Any work on the land plot takes a lot of time and effort. Therefore, gardeners are increasingly using special equipment, such as tillers. But you can not do all this unit. Without a special adapter, you will not be able to weed or earth the earth, as well as remove snow and debris. A cart with a seat for the motoblock is now quite expensive. However, there is a way out. In our article you will learn how you can make a homemade adapter for the motor-block with your own hands without much effort.

Adapter for motoblock - what is it?
The adapter is a special module for riding on the motorblock. With it, you can control the sitting tractor and at the same time cultivate the ground. Adapter for such a motor tractor as the Neva, has a steering.You can do it yourself, but more on that later. Now we will consider the purpose of attachments.
With the help of the adapter, you will greatly simplify the use of the motoblock. You will be able to change the nozzles for planting and hilling potatoes, plows, flat cutters and other devices. Also, the adapter will accelerate any garden work. That is, if you use such a device, then the working speed will increase from 5 to 10 km / h.
Design features of the adapter to the walk-behind tractor
The adapter to the motor-block consists from:
- frames;
- seats for the driver;
- pairs of wheels;
- wheel axle;
- devices for coupling.
Now we will tell about each component in more detail.
Frame
To create a tiller with front steering, you need a frame. The seat for the driver or the body is attached to it. The frame is mounted on the chassis.
Driver's seat
For convenience, the seat is attached to the frame for the driver. It is thought over in order that it was comfortable and easy to operate the motor-block while working in the garden.
Wheels and wheel axle
Wheels and a wheel axle will facilitate to you work with the motor-block in a kitchen garden.
There are two types of wheels for the motorblock - metal and rubber. Metal wheels are used for quality work in the fields. Rubber tires are equipped with protectors that allow you to drive on a dirt road. In any case, the wheels on the adapter come bundled with a walk-behind tractor when purchased. But if you want to change them - pay attention to the type of this component and their size.
Device for mounting (hitch) with walk-behind tractor
The hitch for the motor-block Neva is made of cast iron or steel. It is performed by welding. Coupling is one of the important component nodes. It provides reliable connection of the hook-on equipment to the motor-block. The most popular is considered to be a U-shaped hitch assembly, because with this device the vehicle becomes more stable.
Independent manufacture of the adapter to the walker with their own hands: drawings and step by step instructions
Now we will talk about how to make the front adapter for the motor-block with the steering. We will tell you about what materials you need, and also describe the step by step instructions for creating and assembling the unit.
What you need to create an adapter
To create an adapter with a steering wheel for a motoblock, you will need the following materials:
- A pair of wheels with an axle. The radius of the wheels varies between 15-18 inches. Even the wheels from the old Volga car might fit.
- Bearings for steering column and wheels.
- Metal for the frame (angle, pipe or channel).
- Fasteners (nuts, bolts, washers).
- Lubricant (grease or lithol).
- Consumables (disks for grinders, electrodes, drills).
- Welding machine.
- Drill.
- Bulgarian.
- Set of wrenches.
Algorithm of actions for creating an adapter for the motoblock
We turn to the manufacture of the adapter to the motoblock. First you need the drawings, according to which all parts will be manufactured and fastened.
You can do the drawing yourself if you have the appropriate skills. If you are afraid to make a mistake in the calculations - look for drawings on the Internet or on specialized sites. For example, according to this scheme, you can make the simplest adapter for the motorblock.
We proceed to build a mini-tractor with their own hands.
Stage 1. It all starts with the manufacture of the frame. You can make it from cut pieces of metal of the desired length. Metal can be cut with a grinder and bolted together or electric welding elements.
Stage 2. After the frame do the chassis. If the engine of your motoblock is in front, it means that the width of the track needs to be determined by the base wheels. Rear mounted to the frame with the axis. You can make it from a piece of pipe of the desired width. At the ends of this pipe we press-in bushings with bearings. The wheels are mounted on them.
If the engine of your tiller is located at the back, the width of the track must be larger, otherwise the mini-tractor will not be able to balance normally during operation. In this situation, the base wheels of the motoblock are better removed and installed on a wider bridge.
Stage 3. In order to make the steering wheel to the motoblock, it is not necessary to remove additional handles from a motorcycle or car.
It is enough to use the handle of the motoblock. Thus, you can drive a mini-tractor with a wheel that looks like a motorcycle.
However, you can not normally pass the back. Therefore, it is better to install the steering column on the mini-tractor.
Stage 4. When using an all-metal frame, the steering will be integrated into the front axle of the motoblock.
You can make an articulated frame, then the steering column will turn to the front half of the frame completely. To do this, you need to weld a gear to the front half frame. The other gear is mounted on the steering column.
Stage 5. A seat that can be removed from a passenger car should be welded to the frame of the sled. It should be regulated, especially when driving the front adapter, which is attached to the walk-behind tractor.
Stage 6. If you plan to use a mini-tractor to work with cultivators and plows, then you need to additionally weld the bracket. To work with attachments should install an additional hydraulic system. The pump can be easily removed from agricultural machinery.
To work with semi-trailers you need to weld the hitch from the car to the rear of the frame.
Stage 7. The hitch for the motoblock can be made by hand, we will even provide you with the necessary drawings in order to facilitate the work.
In order to make a U-shaped hitch, you need a metal channel of the correct size and thickness. Attach the hitch under the steering column of the motoblock. By following our drawings, you can drill holes in certain places. Through them will be mounted pin and bracket.
The front adapter on the Neva motoblock is completed. After assembly, you need to lubricate the mini-tractor and try it out. After this, the preparation of the adapter can be considered finished, and you can safely work on the motor-block.
