your tools!
So glad your new videos don't have music like this :D
Thank you for being awesome BTW
Could be worse. A lot worse. Some of them use really obnoxious music.
I really like how u do things, man!
Awesome! Can't wait for the next video.......
timbo1280 Good to hear that You're interested!
Looks like an interesting project. Great skills! I would like to say that you need a small undercut when machining a boss or threaded part. You will experience fatigue failure at extreme changes of cross sections!
Nice work!
Nice work and great filming of the work!! Thanks for sharing!
+Bob Stubs Thanks for watching!
+Bob Stubs I agree! I love these style of video's, great work and no bs...
Excellent job you definitely know what you are doing.
gaboonv1per Thanks!
Great work as always, now hurry up and get the Part 2 video done.. I want to see it :-)
UkWheelHorseBloke Thanks! If I'm honest I want to see them too, the tracks I mean... :) And use the hell out of them!! :D
Brilliant video thank
IF YOU MADE THAT BIG WHEEL GEAR FOR TURNING THE TRACK WITHOUT A CNC CUTTING TABLE FANTASTIC JOB
just love!
Zoran Stankovic Thanks!
0:23 Wish I had a cupboard like this 😂
You're a good at fabrication.
Awesome video liked and subscribed
Mukrunna Thanks!
Hello Donn good job well done
Impressive
Nice!
***** There will be more! :)
***** I am waiting impatiently :)
Ok now I really jonesing to see part 2. C'mon bro you're killing me.
Sic Boy The second part is in the making as we speak both virtually and for a couple of minutes in real life too when I return to the dungeon/garage. All I can say is - stay tuned! :D
@@DonnDIY Good things come to those who wait, Sic Boy.
For sure cool set up though.
That's great if you have a whole machine shop.
caseymaples19xx I agree. Need more machines though. Get one and you get sick and the sickness evolves and gets worse, thus the number of the machine increases. ;)
Didn’t even know you made this

Я один вижу советские станки, годов 70х?
Нет не один!!! Просто 100 пудов наши
Did you keep track (no pun intended) of and add up what you spend on materials? GREAT project and video!~
+meatybeatybignbouncy It should be around 1K EUR, labor not included. Cheers!

Honest question. If you have the lathe. Couldn't you have just made the cog from thicker material and machined a counter bore matching the profile you had? It would've saved you from drilling and welding all the holes to attach the 2 pieces.
Awesome build either way. How many hours in all did you have in it?
wow that wheelnut spacers do not look strong enough, what grade of steel is that made from, im afraid net even a 1/3th of the strengt of a 8.8 grade nut.further real nice job!!!
nice job :) but i just wondered if there is a reason you make those bearing housings so loose?
I knew I had to take the bearings out and put'em back in several times, just wanted to make the process easier for myself.
ah i see. i've seen you using the same technique in your other projects as well. smart. and in the end it doesn't really matter if it's a bit loose
молодцом)
Вячеслав Черкасов Thank you!
super hea teeb järgi
да блин у каждого дома такие станки стоят.....
Есть чертежи ?таких траков?
Just curious, what was the reason for drilling holes in the sprocket and then welding them closed again?
I have a feeling this was a really dumb question....
I welded two sides together. The holes I drilled was just a design element and weight reducing, maybe. There are no dumb questions. :D
***** haha, thanks man! I appreciate it! I'm still watching all the videos. Really awesome project!!
I'm glad you like it!
Anything to reduce rotational mass. Those tracks will eat up a lot of power compared to the tires.
what is the overall length of the track/ conveyor belt
Joey Heider 2430 mm in front and 2610 mm in the rear. Approximately. :)
Whens the tiger tank completion date....

I'm wondering a few things. 1. How much does each sprocket weigh? Looks like a lot. and 2. I see that the sprocket parts appear to be laser cut. So why not have all those extra holes you drilled laser cut, too? I wouldn't build this just based on drilling those extra holes. WAY too much time involved. And 3. How much did this project end up costing?
Seth Watson Don't worry man - they're just sprockets! Next winter I'll make a new set of "airy" sprockets like on bicycles that reduce the weight quite a bit. I had'em laser cut in a hurry so I did not ponder on the design so much as I should have because this setup is a prototype. There's no need to drill these holes by hand - that was just me killing time in winter. If you have at least one hand you could draw the holes in the gears on the CAD drawings or any shapes if you want to make'em lighter and have them cut. At first I invested around 700 euros, then bought new set of (12 pcs) wheels adding up to 1K. But in my country a set of tracks cost at least 3K, so I'm a winner from the get-go.
Do you still run these and if so how are they holding up?
I still have them, haven't run these a few years now since I sold my Honda TRX ATV. They didn't show any signs of wear yet up to this point. If anything they're overbuilt.
Where'd you get the sprockets?
These were custom made, the drawing by me and CNC laser cut in a company.
How much did they cost?
He really likes rust lol
+Rich Morgenstein I like what rust withholds. ;)
That's not rust, its patina.
Удлинители ступицы из стали 3 Хрень полная оборвет !
Where did you get rubber track from
Bought it off a guy who got it from a coal mine.
If u what me watch will watch my that what taking about

Homemade?... is an industrial process.
Cesar Fortin Well, then it is one man industry. :) But still homemade since I made them in my home. :D
.
BE FREE!! DONN D!!!!!
+I_am_unknown_ man I will! :D
Too bad the free plans are in Greek or some weird language
You do understand that blueprints/drawings are universal no matter what language is used to additionally describe them?
This is far from HOMEMADE, everyone has a mill in there garage.
You can let the shafts be made and weld the rest. Still homemade. 😉
No commentary. How is anyone expected to know what you are doing, why, what parts are used, and where were they gotten? And the stupid music.
Homemade? What a joke!
LOL So far I havnt seen anything not purchased . You are not MAKING tracks. Dont waste peoples time please.
