Designers snowmobiles operating in rural areas, and most — often used parts of decommissioned tractor Puscuta PD-10 propeller systems for their cars. It is clear and logical: the engine PD-10 is widely distributed in agriculture, it is necessary to recast it we option is not the challenge. Accumulating the experience of operating planes with such engines, the designers achieve a very noticeable increase their performance by improving purging, selection of carburetors, etc. it is safe to say that at present, a single “rural” snowmobile engine, created on the basis of the PD-10 are the most proven and reliable machine. It should be added that in the construction of chassis, control systems, etc. in recent years also created a lot. According to the editorial, timely information about these updates can assist the novice builders.

Familiarity with this machine was held at last year’s show “autoexotic” (photo No. 11’2006) — a celebration of homemade and vintage of motor equipment, which has now become traditional and held annually in Moscow at the Tushino airfield. Represented the car Alex starilov her new owner. He tells her readers of our magazine.
Just so you can say about worn parts restored by the method developed at the Chelyabinsk Institute of mechanization and electrification of agriculture.
Man I’m not so wealthy to afford to have multiple vehicles for different purposes (even homemade). So the car that was going to build, was conceived as a versatile vehicle not only for transportation of passengers or goods, but also as assistant in different economic Affairs.
“In the USSR, consistently implemented program of transforming agricultural labor into a kind of industrial— recorded in article 22 of the new Constitution of the USSR. Mechanized, full of modern appliances, all major production processes in fields and farms, and the Park of machines and mechanisms continues to grow with new technology, help improve the efficiency of agricultural production and improve its quality. Your contribution to the creation of units, and devices, which eliminates manual and time-consuming operation in field husbandry and animal husbandry, are making the innovators — how in industrial plants, as well as directly in the farms. Their ranks today join the young force out of graduates, following the example of their peers from rural schools of the Kostroma region, who decided to link their fate with the life of the village.
Needless to say that coasting on sleds is one of the most popular pastimes — a great form of active rest in winter. Is it because in different countries there are many quite different from each other types of sleds, from simple sieves, stuffed with straw, to multi-piece designs, the manufacture of which only a very good craftsman. Gradually transforming and improving, Luge has won recognition in the international arena and even among the Olympic sports: sledding “skeleton” and “Bob” played the most important sports award — the medal winners of the Olympic games.
For many years he was a subscriber to “Modeller-designer”, learned from your magazine a lot of useful and thanks to him “crush” on the bike (velomobile) theme. But to make own design was only in later years, after retirement. Now I go to this unusual crew (see photo), surprised his fellow citizens and gain of energy and health.
Tractor I built out of assemblies, mechanisms and components of decommissioned automotive and agricultural equipment. The D20 engine, diesel, power of 20 HP transmission—four-speed, the car GAS-52. In the transmission there is a reverse mechanism which secures the tractor to move backwards as fast as forwards—from 6 to 26 km/h.
Near the base camp in the district of Tsugaru passes along with the tourists, I have built mini-hydroelectric power plant with a capacity of 15 W and voltage 220 V. This is sufficient for night camp lighting energy-saving lamps or LEDs. Day also can charge batteries of cameras and camcorders that can connect a radio or tape recorder.
“Oriole” — so I called built for the son of the electric car. The design idea came to me about two years ago, and much credit for this journal “modelist-Konstruktor”. Several months of estimates, calculations, dozens of layouts, hundreds of paintings and drawings of the body has led in the end to be quite rational, in my opinion, the solution. In the process of development of electric vehicles important issue was the problem of using abundant materials, parts and components, and as it seems, I managed to solve it.
