Manufacturing process
How to make a walk-behind tractor with your own hands? Not that difficult. First, determine what needs you will be using it for. The power of the engine and the design as a whole will depend on this.
After that, make drawings of a homemade walk-behind tractor. Pay close attention to all the details. Draw them clearly and clearly. This will significantly reduce the time that you spend on manufacturing and assembly, as well as reduce the number of possible errors at times.
Engine
Get involved in strengthening the engine. It must be attached to the frame and rigidly fixed. Use the option that is the best value for money, but not too expensive. For some options, even Chinese is suitable.
Possible problems
However, like any other thing, walk-behind tractors can break. Especially if they are of poor quality. Below we will tell you about the repair of the walk-behind tractor.
So, all problems can be divided into several categories:
Fuel is not being supplied correctly. To solve the problem, check the ignition and clean the gas tank, as well as the entire fuel supply system. Try starting the walk-behind tractor again. If this does not help, then you can flush the fuel cock and tank with clean gasoline, and then blow out the connecting hose located near the carburetor.
Broken carburetor. This can also be signaled by a problem with the fuel supply. In order to repair a part, check the condition of the bracket and the float. Adjust the design with a screwdriver in case something is wrong. Also check if the valves are in good condition.
Gearbox problems. Constant noises can become an indicator. This indicates that the oil level is too low. If simply adding oil from the noise did not save you, then you should flush the entire system and change the brand of the oil to be poured.
In addition, check how tightly the transmission elements are holding. If the fastening is not tight enough, tighten the bolts. Or if you find any defects, then be sure to replace the broken parts.
Another breakdown option may be a problem with the engine. the ignition pedal fails (eliminated by removing carbon deposits), or they can be caused by breakdowns in the spark plugs or the electrical network. Unfortunately, nothing can be fixed here. You just have to replace the part.
Where to begin?
First, make drawings of the future tractor. You can find the finished scheme in the public domain on the Internet. Then make a frame from tubes and metal fasteners.
Country Ways – Walking Plows
It is desirable that it has a movable part so that the trailer can turn. After that, make a body from a sheet of metal.
The sides should not be too high. about 25 cm. Now you can proceed with the final assembly: attach the seat, attachments. Test drive time. if everything goes well, then feel free to get to work.
Wheels
Pick up parts and assemblies. they should be close at hand and in good condition. Size them correctly. the wheels must be correctly matched to the engine and suspension. Otherwise, you won’t be able to make a good product.
Why make a walk-behind tractor with your own hands?
So, what are the advantages of a self-made walk-behind tractor? First, it will provide tremendous assistance in processing (in particular, plowing) the land and will reduce time and labor costs.
In addition, if you can make an all-terrain vehicle out of it, it will help you to travel long distances and into the most difficult-to-reach places. In addition, it consumes quite little fuel (5 liters is enough for half a day of intensive work).
You can use the unit for transporting goods up to 300 kg (for this you will need to attach a trailer for the walk-behind tractor), harrowing the soil, harvesting, removing snow and debris, distributing fertilizers over the site.
With due diligence, a home-made device in its characteristics will hardly differ from an expensive imported one.
Basis of construction
The construction is based on a metal frame made of a pipe. Attach the chain reducer to it and adjust the stroke. This will serve as the basis for attaching the transport cart and other attachments.

“Universal”
The stand was made from a 50 × 50 profile pipe with a thickness of 4 mm, which was welded to stiffening ribs. For the manufacture of loader arrows, a 60x40x4 mm pipe was used. A hydraulic system is installed to set the entire structure in motion. lifting hydraulic cylinders 50x25x250 mm, evacuation cylinders 42x20x250 mm. Additionally, a removable bucket is installed on the frame, forks (photo) (welded from a profile pipe 60x40x 4 mm), a dozer blade.
Beginning of work
Note. Do not use drill pipe joint sealant prior to final assembly after finishing. Prepare a piece of M5 threaded rod with a length of 67 mm and glue the front levers O, the turntable L and the turntable N (photo G). When the glue is dry, connect the swivel plates to the 22 mm threaded stud and union nuts (fig. 2).
To attach the upper Q arms to the yoke, use the M5 76 grub screw, washers and flare nuts (Figure 1). Insert the 67mm threaded rod on the blade I-O assembly through the holes in the upper arms so that the blade is under the F / G beam.
Attach the front levers O to the beam, then connect the vertical levers P to the front and upper levers with threaded stud parts, securing the assembly with nuts and washers (Fig. 2, photo H). Check how the assembled assembly rises and falls.
H. Punch 9mm axle holes in four 32mm wheels (Photo I). Try on wheels with a diameter of 32 and 64 mm on chassis A and front axle H by inserting the axles and washers (picture 1). Remove wheels and all equipment. Paint over the ends of the axles that will be inserted into the holes with masking tape and apply a finishing coat to all parts. (Three coats of polyurethane semi-matt varnish were applied from an aerosol can with intermediate sanding of an abrasive sponge No.320.)
When the coating is completely dry, apply some glue to the walls of the holes before inserting the axes into them. Assemble the lift and tilt parts by applying red sealant to the ends of the threaded studs. Tighten the nuts so that the blade rotates and lifts effortlessly and remains stationary in any position.

Home defense booby traps
If it is indeed SHTF and the intruder walks by, the alarm disconnects the wires.
If he somehow escapes your personal traps, you will have to rely on traps to protect your home installed at the entrances to your house.
How to shorten the bridge from the VAZ?
Sometimes, in order to construct a homemade mini-tractor, it is necessary to shorten the bridge buildings. Consider this process using the example of a rear axle from a VAZ. The shortened axle is necessary in order to reduce the width of the wheelbase, thereby making the machine more compact and maneuverable.
First, you need to carefully prepare for the process. You need the rear axle itself, as well as tools like a welding machine, a grinder, a vice, screwdrivers, and more.
You need to cut the rear axle of the VAZ as follows:
- You need to cut off the spring cup;
- The end flange must be pulled out;
- The removed axle must be measured, compared with the drawing, and cut off with a grinder to size;
- At the end of the segment, put a notch that will serve as a mark for the “daddy” groove;
- Drill a hole inside the cup;
- After that, the semiaxis joins one into one and welded;
- The last stage. the finished semi-axle is inserted into the bridge. Welding is done on both sides.
