ON THE SCHOOL – “CRAYON”

AT SCHOOL - With a minimum of welding operations, avoiding difficulties of manufacturing in more modest circumstances than the school shops complex assemblies and precision parts to make your tractor versatile — such a task put before him a young technology under the guidance of teacher work secondary school number 3 g. Vyatskie Polyany N. Dulova. Developed original design I. golovizin, S. Karaulov, A. Martynov, Yu. a. Nagovitsyn and other school craftsmen began amicably “to translate into metal”. And now deservedly reaping the results of their work.

AISLE DIFFERENT – THE TRACTOR ONE

AISLE DIFFERENT - ONE TRACTOR

Constructed by the readers of “M-K” mini-tractors, as a rule, are designed to perform agricultural work for General use. They strictly conditioned by the dimensions of the bridge track to change except that a permutation of the elements of the wheel, when the different location of disks and the rim allows to fit the machine to the varying width of the aisle. Interesting technical solution to a longstanding design problem to minimize the risk of damage to plants during the processing of row spacing of tilled crops mini-tractor, V. Chirkov suggested sabotage the village of Lotoshino (Moscow oblast). In his new machinery MT-7 (on the previous and highly acclaimed experts on VDNH USSR, see “M-K” 2/83) track width can easily be changed. As they say, by order! Because the front axle of this mini-tractor is sliding, and the required track width on the rear axle (taken from GAZ-51 with a subsequent shortening of his original technique) is achieved by replacing conventional wheels (right) on a special, fatty hub.

When you create a small mounted implements, hand tools for tillage, as well as in solving other technical problems of Amateur designers are often faced with the necessity of installation on the axis of certain of the parts at an angle, the value of which could easily and quickly change. For example, depending on the nature of the cultivated soil, its moisture content, etc.

WAS THE FRIDGE… HEN

WAS THE FRIDGE... HENFolk wisdom urges you to count your chickens before they hatch. Unequivocally, we should note, however: in the period of shortages that swept the country, it is impossible not to take care of advance purchase of “source material” — those living fluffy lumps that will turn into future, kvacek. In the spring they weight in gold. Nights are around the walls of the hatchery in the queue, wondering: will carry — will not carry them with chickens.

WINDROLLER IS A SAILING TRICYCLESailing has always been considered a true male. And not by accident: this sailor has the necessary power and speed of reaction, physical endurance, ability to keep calm in even the most difficult circumstances. However, sailing there are two significant negative First — seasonality in our mid-latitudes means to do it can be no more than five months in a year. And second, the need fairly large areas.

PLOW: LOOK FORWARD AND MAKE OURSELVES

PLOW: LOOK FORWARD AND MAKE OURSELVES“The walk-behind paired with the transport carriage (thanks to “M-K”!) made. And now to get-to bring something on the farm for me, as they say, no problem. But good plow still on the road. Wait till the pages so my beloved journal will appear in-depth material on how this plow to calculate and do it.” Similar requests requests come to the editor a lot. Apparently, from those subscribers who failed to see the previous performances of the journal on particular topics (see, for example, “M-K” 1’88, 3’89, 9’90, 5’91, 10’91). And so — a new publication dedicated to the ancient and, as evidenced by life itself, timeless tool of the husbandman.

TRACTOR “WORLD ON A STRING”

THE TRACTOR

To make myself a mini-tractor (MT) is a dream of many. But they sometimes stop because of the difficulties in acquiring scarce nowadays powertrains, gearboxes with the right gear ratio, differential gear and other parts. Other (basic this beginners homebrew) deterred by the complexity of intricate drawings and manufacturing technology design. A longtime subscriber of our magazine, the author of a number of original designs of small tools V. Boldyshev offers not to despair and peculiar to each natural nous braver to do things. How! Technology, which sometimes intuitively come to many of the homebrew, collecting in a single structure existing units and details “at the place of installation”, doing virtually no daunting drawings. A “deficit” around, taking advantage of opportunities Vtorchermet… or lowly of the landfill, which sometimes careless business executives charged fuses good.
