@20:10 Sintered alloys is a fascinating process. I worked in a factory that made those type of parts. First, a formula of powdered metals is mixed in an industrial blender. Then the metal is pressed in a 20 or 50 ton press. The parts that come out are fragile but can be handled. Then the parts go through a furnace on a conveyor belt. The furnace "sinters" the parts at a high temperature fusing the powdered metals together. The parts come out just as hard as solid machined blocks of metal. The process is used to make small complicated parts that would require too much machining to make practical manufacturing cost effective.

I like that you're turning it around as tanks drive from the front of tracks and any crud in the tracks can "shake out" before engaging the sprockets. And exhaust will be aimed away from you!
I am so jealous of Taryl! I like tinkering with things and seeing how things work,but THIS guy knows his stuff! Keep up the great videos and thank you for a lot of knowledge I use on my lawn mowers etc..!
The math required to obtain an ME degree destroys any creativity that the prospective engineer may have. I worked with some University ME majors, years ago, in their drone program. None of them had any sort of mechanical skills and had never built anything with their hands. The all had major issues understanding mechanical advantage and why the servos they were using could not move the control surfaces that they wanted to move. These were juniors in college, at the time.
@@jeffpiatt3879 As a Mechanical Engineer, I wholeheartedly disagree with your comment. The small few that you met does not in any way represent all Mechanical Engineers. I think you would enjoy Allen Millyard on RUclips, an Engineer and absolute wizard at building with his hands .
Taryl, it doesn't matter if the drive or driven wheel is in the front. The wheels drive the tracks and the tracks drive the vehicle. Weight distribution is what your after. Look at the John Deere 8RT.
Yup, tracks aren't wheels. Why do snowmobiles drive from the front? Because that's where the engine is. Why does an Abrams battle tank drive from the rear" Because the engine is out back. The whole point of a track is -- it don't matter what end you drive it from.
Spare parts making a new contrapt-ion in the grass rat garage, good video Taryl and gang. Thanks for all of your efforts to get the vids out. Taryl knows how to keep things on Track! Theres our dinner.
Hi Taryl, I don't think that flipping the drive to the front will gain you much if anything. If it had 4 wheels than yes, it would spin the front tires and lose traction as the weight shifts to the rear tires. The way it sits now the tipping is caused by too much power to short tracks and a high center of gravity. If you were to hook the trailer/sled like a gooseneck place a ball about center of the tracks and move the engine forward to clear. Place the wheels on the trailer towards the back so when it's loaded it adds more weight to the tracks as well as the back. This should help keep it more stable and also make it easier to steer. Fun little project, looking forward to more!
Agree. With tracks the power is transferred to the ground the same no matter which axle drives it. I see what Taryl is saying about a rotational force being applied to the rear axle that wants to tip the machine back, but that same force would be applied to the rear end through the tracks and have the same effect. Weight distribution will solve it.
Taryl, like this project a lot. They made snowmobiles like that in the late 50’s, and early 60’s, using Kroger, and Hirt engines, with a sled behind it, and it could ride 2 adults, or adult and 2-3 kids. Yup a brake would be safe for sure. Great video😊😊
Hey Taryl! Love the videos! Getting that thing balanced so it doesn't want to flip over will be interesting. If the handle bars lock into position, that's gonna help out a lot. I look forward to the rest of the series.
Taryl. ❤this is so cool. You truly are THE mad scientist of small engines. It’s quite obvious of your skill and experience. I can’t wait for parts 2plus!!!! You have helped me countless times on builds and mods and even giving me confidence. I even order from pro parts direct. Keep up the good work. Now there’s your dinner!
Taryl, I sure like the stuff you come up with!! I have an idea fer you - instead of adding weight, make a hinge with 2 bearings to connect the motor/track part to the part you ride on. That will keep the motor/track part from leaning back under load - it will always be level with the part you ride on, and your weight as a person will hold the tracks down. You know, like them big tractors that swivel in the middle. I am amazed at all the stuff that you find to make stuff with - all them spacers and bushings and sprockets and everything. You are an ingenious man! You sure can throw Ronnie a long ways! I think it should be an Olympic event - the Ronnie throw. Maybe come up with a more dressy name....
If you look at a HOLMES 440 wrecker boom....you will notice that that hoisted weight is applied downward to ahead of the rear axle by a boom and bracing system.....yet the towed weight is behind the rear of the tow truck. Maybe that may help you in a design of your hitch. I know there are trailer towing hitch systems that also apply downward weight of the towed trailer.....but they only apply to the rear axle and the front still lifts up. The Fergerson 3 point hitch system revolutionized farm tractor... by prevent front end lift up ...when the plow hit a immovable rock. The 3 point apply a downward pressure on the front of the tractor.
Seeing that Hodaka in the back ground makes me thing way back in the early 80s when I had one of those WOMBAT 125. Great times on that old bike back in the day lol
are you sure it will make a difference where the drive axle is in the front or back? if it has tire's, I'd say it would matter but with tracks I'm not so sure.
Cool build Taryl, I was going to say you might also want to put a little 90° on the muffler so it's not shooting exhaust fumes towards you, but you solved that by reversing everything!
This is a great idea, I could not help thinking that if you had a bike frame maybe a small motorcycle or something and used the treads in the back and put a ski where the front wheels go it would be really cool. Not sure if that would work but I want to try it.
Taryl , question??? What good would it do to flip it around? It's not like a front drive mower or a rear drive mower where only one end drives. Since it has tracks it makes no difference which end the tracks are driven from, it will pull exactly the same from either end. What you need is a pivoting hitch on a half circular drawbar mounted on the back that the bar that goes to your sulky hooks to. That will keep the front from coming up, sort of on the order of a David Bradley type hitch, or a farm tractor pivoting drawbar. It will act as a solid unit that way.
Put a 1 inch receiver hitch on the front. You can add attachments for weight, v plow in the winter, one wheel wagon in the summer. Thanks for the continued great videos.
Gonna be a cool contraption! I have a 4wd scrub cadet snowblower with messed up traction wheel parts. I upgraded my beloved scrub cadet track blower like yours by swapping the original 5hp with the 8.5 off the 4wd. Kept the 4wd remains because I thought I might try to make something out of it like your project.
Hey Taryl, Please, Please, with all due respect, I don’t think ( I’m pretty sure) it will not make any difference if the front or back wheels are driving. It still will rear up. It’s driving on the tracks. If you put it into reverse, It would want to rear up in the opposite direction. Yes Snowmobiles drive from the front , but they wheelie with the best of them. Do what you think is best but I hate to see you go through all that work and not change anything. And I know how much time and money goes into building and fabricating. Just a friendly observation. Love your videos. I’ve been working in the industry for 40 years myself. Recently retired and now fixing my own projects. 👍.
So cool! I think that if you do the boat thing on the nose, with the bottom riding up, the thing will want to climb ahead of the tracks and reduce traction. I like the horizontal wedge idea better to displace snow left and right.
You might try tying the steering cables into a single lever that you can turn left and right to disengage each side. How about a steering yolk from a bicycle or a small motorcycle with a lever atttached opposite a set of handlebars. Then attach the cables opposite each other onto the lever. As you turn the handlebars one way or the other they would disengage each track accordingly. Then you could put the throttle lever onto the handlebars just like on a quad.
I like how you show everything you do so someone could just follow along. It would be awesome if you found a blown up sled and made one from that sometime.
Love it! A creative genius at his finest! Wish you would go live on night, Q/A? Using the air hammer is excellent, im wondering about the connecting rod bolts, if they might vibrate loose? Does the factory use any type of thread locker during manufacturing?
This is a cool project Taryl. Go cart disk brake and used kid ski for the runners. Ski boot attachment for the mounting point. Just make sure you put a kitty on the front slope plow. There's your dinner.
Very creative. I would put your creative, problem solving skills up against anyone (even up against the great Mustie). Amazing what you can do with "junk". Watching your videos gets my week off to a great start. Thanks for your willingness to do this each week.
I have that exact same snow blower but branded as Yardman. I will have to check those bearings on mine, to make sure they have enough lube. It's a great machine, I bought it brand new in 1996 for just under 1K.
This was so cool. I've been wanting to build one of these for ice fishing. Small enough to throw in the back of the van. I'd just stand in the sled (or sit) with the equipment and cruise over the ice and snow.
There was a guy who took a garden tractor and snowmobile tracks and built an entire ice fishing shanty around it. Just epic He stayed warm and watched his tip ups and the blessing for him was it allowed him to have fun at an age that would preclude him from dragging a shanty out on the ice.
That ought to be pretty damn neat when you get it done I like the fact that it should go in the dirt and snow that would make it great for some of the shows you go to
Love the way brakes were the last thing to join the party! My kinda design process. At least it wasn't on the first steep descent that they came to mind.

It never ceases to amaze me when you remove a pulley with the air chisel. And no penetrating oil !
I love your energy man! If you're having a rough day, this channel is sure to cheer you up! Thanks for sharing this project with us.
Wow! Who knew Ronnie could fly!
He always forget, the landing flaps.
disc brake on the main drive shaft
like what's on some bicycles
He just doesn't land too good.
He can fly but not land, a least not properly LOL
Watching Taryl is one of the highlights of my week!
A front piece like the bow of a boat would work pretty good as a battery compartment as well. Looks like another fun build!
That is my thought too. Has to be an old leaky boat around the neighborhood.
A Regular Acid Battery Would Not Take The Pounding...Good Thought Though For Weight....Maybe a Gel Pack Battery Would Work???
Really can’t wait for the finished product this is going to be fun to watch been awhile since we had a build episode 👍
Can't wait to see what this will look like when it is finished, pretty cool video. I give Ronnie a 10.0 on his landing. Keep up the great work Taryl!
Looking forward to seeing the finished product!!
Can't wait to see you get it done !

Who is Darrel?
Love this build in the Winter . I like your repurpose and Rebuild from people who just give up and discard valuable resources .
The nice thing about those engines with ptos on the camshaft is they have a pretty robust camshaft drive.
I like that you're turning it around as tanks drive from the front of tracks and any crud in the tracks can "shake out" before engaging the sprockets. And exhaust will be aimed away from you!
I am so jealous of Taryl! I like tinkering with things and seeing how things work,but THIS guy knows his stuff! Keep up the great videos and thank you for a lot of knowledge I use on my lawn mowers etc..!
Cant wait to see this finished.. That would make a cool mini bike trike with a ski on front. Sit over engine or even rear engine mount.
You should have become a Mechanical Engineer ! Brilliant absolutely brilliant!

Who else loves fabrication? Parts are parts. :) I really enjoy this channel.
This one is a real deal I can't wait until you get it done I want to see how fast you go . Fire it up fire it up.
That old green bike at the biggening the 100 Hodaka Road toad brings me back. I rode a 125 wombat back in the day.
are you sure it will make a difference where the drive axle is in the front or back? if it has tire's, I'd say it would matter but with tracks I'm not so sure.
You are right!
I think you should make the sulky so that your sitting down on the ground. Can't wait for the second part!
I Agree .....Lower Center of Gravity is a Must.....If You want to live.
Finally had time to watch this. I like the project.
Taryl, I love what you did on this!!!
I love it!
You have a good inventers mind!
I can remember going to the mall entering through Sears as a kid. Seeing these thinking. How cool is that. Back in the 90s
Cool build Taryl, I was going to say you might also want to put a little 90° on the muffler so it's not shooting exhaust fumes towards you, but you solved that by reversing everything!
thanks for some neat ideas for using tracks wish I could find some
whoo hoo! glad to have you as part of the revolution. I want to see you make a Hus-Ski with a hrdro drive and vertical shaft engine.
I love it when Tary throws somebody over the fence!
Love your content man keep them coming. London Kentucky watching.
Can’t wait for part 2
awesome going to make two for the grandkids glad your doing it .I was at a standstill with mine
I don't care how many parts it takes to complete this project, this thing is cool! Love seeing Ronnie go over the fence.
I really love this thingy!!! I would move the motor fwd about a foot for balance and it gives you room to mount the battery behind the motor.
Really cool build. My only suggestion would be to add a Deadman switch
The perfect blend of comedy and knowledge! I though I was the only one who called it a TeCummins!
Call it the snow rat!! Great work Taryl
The snow cat is going to be a cool build. This will be an interesting series watching Mr. Dactal build this animal, I can't wait for part 2. 🔧🔧👍🏼

Use red thread lok on set screws. Cool ideas Faryl!
great video and great job, I want one for moving my Utility trailers
love this project, can hardly wait for the next vid. G'day from Canada!!
Put a 1 inch receiver hitch on the front.
You can add attachments for weight, v plow in the winter, one wheel wagon in the summer.

Go cart disk brake and used kid ski for the runners. Ski boot attachment for the mounting point.
Just make sure you put a kitty on the front slope plow.
There's your dinner.
Best video yet 👍.If the motor was moved forward it would help the wheelie issue and create a great spot for a cargo.
Like the Polaris snow machines with wooden cleats and a bench on skis and a pivot between the bench and the motor unit
You have a lot of COOL crap out there.
I love it. Great idea!
I think you should mass produce those and sell them! Cool
Interesting build. Thanks Taryl! 👍👍
Like a bolens Hus-ski Go Taryl !!!

Very good taryl.
This was so cool. I've been wanting to build one of these for ice fishing.
Small enough to throw in the back of the van. I'd just stand in the sled (or sit) with the equipment and cruise over the ice and snow.
Awesome! Looks like Walle
OK Tarly I' seen part one Ready to see part 2
There was a guy who took a garden tractor and snowmobile tracks and built an entire ice fishing shanty around it. Just epic
He stayed warm and watched his tip ups and the blessing for him was it allowed him to have fun at an age that would preclude him from dragging a shanty out on the ice.
Excellent project man!

Love the way brakes were the last thing to join the party! My kinda design process. At least it wasn't on the first steep descent that they came to mind.
BRAKES....DAM GOOD THOUGHT. Couldb use disk brake from riding mower at the clutch
