Coupling for the motor-block Neva with their own hands

Assembly at home

A hitch for a motor-block with your own hands can be made even outside of production. To create a quality product you will need good material, more precisely, durable metal. Even channel bars can be used as a base, since they have sufficient safety margin and are made according to the factory technology. Only a few more holes need to be made, and the homemade hitch will be partially ready.

This tool can be made entirely from solid steel or cast iron. But since such materials require special equipment for processing, it is better to buy or look for industrial blanks. If there are special workbenches, you can give the steel billet the necessary shape, which will cost much cheaper.

As a similar element, you can use parts of a car. The cardan, for example, can be a good hitch for the trailer of the motorcycle tractor, if it is properly strengthened. For each individual brand, the coupling device for the power tiller will be slightly different, but there are a few universal options that can also be used for the minitractor.

In some situations, you may need to make a hitch for a power tiller with your own hands. A single-axle tractor is an indispensable attribute of any gardener-gardener. Buying a power tiller is often accompanied by the purchase of related parts: trailer, dipstick, plow, harrow and other parts. For attaching them to the machine, you need a hitch. There are many brands on the market these days, but not every machine has a suitable part, so you can make your own hitch.

In some situations, you may need to make a hitch for your own hands. A single-axle tractor is an indispensable attribute of any gardener-gardener. Buying a motocultivator is often accompanied by the purchase of related parts: trailer, dipstick, plow, harrow and other parts. In order to attach them to the machine, you will need a hitch. There are many manufacturers of cultivators on the market today, but not every machine has a suitable spare part, so you can make your own hitch.

Artisanal models

These options are the most common among the owners because of their ease of production and cost. By reading on the forums, you can find a lot of different options for assembly.

You need to make (or you can find ready-made on the Internet) drawing of such a trailer. Then calculate the number of necessary rolled metal parts and angles. At this time you will carefully analyze the drawing and, if necessary, make adjustments to it.

As the bottom of the future body can be used metal or boards of suitable size. And on their edges to install the corners, which will be the basis of the entire body.

In the next step, the sides are installed on the structure. At this stage, you can think about folding sides to make loading and unloading easier.

Most often a single axle is installed. It should run exactly in the center. And the body itself is slightly lifted forward. This prevents the load from rolling off the trailer during transport.

You can use a steel rod to attach the wheels. It must be strong enough to withstand heavy loads and protrude slightly over the edge of the cart.

On the front side is installed a seat for the comfort of the driver. Here you can take an old one or make a new one, whatever you have enough imagination. At the bottom at a small distance is set a footrest, on which the feet will be put.

It is also necessary to think about the future clutch with the power tiller. On the forums there are a large number of special drawings that show the schemes and dimensions of this clutch.

Trailers have different capacities, and this is one of the criteria used in their classification. Most often at home there is no need to use devices with a high load capacity indicator. In addition, all trailers for power tillers can be divided into groups according to their design:

• One-piece. have the simplest design, in which the bottom and walls are joined together in a fixed way.
• With hinged sides. excellent for transporting large-sized cargo.
• Dump trucks. convenient during unloading operations and allows you to increase their productivity.

Planning to buy a trailer or make a cart for a power tiller with your own hands, it is important to consider some design features.

If with one-piece trailers everything is simple enough, in the case of other types it is necessary to do. Particular attention should be paid to the following factors:

Choosing a hitch for a single-axle tractor

Any hitch or trailed implement for a power tiller, be it a harrow, a dipper, a mower, a cart-trailer or any other equipment is attached by a hitch. If the basic part is not suitable, the owner has the choice of buying a suitable one or making a hitch for a power tiller with his hands. In any case, determining which variant of the node will be able to best fit the tasks that the unit performs, it is necessary to consider a number of points, including:

• The features of the power block or cultivator;
• The scope of application of the unit. the functions it performs;
• The equipment to be aggregated with it;
• loads;
• the need for versatility.

On this basis, you should carefully familiarize yourself with the most commonly used designs and orient your choice based on the features of the one that is best suited in this case.

In this video you will learn more about the hitch:

When choosing a hitch for a single-axle tractor, you should take as a basis the most suitable type of part. There are several types:

• single/double. used with different linkage options depending on what is used and in what quantity;
• reinforced. optimal for heavy machines; its distinctive feature is that it is more massive. it has a greater thickness and length, which allows additional equipment to be deeper into the ground;
• Adjustable. provides the ability to change the angle of the shaft, so you can adjust the level of attachment and thereby increase the efficiency of work;
• Universal hitch. allowing you to link up with several models.

If the coupling to the desired design is not available on sale or there are some requests for it, it is not so difficult to make it yourself, because it is a fairly simple device. Some craftsmen, who prefer to make many “accessories” for the power tiller with their own hands, make a design of the coupling for the trailer of the “pipe-in-pipe”, make it from a cardan, from a cross tube, from other improvised parts, left from various mechanisms. The owners of such devices note that to make such a unit is not particularly difficult, and share their experience and drawings of the coupling for the motoblock.

making it

The work should be carried out on a flat surface, for this purpose use a locksmith’s table or workbench. First, the body of the hitch for the power tiller or its trailer is made. Made of high quality sheet steel or channel. This is a step-by-step process:

• Marking. This procedure indicates the contours and dimensions of the components to be hitched.
• Drilling. The main tool at this stage is a drill or machine. Diameter is measured with a caliper, and then a fastener (bolt or stud) is inserted into the mounting hole. This avoids backlash and jamming.
• Welding of structural elements at the joints marked on the drawing.
• Assembling. A mounting bracket and adjusting mechanisms are mounted on the body of the future motor-block hitch.

If you use a drill to drill holes, then this process can be greatly simplified. To do this, first you drill a hole of smaller diameter, and then. a larger one, corresponding to the size of the bolts used.

After completing the hitch assembly and checking that all the elements are fastened, all that is left is to mount it directly on the single axle tractor. Beforehand, all the holes for fixation are carefully checked, then the device is fixed with bolts and pins. The attachment is adjusted prior to performing a specific task. This is done by loosening the fastening bolts and finding the optimal position for the current work. Next, the installed attachment is tightened with wrenches, check the reliability of fasteners. After all of these steps are complete, it is time to get down to work on the field.

How to make a hitch on a single axle tractor with your own hands?

It is easy enough to make a trailed implement with one’s own hands. Nevertheless, before the work required to prepare carefully, namely, to choose a reliable material and equipment, as well as study the scheme.

It is best to make a quality hitch for the power tiller being used out of strong metal. Shtrevs made according to the factory technology, and with sufficient power reserve can serve as a solid base. In the channels you will need to make a couple of holes, so the homemade hitch will be almost half ready.

Steel or cast-iron parts will be required to refine the workpiece made. But, since the parts made of these materials are quite difficult to work with, you can look for and buy suitable blanks, which will be easier to finish with your own hands. Some spare parts from the car will be suitable as blanks for the coupling mechanism. For example, a cardan shaft can play the role of a reliable hitch for a tractor-trailer.

Assembling a homemade coupling mechanism should be performed using the following parts:

• metal plates, steel channels, which will need to be used when welding the base of the connecting unit;
• steel bolts and enlarged studs are used for movable and fixed attachment of coupling mechanisms;
• adjusting body with its role is a kind of lever, which, when used, will allow you to change the position of the coupling.

It will only be possible to assemble a reliable coupling mechanism for a power tiller with the help of certain equipment.

To work you need to prepare:
