ATV Tracks Build Start to Finish

ATV tracks build full process - making snow tracks from scratch for my 2003 Honda Foreman ATV. This ATV tracks fabrication process was recorded 10 years ago and filmed with a potato - I apologize for the video quality. I still have these homemade tracks but unfortunately sold the Honda ATV after I finished my homemade 4x4 UTV build which replaced the Honda.

For those of you who are waiting for the part 3 of the minibike build - I'm waiting for some parts and I will continue minibike build next week and hopefully get a video in on upcoming Saturday. But in the meantime a blast from the past. My other videos: www.youtube.com/@DonnDIY/videos Support me on: www.patreon.com/DonnDIY Follow me on: instagram.com/DonnDIY

ON these tracks, you built, I was concerned about the weight of the materials, and how it would make the TRANSmission and engine have to work more to move it? Have you had any problems with it, i noticed it posted 17 hours ago, and its too early to tell. But it did seem it was struggling? How big was your ATV engine? But I thought it was a cool build, exciting to see other ones. Very Nice. Thank you.

[@SiboBushings]

The music reminds me of the 90s, great video congratulations 😊

[@jonathangrenier104]

Still a good video being from 10 years ago, i was wondering why the style was a bit different but still enjoyed it. Thanks

[@davidbrewer7937]

Amazing to look back. Oh how your shop, tools, methods & skills have evolved... and how much more slick your videos are!

[@Kazar2020]

he is the kind of the guy you absolutely need in case of WW3. Just sick what he can do.. Respect

[@who346]

he is a kind of guy you need now....Love to make a powered little dump truck.* or a front end loader....

[@horatiohornblower868]

My goodness, Donn, this video was made ages ago, when the workshop was still a freezing stable and the machine park rather primitive. But even in those harsh times you managed to make wonderful contraptions!

[@SeloUrala]

С новым самокатом!

[@ChatterontheWire]

Those tracks are how I initially found your channel!

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

It's hard to believe that this was filmed 10 years ago Donn, but I remember it well and enjoyed it all again today. Sure have covered a lot of ground since the original build but I've enjoyed your channel every step of the way. Stay safe and keep them coming. Fred.

[@atvdk3377]

This(your channel especially) is what I personally prefer to watch, and no talking, just music and fabrication.. and SKILLS! You cannot beat that combo.. Just awesome! Br. jacob

[@ButterflyMatt]

Thousands of years before the dawn of Mr. Chop . . .

[@iteerrex8166]

There was the saber tooth tiger…

[@richardcorwin1828]

Mad respect to you sir for just the repetition of parts. Thank you for sharing Donn!

[@scottsorby7966]

I liked the predecessor of Mr Chop 👍 It was weird seeing you in a boiler suit right enough but a great bit of your engineering work shared

[@Wil_Liam1]

That's my boy and that 03,04 Rubicon is one of the best atvs Honda has ever produced and aold and I miss the 2 of them I had..

[@rjung_ch]

Like the "blast from the past" Donn! 👍💪✌

[@flatlinesup]

always enjoy the vids from my First Favorite Estonian YT Channel ! As always, thank you for sharing Donn! Nothing but respect.

[@sinaca05]

My question is what you would never want to build because you do make a lot of good and useable stuff.

[@barthanes1]

That's a blast from the past. I had to look back to see that it was 10 years ago. Damn, i can't believe I've been watching that long.

[@mconfluence]

Those are just like snowcat tracks. Very cool build.

[@JKWorkShop]

good atmosfer in old videos ! the same like many that time home videos. feels special and nice! that is thing that most of new video dont have!

[@DuncanAitken]

Loving some retro-Donn!

[@Severomorskyi_Hermit]

It’s nice to immerse yourself in the world of your old crafts and minimal, at that time in life, tools, and thank you for sharing this with us. This is cool)).

[@fredericrike5974]

I enjoyed being back in your grandfather's shop. I was tricked by the Algorithm into seeing your saw mill build a while back- so I remember this old barn- part of it was still an animal barn, I'm thinking, from some of the concrete work you had to do to get a flat floor! Today, you are still in that building; but it is warmer, it is cheaper to heat too, as well as better lit, has more tools and hard crafting gear- your grandfathers start is now your legacy. And you are about to kick the Big Butt! So, yes, I really felt good about seeing "the bad old days"- it makes it easy to see how far you have come. Fred

[@firepinto]

The music brings me back in time! Cool project!

[@PorkBarrel.]

Very cool...Hasenpfeffers!

[@garymucher4082]

Heck of a lot of designing and building for those tracks. But it sure looks like they would be fun to drive... Thumbs Up!

[@gavster89]

Anyone else getting Avril Lavigne vibes around 4:30? I'm liking it lol

[@dannmann17]

That was awesome!👍🏻🇺🇸

[@blackbuttecruizr]

Donn and coffee, doesn't get any better. This must be an older video, the shop is dark and dingy like before he did the floor and repainted, and no Mr. Chop!!!

[@dsadzaglishvili]

Agreed.. Wife is making Coffe now)

[@davidestelter1092]

! nice, and like i said before. "You the man"!!!

[@johnmay8887]

Always was one of my favorite videos to go back and watch. Can't believe I've been watching for so long

[@juliermefeltrinaguiar366]

Quer dizer que há dez anos atrás tu já era o cara. E até hoje continua sendo o mesmo cara das megas construções e é cada uma melhor que a outra. Meus parabéns pelo seu trabalho.continue assim.

[@n.b.p.davenport7066]

Good job

[@sims76]

making the Continuous track is hard job 👍 21:00

[@SpiderF27]

Excellent! You're the best.

[@akbarkarimzadeh7789]

great build

[@BarnStangz]

Oh man, blast from the past! I can't even imagine how many hours you have into this build!!! I really like your use of jigs and other ideas to speed up production. You've got some great skills and I so happy that it was videos like this that launched your KZbin career! And don't be upset about the potato quality, it has a nice vintage feel to it my friend!

[@palo1707]

Portable snowmobile! Very nice, stiff build. Expected better traction but snow is not deep enough.

[@davidspilman531]

May have been an old video it’s always a pleasure to watch yours ! you work so hard to make things right

[@khabbamohamed9174]

مجهود محترم وفكرة ممتازة تابعت هدا الفيديو بكل التفاصيل وحسب معلوماتي البسيطة ان الحديد او البراغي لم تكن من الحديد المقاوم للإحتكاك وأن زيادة العرض لن تدوم طويلا ستجد مشاكل التحمل كان بالامكان إستعمال إطار عريض يتحمل الهيكل .على العموم تحدي لانك جمعت بين الخراطة والتلحيم والمكانيك👍🇲🇦

[@ossy57]

Nothing wrong with The picture quality and The music is great!

[@gordonmackinnon8838]

DAM FINE WORK .

[@lumotroph]

Our man has a work ethic!

[@TheToolmanTim]

That homemade chop saw looks deadly!

[@Z-Bart]

Ha! We got to see Mr. Chop #1. Lol. @8:47.

[@curm1778]

Long time back. Your skills as a videographer have really grown

[@user-xu5uv8sq6g]

Здорово! Что тут скажешь? Светлая голова, "золотые" руки. Просто молодец! Браво!

[@pierrebelanger3643]

Good job. Always nice to watch your videos. I’ve tracks too on my 92’ big bear, it’s a working tank in my sugarbush. Thanks

[@randytravis3998]

[@09FLTRMM77]

MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼

[@robertshemory3541]

[@jlucasound]

[@gerardmeunier8309]

Vous êtes un génie ❤

[@richardwood6323]

I'm digging the background music

[@MarcinKrukar]

19:06 - mmmmrrr... Spaghetti!

[@danacampbell-vu2ut]

It seemed weird to see you working in the old shop when I was used to you working in the new shop. 👍❤️📹😃

[@jamesa7506]

Great video of an awesome build my friend! Well done. 👍

[@sebas5688654]

Гусеницы, установленные в передней части, принесут лишь повышенный расход топлива.

[@vinceianni4026]

Hello Donn beautifully done good job

[@brandygray5894]

Awesome 👍

[@user-gh6ks4ju4q]

Мужик ти красава👍👍👍

[@MrFakit]

That was the vid that made me subscribe

[@haraldlonn898]

Perfect for your weather. Breat build. Thanks.

[@edwardweisenburg6585]

Awesome ❤

[@geoffreyjones2000]

I imagine in a hundred years they will be studying your brain

[@terryryan1441]

Just a few changes to the shop!

[@DFaulkner0]

Cool!

[@joseluisbarcelogaspar7135]

Fabuloso el video . 💯💯👍👍

[@anon_y_mousse]

Those struts look beefy enough to be used for a regular car. Maybe something to consider for a future project.

[@aminuddinkhairulmohamedjaa1414]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@metricstormtrooper]

Don, you being from central Europe i would have thought you would have filmed it with a turnip rather than a potato. Edit, ps im glad you made it through the unguarded friction saw ere ALIVE.

[@user-hy5se5jj6u]

👍👍👍 просто супер!!!👍👍👍

[@adrianking8911]

Clearly this was before he bought “Mr Chop”😂

[@elissonmoraes5211]

Muito bom parabéns

[@bobwalton4879]

Wider mud flaps!

[@Deckzwabber]

00:20 Is that the Peugeot Partner that has served as a parts donor for so many of your projects?

[@Stanislav1971]

👍👍👍

[@iffonackerman5241]

👍👍👍!!!

[@n.b.p.davenport7066]

What stops those things from the whole unit going all the way around ?

[@Crewsy]

Since you still have the tracks but sold the quad have you thought of making adapter flanges to mount the tracks on your UTV?

[@fred-san]

''easy for you'' . 💭 💢

[@ibrafull]

теперь когда DonnDIY стал узнаваем можно переименовать в DonnWYCK 30:12

[@jubiletabustamanteserrano2446]

MUY BIEN UN GRAN TRABAJO .PERO CREO Y AFIRMO QUE LAS RUEDAS INCHABLES SE BAN ARAJAR ENSEGUIDA POR LAS PIEZAS PIRAMIDALES QUE VAN DENTRO DE LA BANDA DE GOMA .POR LO DEMAS UN GRAN TRABAJO

[@sjoemie_himself]

Great compilation of an epic build. Do you still have the ATV and tracks or did you sell them? Looking forward to the next monster minibike update. Greetings from the Netherlands, Mark

[@valdevieira8258]

👏👏👏👍

[@AlexanderBurgers]

...so what I' m hearing is, the part 2 of this video will be updating the tracks for the UTV? ;)

[@fred-san]

💈

[@robert__6019]

Who else want to see them on your UTV?😉

[@HappilyHomicidalHooligan]

Do the tracks fit the UTV or can they be easily modified to fit it? If they do fit, how hard would it be for you to make a set for the powered log trailer?

[@bigwinterboy]

Mäletan seda seeriat. See oli asi mis tõi mind sinu kanalile ja sellest ajast olen su tegemisi jälginud. Meeletu aeg ja vaev mis kulus nende valmistamiseks. Vägev!!

[@AntonioM.696.]

🤘🏿🤠

[@sparrowmoon]

Damn bro!

[@seansysig]

Rey cool fab! Do the tracks fit your side by side UTV?

[@vladzaha4169]

👍

[@dimooonz]

10:12 станину надо было закрыть на 1к62!
