Powerful chainsaw snow blower

The owners of the suburban area rarely enjoy the heavy snowfall.At such a time, they have one main concern - to clear the driveways and the passage to the house, remove the snow from the parking lot for the car and make their way to the exit to the highway. Not everyone has the energy and time to work with a shovel. Therefore, snowplows are very popular in the season.

You can't do without a snowblower in the country

But such an instrument costs at least 30,000-35,000 rubles, and not everyone can afford it. And what about the technical characteristics of this device? All the same petrol engine with a capacity of 5-8 liters. from. And if this is so, then the power of the chainsaw is theoretically enough for a homemade snow blower. The snowplow device is simple, pay attention to the diagram:

What a snow blower consists of

And now a small master class on making the device:

Picture	Description of work
	For the main shaft, on which the shovel will be fixed, metal stands are required. In this case, the racks from the VAZ 2110 were used. They need to be welded together using a metal sleeve.
	You will need a motorcycle star to drive. It is welded into the shaft.
	The auger will require two sheets of rectangular metal and spiral pieces. All this is cut from durable metal with a thickness of at least 2 mm.
	The blades and spirals are mirror-welded to the shaft.
	The shovel body is made of metal at least 1 mm thick. The shaft is mounted inwardly on automotive bearings.
	In the upper part of the case, you need to make a hole for the snow discharge pipe.
	A movable cover should be installed on the snow discharge pipe so that the direction of flow can be adjusted.
	The saw chainring must be replaced with a motorcycle chainring. To do this, you have to bore.
	The engine itself must be mounted on a frame with rubber pads for shock absorption.
	To fix the handlebar, a sturdy steel pipe stand should be made.
	The ignition and speed control system can be taken from a moped or motorcycle.

After assembling the main part, it remains only to install the skis and the fuel tank on the structure. The entire structure as a whole will weigh no more than 35 kg, so even a fragile woman can manage it.

As a result, the whole device will look like, see in this form:

Do-it-yourself universal snowmobile from a chainsaw

Winter fishing or hunting is a favorite pastime of many. You cannot get to the cherished lake without a snowmobile, and there is no pleasure in running through the forest to chase game waist-deep in snow. Such a "toy" costs a lot - from 80,000 rubles. And again, the chainsaw will help you out. What you need to prepare: A suitable sled with skis or tracks. The sled itself can be welded from a steel, or better, an aluminum corner. The lighter the structure, the faster it will run. As a basis, you can take the device of a children's snow scooter on three skis according to this scheme:

Chainsaw snow scooter drawing

The impulse for movement of the self-made self-propelled machine from the chainsaw is transmitted by the caterpillars with hooks, which push the sled forward. You can replace the tracks with a shovel with 7-8 blades, it is installed under the seat. The principle of engine installation is the same as on a snowmobile - with a drive and gears from a motorcycle or moped.

As an engine for a snowmobile from a chainsaw, you can use "Friendship" or more modern models, for example, "Calm". The steering wheel will fit from the old bicycle, the motor control is displayed on it, or, if possible, immediately adapt the structure from the moped - there all the controls are ready.

Brakes on snowmobiles were invented by cowards. But in fact, with a chainsaw engine, it will not develop a dangerous speed, so just throw off the gas. Do not be reassured, such a product will not be registered by any traffic police. So you can't use it on the roads. But then you don't have to pay tax and undergo technical inspection. For driving in the dark, do not forget to put a flashlight on the structure.

Homemade sawmill from a household chainsaw

In private households, construction never stops. I rebuilt the house - conceived a gazebo, finished a gazebo - I need a garage, a fence, a shed, a doghouse. And so on ad infinitum. If there are no extra funds, the cheapest way is to buy round timber and dissolve it yourself into boards of the required size. A home sawmill can be built from the same chainsaw.

Picture	Description of work
	We replace the standard nuts with special fasteners, they are bored out of a hexagon.
	On the sawing table on a metal pipe, we install a movable coupling with a platform for attaching the saw.
	The thickness of the board is adjustable by means of movable stands. The higher you raise the racks, the thicker the board will be.
	It remains only to fix the saw on the movable sleeve with hexagons and work.

A primitive sawing device can also be made right on the felling site. For work, you do not need to change the design of the unit, you just need to make a small device for the chainsaw that guides the movement of the tire. See how to do it:

DIY chainsaw ice screw: scheme and practice

They say that you can't pull a fish out of a pond without difficulty, but in winter I would like to limit this work by twitching a jig. The avid fisherman is never limited to one hole.

Three, five, or even more holes is a guarantee of success

But if the ice is 0.5 m thick, you will spend most of your time drilling, losing strength and mood. An ice screw will help to cope with this task quickly and effortlessly. Let's see how much such a gadget costs: from 8,000 rubles. Why buy it when you have a chainsaw on hand? To make an ice screw, you need an old electric drill - we will make a drive from it. How to make an ice screw from a chainsaw with your own hands:

Picture	Description of work
	An electric drill will require a working gearbox.
	From a part of the anchor from a drill, a sleeve and a head for 27, you need to make such a tool. He will directly transfer the rotation to the borax.
	Another element needs to be made with your own hands from a piece of metal and a pipe. This is a gearbox mount.
	The fixing structure is fixed to the saw with two screws.
	This is how a reducer with a sleeve attached to a saw looks like.
	A drill is inserted into the sleeve. In the future, a drill tube is put on it and fixed with a bolt.

How a homemade design will work is shown in the video:

DIY chainsaw motor-drill

The motor-drill is designed according to the same principle as the ice-drill. The difference can only be in the nozzle. In earthworks, the speed of rotation of the spiral should not be too high, therefore, in a home-made design, it is necessary to provide for speed control and a simple shutdown.

It is preferable to use a worm gear for a motor-drill

DIY chainsaw boat motor

If we compare the cost of an inflatable boat and a motor, it turns out that the boat is at least twice cheaper. The most unpretentious petrol boat motor of 4 horses will cost 40,000 rubles. Expensive, to be sure. But the PATRIOT PT 6220 chainsaw with a capacity of 4.35 liters. from. - only 8 900 rubles. The power is the same, but the cost of the motor is five times cheaper! And what, tell me, is the point in purchasing an expensive boat engine?

Yes, you can't get away from the fishing supervision on such a motor, but if you are for honest fishing, it will be enough to get to the place

Chainsaw manufacturers have long clarified all these points and quite officially release all kinds of attachments for them - from a drill to a propeller drive. The price of a boat attachment is 5,000-6,000 rubles. At the same time, there is no need to make significant changes to the construction of the saw, which means that after fishing you can easily change the nozzle and cut firewood for the fire.Now about how a homemade boat drive works:

Picture	Description of work
	Remove the tire and tensioner from the saw.
	The lower part of the rack with a screw is made of a gearbox from a drill, a cone from a petrol cutter, an oil seal and the screw itself.
	The tube is made of aluminum with a stiffener.
	We use a clamp to secure the motor to the boat transom. A platform for fixing the engine is welded to it.
	To connect the propeller to the motor, the author of the project uses a clutch made of vtoroplast.
	The platform with a motor is movable, its movement is controlled by a handle. The power control is also located on it.
	The saw is installed in such a way that the sprocket fits into the clutch, and the standard bolts fix the motor on the site.
	For fastening, you will have to prepare suitable nuts, regular ones will not work.

And now the material on how this device works in practice:
