TO REPLACE THE SHOVEL

IN PLACE OF THE SHOVEL

From time immemorial came to us a shovel, which V. Dahl, the Creator of the Explanatory dictionary of the live great Russian language, gave a surprisingly apt definition:”shell blade for digging and vygreba loose bodies”. This is a manual tool firsthand known to owners of summer cottages and garden plots, not to mention those who from infancy a peasant to stick with the earth-wet nurse. However, the most curious, knowing the pros and cons of an ancient shovel, are increasingly trying to improve or even to replace it with another more suited to perform several specialized tasks hand tools.

A QUARTER TON OF CARGO ON BOARD THE “JAVA”

In the photo: at the wheel — the author's son VitalyIs it possible? It would seem that it is hard to imagine this sleek high-speed motorcycle as a truck. However, it perfectly copes with the role of the heavies, thanks to the reliable and durable engine with good fins, as well as ample torque throughout the range of rotation of the crankshaft. I must say that this is my “Java-350/634” sidecar “Velorex-562” operated for ten years. Mileage was about 60 000 km With a full load the bike confidently overcame long distances and on motorways and on dirt roads. The roads and highly rugged terrain was not an obstacle for him. Trouble-free service of the motorcycle in these conditions is a sufficient proof that under normal conditions, in addition to three riders, it is capable of transporting significant cargo. But where to place it? The load capacity of the carriages is limited by the magnitude of 105 kg, to install additional trunk it did not make sense. The logical conclusion is to make a cargo trailer.

GAS SOLDERING IRON

GAS SOLDERING IRONIn the practice of the rally often faced with the necessity of soldering or welding. A few years ago I accidentally saw used for this purpose, benzopyrene production of the GDR, then had the idea to do the same, but running on gas. The result exceeded all expectations — and now gas-heated soldering iron is a decent place to set my tools. Exploitation it during body repairs, radiators, bits of copper cables with large cross sections confirmed the efficiency of the design. The main advantages before traditional “hammer” and a blowtorch are: the possibility of continuous soldering, the temperature setpoint, which is important when performing large volume of work, as well as the possibility of regulating the degree of heating.
