I've been building a machine like this in my head since I was about 10 years old. There it has stayed for 40 years and I think it will remain ! Great job, can't wait to see it go!
Not sure which I'm liking more... the project, the way you work, watching how your mind works on "fabricating" a jig to make something work. I hope you don't burn yourself out. I've seen many young and older people with ingenious minds burn themselves out. I like the fact you're commenting more in your videos as well. This build is coming along quite nicely. Looking forward to seeing this all up and running. Cheers :)
Some might argue with you on that but I think the same as you do. I did a lot more work than only these 21 minutes worth and that is what I want to share with everyone and especially with those who think about making their own tracks.
Whew! Well done to you, sir! That was quite a job for one person to get done in only twenty one minutes!! I really like your electromagnetic drill press, too! Those things are awesome. Your skills are to be admired!
Love the design. Most DIY tankers go all-metal for the tracks and they are difficult to make work reliably. Also the wear rate makes all-metal kind of unfeasable. This is genious!
Well thought out track system and assembly process. And the best part? The assembly jigs made from scrap! That's artist level craftsmanship. Looking forward to the next videos and the test run through water!
Never ending Originality and workmanship. The jigs you made worked great, had no doubt, look forward to more Donn as the journey continues, Happy New Year !!
Лайк! Сам немного самодельщик, токарь, слесарь, сварщик, столяр, но ... уже старый. Восхищен, что молодой парень, живущий своим хозяйством, такой мастеровой, с руками Золотыми и светлой головой. Для всего этого надо время, терпение, средства, инструмент. А надо еще заработать на жизнь, семью, Здоровья тебе, удачи и всех Благ.
Wow that is fantastic work. I love how you used the round stock as a guide for the wheels i have seen others try but fail with the track. Excellent thought you are the real deal.
A tip for doing productions type work like cutting the guides and angle for the track pads. When cutting, if your saw is able to handle thicker material, cut the main piece into half or quarters and cut 4 at a time. It will make the job of cutting much more efficient than just doing one at a time.
You sir are my most favorite UA-camr of all time I've learned so much from you I love everything about everything you do and the way you do it I aspire to work the way you do in my shop
I would say using some 1in (25.4mm) strap to make the "washers" and have it the length of one side (so its just one wide washer with the 2 whole in it) would work a treat, but my god drilling the holes would bout drive a man crazy lol. Nice work good sir.
Amazing, it takes intelligence and a lot of skill to do what you are doing but not only that, you make it look easy. That my friend is genius. Look forward to seeing a work of art finished. Best wishes Rich
Donn DIY Man you really got a good assembly line going there! Nice work 👍 I just posted part 2 of my articulating mini 4x4 dump truck build video and I had about 3 comments from people telling me to check out Donn DIY channel 👍 take care
Yeah, that was amazing. Tracks look so uniform. I still don't fully understand how they will stay straight but guess that will be more apparent in a later video. Like many others said I also thought the jigs were very cool.
You mean how will they not lean on the sides and drop off? The tracks will be held on with tension so the tracks are stretched on, thus they'll be straight.
Not knowing the kind of job you perform, now this is some great fabbing work, I like the way you make jigs so everything comes out looking the same, thanks again for sharing your great videos and work :)
Everything is well built to last in this project, my only concern is will the finish product worth all of this without even a test before? Greetings from Italy 🙂
It has been done already - by others, who have built tracked vehicles using exactly the same design on tracks. No worries, if it doesn't work I can always fix what's not working.
Отличная подготовка к каждому этапу сборки, все сделано очень классно, как на мелко-серийном производстве!!! Уважение от инженера! Смущает отсутствие натяжителя гусеницы, при проколе крайнего колеса гусеница обязательно слезет. Также отсутствие подвески как таковой, скажется на комфорте езды и жизненном цикле трансмиссии, в остальном снимаю шляпу перед вашим мастерством.
As someone who works on and operates vehicles with similar track systems, we use backer plates instead of washers on the back of our cleats, all the bolts for each belt go through the same piece of steel and we thread them into the cleat so no nuts needed, less parts to rattle lose and cause a problem, I don't envy the job of making new tracks from scratch though, this paoff off season I had to replace 25 cleats on a single track for one of our machines at 15 bolts per cleat...took half a day just to get them off, 3 days to assemble parts onto the replacements and get them installed
You could of at least painted the bolt heads so that the whole world knows that you made it..... or you could just show them the video/LOL. Your certainly picing projects with enough welding , drilling, screwing, making jigs, (you should apply for patent even if it never gets challenged)That is going to be one hell of a logging in the snow and recovery rig! So proud of you. You a bubble short of genius!
Yes, I knew 19 was going to be great. You are amazing. I build and fabricate, weld etc all the time and have all my life. I am 70 and I don’t think I have ever seen determination and skill as you present it. Donn how many rolls of wire have you burned through so far ? //ji Salem, OR
U rock as usual. I watch yours and doctor diy videos. Both tracked vehicles. But I love yours because of your perfection and perfect calculations when fabricating a product. Good luck and I'm expecting a test drive video
Looking good, I will give you a Tip on cutting rubber belting I have cut Miles of it. Add about a teaspoon of dish soap to a spray bottle and fill with water and then spray the solution onto your cut line you will not believe how much easier it will cut. Thay can be expensive but Google Conveyer belt or elevator fasteners these will have a much larger head or a plate so they won't pull through the rubber also it may be much easier to join the ends hope this may help.

You have a well thought out manufacturing system. This makes sense and it's why I enjoy your videos.

Wow. You are very inspiring. All you fabricate to get to your final result is pretty awesome.

Mag drill and custom jigs! Awesome! Gettin' 'er dun!
I am always proud of humans after watching Donn's videos.
Holy mother of god.....a 21 and a 1/2 minute video doesn't due justice to how much work this must've taken.

This track system is not my invention. It is really common on most simple tracked vehicles.
Как всегда всё отлично. Хотелось бы по чаще и по больше видео. А так всё супер. Молодец!
Больше видео будет. Спасибо за просмотр!
Більше відео, а працювати над конструкцією коли?
Never ending Originality and workmanship. The jigs you made worked great, had no doubt, look forward to more Donn as the journey continues, Happy New Year !!
That is the coolest homemade tank track I have ever seen!
Cheers mate!
When you were bending the bars at high-speed, it sounded like the start of Pink Floyd's song "Money". haha

Making track guides or tracks this way is nothing new. I really liked the design so I decided to use it for my own tracks too.
It's only scrap when it's swarf , great use of materials new and old !!
Well said.
I can sit all day just to watch your videos.
It is a great shot when you look down the track after it is completed. Nice work!

Those are amazing brother WOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! You are talented bro. Cant wait to see the finished ATV
Very heavy vehicle. 😂👍
The only thing that is impressive about this project that is one man did it... You are my friend a beast
Looking good Donn. Really enjoy your fabrication system and jigs. You keep amazing us as you continue your build. Thanks for sharing with us.
Cheers!
Damn that’s a sweat shop, well done getting through such a repetetive job!

You sir, are a wizard of metalworking! This whole project of yours was more entertaining than the last Marvel movie
You are one hell of a machine Donn. Tracks look awesome.

I can understand how you got excited, getting to make tracks!
Can't wait to go for a ride!
Absolutely. 😀

As someone who works on and operates vehicles with similar track systems, we use backer plates instead of washers on the back of our cleats, all the bolts for each belt go through the same piece of steel and we thread them into the cleat so no nuts needed, less parts to rattle lose and cause a problem, I don't envy the job of making new tracks from scratch though, this paoff off season I had to replace 25 cleats on a single track for one of our machines at 15 bolts per cleat...took half a day just to get them off, 3 days to assemble parts onto the replacements and get them installed
I might replace the washers with those backer plates. I wanted these already when I built my ATV tracks. Might do this change.
Just found you donndiy. You have great patients. Keep up the great work,
I’m in Bacchus Marsh Victoria in Australia. Where are you based donndiy? It’s 12:55am on Saturday night here. And I’m learning how to make tracks! Lol

Cheers. Not my design though - it has been done before. 🙂
Excellent workmanship, your plan is working well. I like it when someone stays on track. See what I did, stay on track.

I'm very cold watching you work. Nice tools! I like your milling machine.
Thank you hard working master
Take care be safe

That had to be mind numbing in the repetition. Nice work!
Numbing the mind sometimes is therapeutic. 😀
And now we all want to see you test fit these on your wheels... ;) nice job!
