Is it possible to make a snowmobile with your own hands? Let's look for an answer to this question. Will snowmobiles made right at home be reliable? Not every person is ready to trust his own hands and what he can do himself.

Homemade snowmobiles are quite an interesting form of transport. The fact is that they move due to the propeller, in the people it is also called a propeller.

Most often, the design of the snowmobile is three-ski. Sometimes there is also a four-ski, then they can move not only on snow, but also on the water surface.

Imagine how you rush along the snowy plain faster than the wind, whirlwinds of snow rise behind you - all this is possible and real if you have a snowmobile. This is a very convenient, fast, and most importantly, simple mode of transport. Anyone with the technique "on you" will be able to build a snowmobile with their own hands.

Let's see how to make them yourself. The material will be wood. The structure will be triangular. The longitudinal beam of the hull and the transverse beam, on which we hang the rear skis, will be made of pine bars. Let's take bars with a section of 35 by 40 mm, they will be fastened with bolts. Let's pay attention to the docking nodes,there you need to install metal squares, as well as washers, be sure to have a large diameter, as they will prevent the tree from collapsing.

Where the turntable for the front ski will be installed, as well as where the engine and rear skis are attached (ski suspension), brackets, metal plates and squares must be provided. Let's take wooden skis again. The body, or rather its front part, needs to be hooded. You can install a bicycle headlight on the hood, and metal steps on the sides. The driver's seat can be made from a piece of plywood with a thickness of about 8 millimeters. The seat should rest on two springs, which we will borrow from a bicycle saddle. It is important to pay attention to the fact that the bars securing the engine must be of different lengths. The rear bar is longer, it will serve as a fence against the propeller.

On the rear skis you need to make the so-called boar staples, you can make them from steel strips 30 by 5 mm in size. Skis must be assembled using three plywood sheets, which should be about 4 mm thick, they will be attached with casein glue. Plywood along the edges should be reinforced with bars, preferably oak. The soles of the skis must have longitudinal undercuts, they must also be bound with sheet iron. This is necessary so that when the snowmobile stops, it does not sink into the snow. The front ski will control the snowmobile (its turn).

We will have a cable transmission from the steering column. To control the engine, it is necessary to build levers: a throttle lever and an ignition advance lever. We will borrow the wiring from a motorcycle, it will be either a cable or a wire, but always in a flexible sheath. The engine will be a PD-10 launcher from a tractor, we will install a cylinder for air cooling on it, also from a motorcycle, for example, from IZH-56. We will install a fuel tank above the engine. Fuel will be supplied by gravity. That's all - in front of you are homemade snowmobiles. On them it will be possible to dissect through snow-covered fields or simply through snow-covered terrain. The main thing is to do everything conscientiously, firmly and accurately, so that in no case will your vehicle fall apart while driving. As you can see, you can make a snowmobile with your own hands, you just need to make an effort.
