A homemade ATV is, perhaps, the mostThe best vehicle that is useful for agriculture. It is used for a variety of works, for example, if you attach a plow to it, then in a very short time you can plow a small plot of the garden. Also, a self-made ATV is used as a large wheelbarrow, on which it is possible to transport garbage, tools, products, building materials and so on.
New ATVs can come in a round sum,so it's best not to spend a lot of money on its purchase and try to collect it yourself. On its assembly, you will not spend much time and energy, as it may seem at first glance. The most important thing is to prepare: to collect all the necessary tools, to find on the Internet drawings of manual assembling and to call a friend who will prompt and help.
This article will tell you how to make a homemade ATV, what tools you will need, what difficulties you may encounter and how to solve them. Do not get distracted, and you will understand everything.
Self-made ATVs can be all-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive. In this article, the rear-wheel-drive vehicle will be discussed. What materials we can use:
It should be noted that the hubs and bridge must beone car. So you will avoid problems with the mounting holes on which the discs (caps) are mounted. These parts can be purchased on almost any dismantling of cars. The optimal option will be the parts removed from the Zhiguli or the old Moskvich.
Homemade ATV from "Ural" has a largea variety of different bolts, screws and other fasteners, so with a screwdriver and a set of keys it's so simple to disassemble it. We may need a welding machine and, possibly, a Bulgarian.
First you need to completely disassemblemotorcycle. We need a completely empty frame, so we detach all shock absorbers and the steering shoe. After this, it is worthwhile to weigh everything carefully and decide which suspension it is worth installing. There are 3 options:
For each type you can choose your own unique drawing. Let's analyze the features of each option.
This suspension is the simplest, you canto say, primitive, since it does not require the installation of additional fastening elements. In order to install it correctly, it is necessary to extend the frame. How to do it? Here we will need a Bulgarian.
We completely cut the rear part of the frame, including the pendulum fork. After that, we install thick-walled pipes using a welding machine. The last detail will be welded to the rear axle.
It is very important, before installing the rear axle, to make sure that it is in an inverted position. If this is not done, then your self-made ATV will only go backwards.
Quad bike with shock absorber is a practical andcomfortable choice in favor of off-road driving. To do this, you will not need to cut the back of the frame and throw out the pendulum. On the contrary, you should weld the rear axle to the fork. And the most important thing is to fix the seam, which can be pulled out by fast and sloppy driving.
One of the differences between rigid suspension and shock absorbers is the use of semi-axles. A drawing on an amortized suspension for a homemade ATV from the "Oka" can be found on many sites on the Internet.
The last option that we will discuss issuspension with springs. This is a rather rare phenomenon and it is applied only if heavy loads are carried on the ATV. To do this, you need to design a frame for the body. Considering the cargo that will be transported by the self-made ATV, the frame should be made of thick-walled pipes. Its width should not exceed the dimensions of the rear axle, and the length should be slightly larger than the springs. This is the most optimal size, in which the body will not only have increased strength, but also hold on to the ATV.
The final stage is the installation of a cardan togearbox and to the front axle. It should also be understood that this suspension should be justified, that is, when installing the springs, you need not worry that you are overloading your ATV, because it was created for this.
With the installation of the front suspension, problems should not arise. As a rule, on all self-made quadrocycles 4x4 it is the same, therefore there are a lot of drawings on the Internet.
The installation of the front suspension is similar to rigid.We should also lengthen the frame, but this time not the back part, but the front. What is it for? If this is not done, the front wheels can come into contact with the engine, producing an unpleasant sound. As a result, this can lead to disastrous consequences. Also, the extended frame raises the dimensions of your ATV.
In this work, everything should be measured correctly andcount, and also attach the pendulum arms. For example, if you want to increase the patency of the ATV, it is recommended to extend the suspension arm. Thus, the clearance increases, which contributes to a more rigid ride - hardcore.
In this article, you learned about all kinds of suspensions that can be installed on a self-made ATV. Now it remains to put the engine and do not forget about the installation of the wings.
