Donn DIY man I love this project. Your doing such a fantastic job. I only wish I could see it in person. Or better yet. Go for a ride with you lol. Maybe pull some trees out. Also love your woods trailer with the grapple. My brother is rebuilding a bombardier from I think the 70’s. It’s pretty cool too. Has an old flat head he just got done rebuilding from the ground up. It’s a Chrysler spitfire if memory serves me. Going to be used to pull wood out. As we go through tons with the outdoor wood furnace we use to heat both our shops. Thanks for taking the time to video the process man. Keep it up. Your doing great work!!! Ian. Vinalhaven Maine.
Hey how did you get the torque converter on the 1” shaft ? Aren’t they tapered ? I am trying to do that like right now ! Any help would be like amazing man !
14:45 before you added the text explaining what the clutch brake is responsible for, I was eagerly looking forward to all of the comments telling you that you don’t know what you are doing and that bicycle brake wouldn’t stop the vehicle. That thing looks really cool. You’ve done a great job yet again. 👍

Alrighty then. First, good job. Next, I like the grinder work. Next, the fancy and shape shifting drill press. Then, all the exactness of the different tensioners. 👍 Finally, waiting for the ride along. Just can't wait to sit back, pop a top and ride along with you. I'm sure I'll have to watch it multiple times to get my fill of the fun and beer. However, at least I'll have a designated driver. LOL thanks for sharing, cheers 👍👍
Of all the years I have been watching youtube creators, this has to be my most favorite built yet. This is so far beyond my skillset lol I want to try but man this is amazing.
Everything is very beautiful and sensible. Everything in its place. A lot of work and revealing dexterity in mechanical assembly and construction work. Handsome Donn! I hope in the next review I will see how you run it in and do not give it a descent! Ukraine is watching☝️👍👍
While we all sit back and wait with nerves causing muscles to twitch, Donn sets to it and gets a knuckle bust just to show how it's done. Few words are needed, we all been there, I assume. Coming together well and that Powder Coating looks fantastic, well done guys. Looking forward to hearing and seeing the Buggy move on it's own. Fabulous job Donn !!
@@DonnDIY If anything I think it might be too light, didn't you say it is about 700kg? plus another 200ish for the tracks... What is the volume of the body?
В России вездеходы делают из за плохих дорог , а в Эстонии для души , молодец парень . Вот вам и загневающея Европа. Цвет классный , пролетарский .Удачи
Looking good Donn! I should be right behind you later this year finishing up my Thiokol Spryte restomod. Let us know how those solid axles work out for you. None of the snow cat or amphibious or solid frame track builds I have seen survive bumps and off road terrain without bending the axles, breaking wheel bearings or tearing up bogies/tires/wheels... I had a set of solid frame Mattracks and I was always fixing them. The old no suspension snow cats had very similar issues. Keep the videos coming!!
Hell yeah brother!!! Let her rip tater chip!!! This thing is sick! I can't wait to see what it's capable of. And if you'll decide to do some crazy upgrades later in it's lifetime. Great video series!! Very well produced and thought out. Very nice. Thank you for sharing your builds with us!!!
Hot Diggity Donn, you have come a long way with your building and fabrication of the amphibious craft. Can not wait to see you playing outside with it. You will get the bugs out pretty quick and it’s going to work!! Sure have enjoyed the ride this far and looking forward to the play time on the water. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred.
I've been watching from the start I like watching you being persistent in your quest for doing it right KUDOS" I noticed you made a way to tighten the cvt belt, but you don't want the belt tite at all otherwise it will be in slow all the time. You will have to open the sheaves on one and close the one on the engine at that point it should be tight enough as to not let the belt come past the sheaves on the driven clutch (the big one) I have been riding snowmobiles for 42 yrs and you want to adjust the belt properly!! Enjoy the fastest ride yet!!!
Cool. I've been told the belt must be tight and you're telling it shouldn't. So I just have to test the setup myself I guess. Feel and see what's best. Thank you for the input. 😉👍
Must feel great assembling this for the hopefully final time! I'm still in awe of how awesome that gear shifter turned out, not to mention the entire vehicle overall!
@@DonnDIY Донн, конструкция генератора не очень надёжная, особенно для клинового ремня. Плюс из-за того что генератор не зафиксирован, ремень может быстро изнашиваться. Я механиком работаю насмотрелся на такие вещи. И тоже сами ваяли дополнительные генераторы.
G’day Donn fantastic what you have accomplished, when you wheeled her into the shop that was something else, great choice of colour it shows the engine ect., really well , I have watched all your videos on the build and you have always been methodical in your work and clean. Thank you mate it was great its been great watching the channel, thanks for that kind regards John PS I will still be one of your subscribers when you take on another project. John
Wow, I’m in awe of your skills. You are a great craftsman and machinist and film director. I would be hard pressed to get 1/16 if the amount of things accomplished that you get done. I enjoyed watching the progress.
Neat job adding lightness to the engine frame.👍 Just a suggestion should your cycle brake not be up to the job, there are some cool small motorcycle rear hyd disc brake callipers that might work, also bar mounted master cyl with a remote fluid tank.....but I’m thinking you know this alread...😉 The build is coming along very nicely.
Might find scooter or shitty china dirt bikes caliber for real cheap from local kids that have blown engine from theirs. Amount of sky teams, BSE, samurai cross and such sold online here is staggering. You get whole bikes for less than 100€
Glen Melancon, this channel jus crossed my feed and I watched this video in its entirety. Needless to say, I LIKED, SUBSCRIBED, and rang the dinner BELL, just in time for the completion. I guess I'll be going back binge watching this weekend. Lol.
@@silvergrizzly316 I hope you spent your weekend binge watching like I did going back to when he started to clean the barn to making the shop, ect,ect....
Congrats man, you did it. And I've to say that I've been with you since from the beginning, I never thought you could pull this off let alone in this amazing way. You're persistent and hard-working. Wish you all the best. And of course, we look forward to the ride
Ну сколько смотрю твое видео, не как не могу дождаться испытания самой техники , я так быстрее состарюсь пока ты его выпустишь на тест . Выпускай скорей, а то собераешь ее и если что то будет жалко времени потерянного если не получится ходовые испытания.
Yup. It took some time to get to it but finally it is up and running. Have to actually break the gearbox in too. At least I've heard it on the web. I haven't read the manual yet... 😬😆
Very nice! (Except for the zipties😉) if the bmx brake is not up to the task, you can just fabricate an adapter to replace it with a modern mountainbike disc brake👍
You could get free bicycle hydraulic set with ton of brake pads from me, those last a long time and can survive harsh conditions for years. Also hell of a lot more braking power. I also have many different mounts and disk thickness is pretty much the same as the one you made from 1.5mm to 2.5mm
The running joke here in America is, if it can't be fixed with duct tape (gaffer tape) and baling wire, it can't be fixed. I see no problem using zip ties to hold the brake fluid reservoir. No point in over engineering a mount for them since most of this vehicle already has been. Looks great can't wait to see it move under it's own power.
If that's dosnt work perfectly. it's advisable to use bicycle hydraulic brake that will gives you fast friction engagement because your engine are now equiped with an alternator with some others accessories gears and engine idle mode might be adjust to be a little higher rpm to drive those attachment sufficiently since your CVT only counter lower idle mode.

I can't wait either. I just want to slap it together as quickly as I can and go for a ride. 😆

u should watch colinfurze
Don´t worry - just doing!!! The Glory begins with the first step!!!!!
Огромнейший объем работ и отличный результат. Снимаю шляпу перед Вашим творчеством. 👏👏👏
Наконец-то покатушки.👍👍
Спасибо за просмотр!
Каждую субботу жду твоих видосов. Но вездеход подошел к завершению. Что дальше будешь делать?

Yes, let's hope it moves on it's own. 😆
Looks real damn good. Those lightening holes gives engine mount pro look! 💪👍
Yes, I think so too. I don't really think I shaved off enough weight to please people who say this red hot amphibious vehicle is too fat. 😆
Donn DIY , there is always nay sayers. It will surely float, challenge will be balancing the weight, which you sure took in considaration.
@@DonnDIY If anything I think it might be too light, didn't you say it is about 700kg? plus another 200ish for the tracks... What is the volume of the body?
It's too fat if it won't float. If it floats, how can it be too fat?? :-)
I’m glad to say I have been through this project start to finish. What a journey.
Cheers man for being here for all those episodes! 💪
That magnet drill press is awesome.
It is!

Thank you for watching the builds! 👍💪😉
That copper brake line can stretch/enlarge its soft you may not have good enough braking .good job like the build 👍
I can always change the copper line to steel. Good point.
Innovation and raw talent is a beautiful combination to have. Really enjoy watching you videos.
Thanks man!

Let's hope everything goes as planned and nothing major happens that prevents me from having fun with this thing. 😀
You’ll have fun with it even if it’s on land. Your skills will not let it go to waste. 👍👍
She really looks GREAT! Fine workmanship! Can't wait to see you put her through her paces.What a JOURNEY!
Testing this thing will be interesting! 😀
You might consider a disc brake caliper for your CVT brake. I'm extremely excited to see this thing drive Donn!
Мужик, впрочем как обычно. Хочется почаще видео. Так всё супер!
Я бы делал видео чаще, но я был очень занят. Сожалею!

Looking good! Greetings from Houston, Texas USA
You are doing an outstanding job! I love the simplicity of your work and awesome craftsmanship. 👍
Cheers. I repeat to myself all day long - the more simple the solution the better. Hope I've done it the simplest I can.
I have not seen every video of this build, but the one’s I’ve seen are incredible. I’ve built a lot of stuff but I’m no match for you.

There are a few cable disc brakes from motorcycles, a Kawasaki Z200 had one.
It's been a long time since I've been this excited to see a build come to completion!! Love it!
I'm excited too. Can't wait to do the very first lap in the yard. 😀
Yes im waiting for the demo day . You have worked very hard and thought it through very well . Hope it performs great. Curious do you hunt ?

You the Best bro. Perfect project 👌👌👌💪💪💪
I'm really looking forward to the next video. Can't wait see this in action.
Awesome! A fine job, sir!
Thank you very much!
Can’t wait to see it in action.
Love the stealth camo paint!
😆
I'm ready for the next episode to see it drive
I'm also ready!
Milling machine up and running I see! very nice.
Yup. It took some time to get to it but finally it is up and running. Have to actually break the gearbox in too. At least I've heard it on the web. I haven't read the manual yet... 😬😆
Are you like a God or something? Best channel on youtube with out a doubt! Nothing but talent my brother
Thank you for the kind words. 😇
Your a true craftsman, , great job !
Looking extremely good and can’t wait for the next instalment !! Well done.
Thanks!

I'll bet you are excited taking this nice machine out for the first test-drive. !
I am!
Can't wait to see it work
Me neither. I'm getting really anxious! 😆
Very COOL! Nice work dude! 👍👌😊
Looks like you have some nice new bits of machinery there. Nice vid. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Cant wait the final result... Great working again... Thank you....
Thank you for watching!
Very eager to see the Vehicle running......always checking if there is an update.......hope the next part is coming shortly.....;
Let's hope I can assemble it very fast. 😀
Nice PROJECT!
🤘
Love the innovative tensioner setups you created. If that bike brake doesn't work out maybe a disc brake rotor / caliper from an old ATV / quad?
Very nice! (Except for the zipties😉) if the bmx brake is not up to the task, you can just fabricate an adapter to replace it with a modern mountainbike disc brake👍
I have a small scooter hydraulic brake caliper hanging on the wall too. I just thought it was too heavy to use. 😀
Hell of a job
Waoo ya sabia q no me equivoque con tigo eres el mejor ingeniero felicidades por tu trabajo excelente toda una obra d arte mecánico
¡Gracias!
You could get free bicycle hydraulic set with ton of brake pads from me, those last a long time and can survive harsh conditions for years. Also hell of a lot more braking power.
I also have many different mounts and disk thickness is pretty much the same as the one you made from 1.5mm to 2.5mm
Very cool. How can I get a hold of you?
AWESOME!!!

Your vids are captivating and your projects is awesome. I makes me happy to see you so successful on RUclips.
Thanks man.
The shot of you in just socks was priceless... it's my new goal. ;)
a slightly amused comment, this freshly painted shell looks like frikin' lava under the light-bulbs xD
If that's dosnt work perfectly. it's advisable to use bicycle hydraulic brake that will gives you fast friction engagement because your engine are now equiped with an alternator with some others accessories gears and engine idle mode might be adjust to be a little higher rpm to drive those attachment sufficiently since your CVT only counter lower idle mode.
This is awesome! Can't wait to see it go!
