Real nice machine. These have Differential steering. As you discribed a brake band stops one track and the power then goes to the other track that is still turning. Those Chrysler flatheads are actually a good motor. Parts are still available at most auto parts stores. Looks like alot of fun!!!
That’s funny I was looking at those and I knew they were gonna break. They looked flimsy metal was real thin and on top of it cast iron in the cold as well, so very brittle
@@PowerModzOfficial I'm glad to know your new workshop is ready, I can't wait to see this. I take a lot of inspiration from you and powermodz, it sounds groupie but you help people a lot to make their own modification, on my side with chanel tazmonster I work the best I can to help people in the same way, but in French . I hope one day we may be able to meet, but I will have to improve my English.
You're machine looks very similar to the international Rescue Thunderbird's Recovery Vehicle 1 from the 1970's episode Pit of Peril. Two of these machines Pulled up and out of a deep sink hole a 500 ton Walking killing machine from the us army failed test.
Wow, what a machine. I should have guessed it was made by Bombardier! That Chrysler engine, is it a V8? it sounds good, more like an aircraft engine. Cant wait to see some vids of it working. Paint it Kawasaki green. Cheers
Hey man, I don't know if these machines are around but you should check out the Ski Doo Elite 1500, it's supposedly a SxS snowmobile lol. Looks so goofy with the dual tracks
I have a question, I was watching one of your old videos where you were tearing down a seized Honda 3 wheeler engine, 250 I think. Anyways I have a 84 trx200 and the jug looks identical to my son’s 82 Xr 200, I cannot find a new jug for his bike but I can for the trx was wondering if you knew if they interchanged.
I have a better design to couple the machine to the trailer. Edit: I forgot to mention. It didn't sound like a Chrysler slant six, nor did it sound like a ford inline that I have seen in these. Im going to your other channel and hopefully you have a view of the engine compartment as I am curious! lol
Hey I just bought a 07 mxz 440x with a 800 in it. Do you know how to identify these engines? I’d like to know what it is for future maintenance. Guy I bought it off didn’t know.
@@mrtundranutz1 oki see, ya that's sad for sure....lots of thinking ahead with old machinery. My old Clark skidder had no brakes...had to use the blade to stop it. This j5 will be getting a blade for sure too.
@@PowerModzOfficial just watched but now do you recommend that year and model? If not I’m thinking about getting a Yamaha nytro if the 06 mxz renegade 800ho isn’t very reliable
terrible approach and departure angles. that's unfortunate. Expanded sheet metal for the front would be good to prevent brush and branches from impaling you from the front whenever jump romping around in the woods :D Don't pull a 4+ wheeled equipment with a tracked equipment as tracks will eventually flip the wheeled equipment on a tight turn or tight reverse. Looks like a hobbled together hydraulic steering system. Looks very like it would be easy to break on a twist /watch?v=EObOUb3g86I /watch?v=BciSdXIKCRo Check these videos out for a more hardier design
I agree, the front plow mount im cutting off tomorrow, we will weld a new blade mount in the proper spot...it does need a blade for our bush. Agreed on the mesh as well. Ya the hydraulic system is pretty lame - going to see if I can attach a pump to the main engine.
@@PowerModzOfficial hydraulic steering isn't really necessary unless if you're needing really tight turns between trees. You don't really need a hydraulic steering at all if the roads you're taking to pull things are decently straight or wide enough. Just put the chains as turning radius limiters instead, it'll pull like any other trailer
