I have 1 drive axle - the rear one. The brakes are still on one front wheel, so that it would be possible to stop the tractor. In a good way, I need to make separate brakes on the rear drive axle. This will be an analogue of locking the bridge and increase the cross-country ability in case of...

Thanks! The war zone is at least 700 km away from me. Rockets and drones periodically reach us. I have no other choice, I live here and try not to lose my mind :).

I also wanted to use the rear brakes at first, but the design of my wheels does not allow this. Maybe I'll come back to this later and make separate brakes for the left and right rear wheels. Thanks! Yes, I try to take into account all the mistakes that were made on the first tractor. But they...

How to endure failure when trying to install brakes on the left front wheel of a tractor. As I mentioned earlier, my tractor has only brakes on the right front wheel. At the scrapyard, I found a brake disk that looked similar to the one I needed. It perfectly matched the mounting holes. I took...

Thanks! Unfortunately, this is a private pond and fishing is prohibited there. And the weather was very hot that day, it was unlikely that the fishing was successful. Yes, I know about gridfinity, but I haven't used it yet, I make my models in FreeCAD.

Thanks! :beer: I would also like to be your neighbor. :beer: Yes, you can make the car run on a different type of fuel. We can also install equipment for using propane instead of gasoline. But installing gas equipment on a gasoline engine is the same as urinating in your pants to keep warm...

As I mentioned before, I have a toy — a 3D printer. It turns out to be a very useful thing in the garage. I've already printed a bunch of useful items: various boxes, stands, enclosures, etc. Some things I design myself using FreeCAD, others I download from the internet. Today I printed a...

It looks like the situation in the USA in the 70s. There are differences in the fact that at that time there was simply a reduction in oil supplies and a price increase. In our case, there is oil, there are no plants that can process it into gasoline and diesel. They are all either destroyed or...

Thanks Rian! Unfortunately, this is the case and it is very sad. The picture is good, it accurately reflects my current state. :) In reality, production has decreased by 35-40%, and taking into account the next completely destroyed refinery, this is actually a decrease of 50% or more. At the...

Greetings to all friends! The tractor project is moving very slowly. I'm trying to work on it, but it's hard to make myself do anything, especially in light of recent events. The events are far from joyful — my family road trips seem to have come to an end. The reason is simple: there's no...

It looks like a victory! These white sheets of paper have been under the car for almost 24 hours without a single drop of oil falling on them.

I can buy it in an online store. I can just come to the auto parts store and buy it right away. As a rule, popular products (oil, brake pads, filters, gaskets, etc.) are always available. Moreover, the Oka is a domestic car and about 2/3 of the spare parts are used on other domestic cars.

I really hope so. :) Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. :beer: Day 3. The engine is in place. It was easier than I expected. Now I just need to install the accessories, fill in the oil, and add antifreeze. Then I can perform a test run.

Yes, it was this engine. I then replaced all the gaskets and oil seals. Because the oil was flowing out of all the cracks. It helped for a short time, the oil stopped flowing from under the gaskets and oil seals and the oil found another way. :) In order to solve this problem, the engine had...

It's the second day, or rather the evening, of searching for the source of the oil leak in the engine. I believe I have found and resolved the issue. When I removed the flywheel, I noticed that there was an отсутствующий bolt on the rear cover of the engine. This bolt is located near the oil...
