Alteration of a trimmer for grass in a lawn mower with your own hands. The choice of a suitable engine

Motorized scooter from a lawn mower

Garden trimmer for grass is a tool with which owners of cottages, cottages and country houses take care of herbal lawn. But often domestic craftsmen are looking for another use by a manual mower due to the inability to use it for its intended purpose. These may be situations when a garden tool has failed, or if you buy it and redo it in another device is much cheaper than to purchase a factory product product. About what and how can be done from a trimmer for grass for grass, and will be discussed in our material.

Gathered on the basis of an electric motor or gasoline internal combustion engine, hand mowers effectively cope with both soft grass and hard storms, as well as small shrubs or trees lying on the ground. For this, manufacturers supply them with a set of various devices, which, along with a trimmer string head, can be included:

• metal or plastic knives, with which you can mow grass and weeds;
• saw wheels designed for cutting branches, shrubs and young trees.

However, the capabilities of trimmer engines are far from fully used. After all, they, as a rule, have high specific power and having the ability to work in any position, allow you to significantly expand the scope of this type of garden tool. High operational reliability of trimmers contributes to this.

Industrial nozzles for garden trimmers

Walking towards numerous wishes of owners of garden trimmers, manufacturers of these units have developed and currently produce a large number of attachments for them, including nozzles, allowing the use of a trimmer for grass as:

• drills;
• bitch;
• garden scissors;
• aerator of the lawn;
• cultivator;
• high.altitude;
• water pump;
• boat motor;
• blower;
• snowman;
• Kromo cutter.

On a note! In addition, potential consumers are offered to buy various nozzles that facilitate working with a trimmer. These include: the supporting wheel, running wheels, gearbox and a variety of brushes for removing fallen leaves and mowed grass from the lawn, as well as for cleaning snow from the paths on the adjacent territory, etc.

At the same time, all types of industrialized nozzles are attached:

education

So, before starting the assembly of the lawn mower to have the following items at hand:

• materials for the frame;
• wheels
• pens;
• Corrugated board;
• engine;
• The frame where all the details will be attached;
• Knives
• governing bodies. RCD, switch, cable with a fork for connecting to a socket.

In addition, the creation of drawings and schemes of future design will be an important preparatory stage. This will help maintain the correct location of all the elements of the future design and create the right frame that can withstand the weight of all elements and will look beautiful from an aesthetic point of view.

You can also add various details to the list, such as a chain or adapter, if a self.propelled mower is made of a seeder or chainsaw.

The process of creating a mower

Now let’s talk about the process of creating a lawn mower from different devices and how to assemble it yourself. First you need to form a metal frame from a sheet with a thickness of 2-3 cm. It is cut, after which holes are made under the engine shaft in it.

The next step is the choice and installation of the engine. It is very important to choose it based on the length of the installed knives. When this is done, you need to make knives, and then attach them to the device.

The next step is to install a protective cover on a lawn mower, which is a metal strip folded into a ring and a knife frame. The next step is the choice and subsequent installation of mowing wheels. Then you need to choose and install the handles.

The last step will be the installation of the elements of the supply system of the lawn mower.

Step.by.step assembly instructions

Depending on the source materials for electrogazoniacs, such stages will differ. One of the most common options is the assembly of a mower from an old washing machine. It will be useful to consider step.by.step instructions precisely to create such an apparatus.

Actions should take place in the following sequence:

• Making a frame or spar for an engine of the future structure. It must be made from a metal or steel sheet of 500 by 500 millimeters.
• In the central part of the sheet, the hole for the shaft of the electric engine should be drilled.
• From below the metal sheet (spar) is welded corners around the perimeter. And they can also be fixed with bolts. Then you need to install wheels. They can be made independently from plywood or wood, or removed from old devices. They are placed on the shaft (metal axis).
• After that, the motor needs to be fixed on the platform. To do this, it should either be welded on pre.mounted metal corners, or drill holes for existing holes in the motor itself, and then fasten with bolts.
• Then you need to install a handle to control the design.
• A protective casing for control is mounted under the platform.
• A metal knife is installed (homemade or ready). It is attached to the shaft of the electric motor.
• To protect the motor from the grass, it is necessary to mount a tin can on its val.

All mechanical parts are collected. Then you need to proceed to the electrical design of the design.

The grass collection container must be installed at the very end. It is made in the form of a box or bag.

Coating knives with a casing is mandatory, as this will increase safety during operation. Such protection should be done for the motor in order to avoid garbage and its durability, as well as resistance.

Corner grinder design

There are quite a lot of ways to create such an apparatus. The easiest is its attachment by bolts to a pre.prepared platform or basis.

The most common option is the assembly of such a homemade using a baby stroller.

• Disassemble the stroller, but leave the base with wheels.
• Prepare a board that will lie on the wheel axis.
• Fix it.
• Attach a corner grinder to the board with screeds or clamps.
• You need to install blades or fishing line for a trimmer on a corner grinder.
• Attach the switch to the handle.

This design can be equipped with a protective casing so that the grass does not fly apart, or a capacity for collecting waste.

Smo-taught masters in history have already come up with a lot of home-made models. They break over the form of assembly and the complexity of the design. advanced models have a function of adjusting the height of the mowing and t. P. You need to make a mower with your own hands so that safety is above all. The button to turn on the mechanism must be installed so that the device is turned off immediately after it is released.

How to make a snowman from a trimmer for grass with your own hands

The following tools will be needed for work:

The procedure for creating a home.made snowmobile machine

• Start work from the creation of the case. It is best to make it from a metal beer barrel, but if it is not, you can use a large diameter pipe. Cut a piece 15 cm long, leave the bottom. The gearbox will be attached to it.
• In the center of the bottom of the pipe or barrel, you need to make a hole so that the working shaft of a trimmer for grass passes there. Put the markings in the form of three points for attaching the gearbox and drill holes for bolts in their place.
• Make a way out (deflector). It is needed so that snow is thrown out of the snowman. A hole with a diameter of 10 cm is cut in the homemade housing. Later it will be necessary to weld the pipe. But before that, cut the workpiece in the form of a semicircle from the metal sheet and brew it one part of the front side of the body. Thus, the plug will not allow the spread of snow, but will direct it to the deflector. It should also be located in the central front of the plug.
• Make a rotor (impeller), with which snow will be collected. To do this, take a discs of a trimmer for grass, and cut four blades from metal, each of which has a size of 25×10 cm. These blanks are welded to the disk knife cross on the cross.
• Start completing work on the deflector. Fix the pipe to the opening on the case, which can be made of steel. The size of the tool should be 10 cm. Put off the knee of the same length that the release of snow occurs to the side. If the deflector has a round shape, the knee can be taken from a plastic sewer pipe.
• Next, a shovel from a steel sheet, 30×40 cm in size, is made. On her sides are sides, the height of which is 2 cm. The structure should be welded to the lower part of the tool body.
• The collection of parts begins with a trimmer for grass. The gearbox is attached to the bottom of the home.made bolts, and then wings are put on the shaft. The snowman’s handle can be the handle of a trimmer for grass, you can also make a more convenient design.

With your own hands, a snow paper from a trimmer for grass should be put on a frame, for which a special rectangle is made. Ski or ordinary wooden runners are attached to it below, which will push the unit in the snow.

Preparation of tools and materials

The manufacture of a snowplower machine from a trimmer for grass with your own hands involves the use of braids for grass with a long bar and a gearbox. Also, a disk with teeth, which is also used to spit grass, will also require a work to work.

For the manufacture of metal elements, you need a large tin barrel in which beer is sold. Be sure to buy several sheets of steel, with a thickness of not more than 1.5 mm. Of the tools for work, you will need:

Having prepared everything you need, you can start direct assembly.

From a chainsaw

For the chainsaws, many different nozzles have already been invented, expanding the capabilities of this unit, for example, a cultivator, a drill, a boat motor, as well as a spit nozzle for grass. How she looks, you can watch in this video. If you want to make a trimmer for the grass from the chainsaw, then the maximum that you can do is the lawn mower on wheels, since the unit engine is quite heavy, and apply the above.described trimmers manufacturing (with the lower drive).

Therefore, the cart is first made. It can be welded from a 25×25 mm corner. The size of the frame should be 500×600 mm. The wheels are attached in the angle of the frame.

Further, from the unit it is necessary to unscrew the “helm” and the tire. The handle of the cart can be made from water pipes. The “helm” is fastened to her. It is also necessary to lengthen the fuel hose and gas cable.

When installing the cart handle, you should pay attention to ensuring that it does not overlap the tank (starter).

The gasoline engine is installed (screwed through the holes to fix the tire) on the frame so that the gearbox is rotated 90 degrees and the shaft is below.

Now it remains only to fix the cutting tool on the unit shaft. This is done as follows.

• To the “star” of the device, it is necessary to weld a small piece of pipe, 80 mm long and 50 mm diameter. It is better to cut the pipe on a lathe so that the ends are perfectly even.
• Next, find the pipe with a slightly larger diameter. equal to 58 mm. It must also be cut off 80 mm long. Thus, you will receive a telescopic shaft, which is connected using 2 bolts (M6) located opposite each other. The bolts must have counter. The following shows the scheme according to which the head of the trimmer for the grass is made, which serves to fix the cutting tool.

In telescopic pipes you need to make several holes so that the height of the knives above the ground can be adjusted.

The knife is better to make such a design as in the next figure.

Due to the fact that the disk is fixed with movable knives on rivets, when meeting with a stone or dry branch, they will simply bounce. This will protect the shaft and gearbox from damage that may occur when jaming the tool.

Rivets that hold the knives on the disk must be metallic.

Disk diameter (made of 4 mm sheet steel) should be 180 mm. The knives are made of strips of 30 mm wide and 120 mm long, cut out with a corner grinder from a knife shell on a wooden.

Corner grinder grain

If you are engaged in households and you have to cook animal feed all the time, then a homemade grain.bell made of corner grinding grinds, made by your own hands, will be very welcome.

To make a home.made grain.circuit, the following materials will be required:

• Thin tin for the manufacture of a case with a sieve and a grain receiver;
• Plywood plywood for cutting the base for a grain.circuit;
• Steel for making knives or their ready.made options from vegetable progress.

So, let’s start with the most interesting, with the manufacture of the basis. To do this, you will have to take a rectangular piece of plywood, in size 50 by 40 cm. Closer to the edge, it will be necessary to attach an angular grinder and circle its contours for cutting the holes in the faner. Subsequently, the angular grinder will be fixed directly in the hole through metal bolts and a plate.

Then you can take on the manufacture of the case in which grain grinding will occur. Make it best out of thin tin. After the manufacture of the housing, in the bottom you should be inhabited by many holes, with a diameter of not more than 3 mm. Through the holes, as in a sieve, a grain.begwood crushed by knives will pass, grain.

Knives, as it was said above, is best made from a strip of thin steel. For the convenience of fastening, the knife can be fixed directly with a nut from the corner grinder, making a hole in it previously suitable under the diameter of the rod. Now it remains to make a receiver for filling grain in a grain.circuit. You can also make it from tin or from a plastic bottle of 5 liters with a cut bottom.

Homemade protective casing

If a homemade mower is made by you, then you will definitely need a protective casing. He will protect your eyes, body and legs from injury with small pebbles and fragments of knives if they break.

A trimmer for grass can be made from a sheet of aluminum or thin tin.

• At first, in the corner of the square of the metal it is necessary to drill the hole of the desired diameter (depending on the type of drive of your unit) using the crown.
• Then you need to make markings for fasteners. As a basis to which homemade protection will be screwed, you can use a standard casing from corner grinding, if you make a trimmer for grass from it.
• Close the workpiece with a clamp and using a tape measure and a pencil, draw the first circle with a radius of about 270 mm. The center of the circumference will serve as the corner angle. It is impossible to give accurate recommendations about the radius, since it will depend on the diameter of the cutting tool that you will use with the unit. Therefore, first decide which knives you will use, and which fishing line will be optimal.
• Next, conduct a second arc (this will be a bend), slightly retreating from the first. In this case, 5 centimeters. Thus, you measured the height of the future shield. In general, the height of the casing is recommended to be done so that when you put it exactly on the ground, the cutting tool does not reach it about 2 cm.
• After marking the second line, it is necessary to cut the workpiece along it, using a hacksaw for metal or an electrician with a file on metal.
• In addition, it is necessary to make radial cuts (to the first arc) and bend the resulting parts with pliers at an angle of 90 °.
• Further, the shield is attached to the protective casing of the corner grinding, the cutting tool is installed, and the unit is ready to work.

In this way, you can make and install a protective casing and on a trimmer purchased in a store if the shield has split for some reason. The shields in the factory devices are made of plastic and often break if you unsuccessfully hit the head of the trimmer for grass on the ground for lengthening the fishing line.

Gasoline braid

The device of the gas mowing of gasoline is easy. The design of this device is different from the electrical version, because it will be an unit that works with circular rotations of disks with cutting parts.

A homemade rotary mower is made from the rear axle of the vase and consists of:

• Air.cooled gasoline engine (a motor with a capacity of 6.5 horsepower is suitable);
• discs (you can take special discs from an unused seeder);
• knives;
• metal frame (can be welded from a metal angle 44);
• A axis of mounting with a diameter of 8 mm. 2 pcs.;
• pens (it can go into the supporting frame);
• Shinks;
• fasteners (screws and nuts);
• wheels (4 pieces).

To make a rotary (disk) mower, it is necessary to drill the holes in each of the discs to attach 4 knife (the distance between the blade and its mount should be more than the thickness of the knife by 1 mm). Equipping the gasoline engine with a manufactured device, twisting the wheels to it and weld the entire structure into one whole on a metal frame, it remains to attach a handle to control a mower.

Briefly about the main thing

If the question arises of how to assemble the lawn mower, first of all, you should choose the desired type of home.made device.

To collect a working mower, you need to have a basis, engine, wheels, cutting parts and a handle.

Electric lawn mowers are assembled on the basis of a motor, which is borrowed in one of the unnecessary household appliances: drills, corner grinders, electric saws and so on.

The gasoline contains a gasoline engine as the main working part.

The rotary mower cuts off excess lawn grass thanks to twisting disks.

We make a motorized car

From a conventional bicycle, home masters managed to make a more practical vehicle. they rearranged the engine from motorcycles on it. At the same time, options are practically implemented both with a gasoline engine and with an electric motor.

Required tools, materials and details

The electric engine for a bicycle is powered by a battery, which, depending on the power of the unit (it is taken 0.35-1.2 kW), is enough from 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Two- or four-stroke gasoline engines are used to remake a bicycle. The last option consumes less fuel and is not so noisy during operation. The recommended power is from 1.5 liters.With., And the best option 2 l.With. When using a motor with a smaller parameter, the motorcycle bike will barely go or will not be able to move at all at all.

Rotational movement from an engine operating on gasoline to the bicycle wheel occurs using a belt or chain transmission. Because of this, you will need to make the following details:

• Metal suspension in the form of a frame with sides to fix the motor on the bicycle frame;
• The driven and leading pulleys or stars for attaching to the engine and wheel, respectively.

The use of chain transmission from the point of view of practicality is preferable than a belt, because the belt wears out faster, especially if it regularly gets wet.

For the implementation of the project, you will need to choose a suitable gearbox. After installing the pulleys, choose a belt of the desired size.

The dimensions of the frame under the engine depend on its dimensions. The suspension itself to the frame of the mototalosyped is fixed:

The last option in strength is the best if the welder is good. If the design of a bicycle frame allows, then the suspension is replaced with a clamp with which the engine is fixed. This fastening option is more practical. The method of fixing the motor should be comfortable, reliable and allowed to quickly remove it if necessary.

The performance of all the work with your own hands in the presence of an old, functioning trimmer for grass, a bicycle and a small set of tools will require the executor of time, as well as patience.

Construction assembly sequence

To independently collect a bicycle with a engine working on gasoline, you will need, in addition to the materials and details considered, also:

• controller;
• cable for adjusting the operation of the motor;
• fuse;
• exhaust pipe welded by welding;
• sleeve;
• washers;
• bolts;
• chain tensioner.

The assembly of a mototalosip is carried out according to this algorithm:

• put on the rear bicycle wheel asterisk;
• The engine is fixed with a clamp (with an asterisk on the shaft) on the frame behind the seat or on the trunk, if the design features of the bicycle allows, otherwise you will need to choose another convenient place for this purpose;
• put on the chain on the stars of the wheel and motor;
• attach the tensioner;
• regulate the stretch of the chain;
• fix the handle of gas;
• stretch the cable to the engine;
• fix the fuel tank;
• Mount the carburetor.

In order to personal safety during the operation of a motorcycle, a braking system is modernized, the wheel tires are changed to non.slip products, check the integrity and stability in the movement of the created structure. After the entire structure is assembled, it is tested, having previously examined the shortcomings.

It is recommended to give preference to disc brakes.

Checking in work

We start the motor. Adjusting idle revolutions we set the output voltage at the output of the generator in the region of 220 V.

We connect various loads. Voltage subsidence is not significant.

I can’t say by the power of the installation itself, but I think it is quite possible to take 200-300 watts from it.

What can be done from a trimmer for grass: beneficial homemade

The easiest and cheaper to make a lawmaker from a trimmer for grass. The trimmer for grass is already designed to mow small vegetation, but unlike the lawn mower you have to carry it all the time, which causes a lot of inconvenience. Having made a simple but effective device, it will quite turn out to facilitate this overwhelming burden.

So, to remake a trimmer for grass in a lawn mower, it will be enough to use a metal frame made of steel wire and two or four wheels. If you need a full.functional lawmaker from a trimmer for grass, then it is best, of course, to install four wheels on a metal frame.

Also, the necessary elements of a home.made lawn mower are protection, handles and control buttons. As for the knives, you can completely abandon them and use standard “trimmer” accessories for mowing grass, which is a fishing line for a trimmer. The trimmer itself for the grass, as it becomes clear, is installed on top of the frame, at a certain height from the ground.

Thus, you can easily and simply redo a trimmer for grass in a lawn mower with minimal financial investments, seriously modifying and improving the most popular today, a manual tool for care for the lawn.

Corner grinder

By a similar principle, you can make an electric lawn mower from a corner grinder. It turns out less powerful and small sizes. Most often, not knives are attached to it, but special fishing lines for cutting grass, as can be seen in the photo. The main advantage of a corner grinder mowel is that the tool can be easily removed and used for its intended purpose.

Let’s summarize

Almost all owners of summer cottages are faced with the problem of caring for their lawn. It is quite difficult to process it manually, and special devices are expensive. But you do not need to despair, because the lawn mower can be easily done yourself using improvised tools.
