After two months the work finally continues on the 8x8 tracked amphibious vehicle named ARGO. This time I'm getting the engine & gearbox installed, drive chains cut, gaskets made, wheel shafts with new bearings and seals installed, CVT driven clutch disassembled and reassembled. And a worn down sprocket gets a renewal with a little bit of turning in the lathe and TIG welding. Next time - restoring chain tensioners and maybe some CNC milling action (fingers crossed!).

My dear 72 y/o friend (I’m 68 tomorrow), may I try to suggest, in the most respectful of ways, that when you write your it’s as if you are talking (oh, I’m meant you’re) about your (meaning: your property of any sort, it’s possessive) you must write Y-O-U-R. However, if you are meaning to use you are in a contraction, you must write: Y-O-U-‘-R-E to mean you are: you’re. I hope this clarifies one of the difficult things about writing in English, British or American. You have a blessed day, sir.

@wayupnort6271 10 месяцев назад

Donn, the belt on the CVT should be fairly loose in that application. When at idle the belt needs to fully disengage so the secondary clutch stops spinning. If there is drag and the secondary clutch is trying to spin at idle it will load the shift mechanism therefore making it hard to shift. It’s critical the secondary clutch is not loaded at idle. Looking good! 👍🏻

When you were installing the newly cut chain I thought you had a measure twice cut once moment, but I quickly realized that I was wrong. When I saw the machined sprocket on Instagram I thought you were creating a new tensioner pulley but then remembered another post you had of the actual tensioner pieces your making or getting made. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@jurgens9867 10 месяцев назад

I think the second Shim was the try to make it faster. The belt is able to reach a smaller diameter with it. The gear ratio changes. Now you habe a better torque but a slower max speed.

@DonnDIY 10 месяцев назад

Sounds logical. In the mud I'd rather have torque. So all good.👍

6:44 not just rubber layer, they're actually infused with rubber (or rather the cork is poured in with the raw rubber and galvanized in sheets). So those gaskets would leak eventually, so it's actually a very good idea to use silicone with non-rubber cork gaskets, especially since these days the quality of cork sheets leaves to be desired. It's brittle as heck, where as old style cork sheet is pretty well bonded. I don't even know what i'll do when i run out of my old roll, cause it's not easy to find.

@aserta 10 месяцев назад

Tho i admit, i've no clue how long it would last, you could at least try, since there's no harm in doing it. Using PET (from bottles) make sleeves that slip over the joint where the cork gaskets are, and with a heatgun, shrink them down to the hub over the cork. Again, no clue how long it would last, but PET is pretty strong and should at least protect the cork for a while.

Why are you still using a diff plus brakes for steering instead of fitting just two CVTs off of an ATV and do differential steering by forcing a differential ratio with them? Would also eliminate the need for a gearbox, as you could alter the ratio and the ratio between them with two levers. Just needs an RPM governor, to keep the engine out of the red line and in the optimal power range all the time. :)

@RubenKelevra 10 месяцев назад

5:55 wait, you need to Loctite it in, or it will rotate around with the grease port, wouldn't it?

@TheMetalButcher 10 месяцев назад

Maybe. Note the groove. It will grease anywhere the hole is so long as the grease doesn't become too stiff and dry. If Donn keeps up his maintenance (which I'm sure he will) there will be no issues.
