Snow Tracks - DIY Heater and Enclosed Cab BUDGET BUILD

[@lalmuanpuiamizo]

It's been 9yrs now, I'm so glad I found your channel. The things I love, dogs, diy, reuse and repurpose, humour, humility... all at once. Thank you and good luck to you (though I'm afraid it did nothing :) )

[@grampa_ahah]

Ditto

[@bhoss7133]

Well said! Spot on.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Hey Thanks. Always great to have like minded people watch me mess with my old junk.

[@frankstavalo5788]

I couldn’t say it any better.

[@danh6746]

Always love seeing the clips of you and Ginger hanging out and having fun. It's great to see a KZbinr being a good influence and role model for young future pet owners. Thanks for the great content Moe!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Hey Thanks. She's a good sport.

[@rweg7844]

Loved the video I'm working onalmlst same principle other than I'm working off the exhaust pipe ran it thru the rear console bringing it up thru the console I'm able to get around a 100 degrees have a wildcat 1000x 4seater haven't tested it yet

[@alsouthern7190]

You did an awexome job with the tracks and Ginger did an awesome job with the chicken!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks!

[@ericvaughn1126]

Stupid awesome mods man and I had to stop in the middle to send the video to the wife and kids to see Ginger leave that chicken patty alone until you got back! 😮😳🤯. Love everything about the heated track machine with bonus cool AND safety lighted whips! Drone footage is killer. Keep em coming Moe!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks Eric! Thanks for watching me mess with my old junk.

[@bctruck]

Ginger is more trustworthy than me. I would have ate it then blamed it on a marauding gang of gypsys. I sure do enjoy watching your channel. Your builds and fixes are astounding and why I watch, but your relationship with ginger is icing on the cake.

[@sixtyfiveford]

LOL. You're awesome.

[@Joe.Doucette]

Excellent! You could make a little diverter tube to send some of the heat to clear the windshield so you could keep the doors closed when Ginger is with you. After watching you for years I still get a bit of twinge when I see Ginger running circles around when you drive. Amazing pup.

[@sixtyfiveford]

She knows how these machines move and I am always aware where she's at. Not going to say she hasn't got a little closer than I would like a few times but you have to remember dogs see everything/action in slow motion and can react 5x faster than we could.

[@Joe.Doucette]

Yup. They sure do. We have slow eyes. Stay well.

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

Ginger listens better than a wife.😅😅 Nice job as always!👍

[@sixtyfiveford]

LOL

[@yodasbff3395]

Ginger has incredible discipline, she is such a good dog. Yoda would have consumed that chicken the second I turned my head.😂 You did a great job turning your Yamaha into a snow machine. You and Ginger are going to have many hours of fun with it.

[@sixtyfiveford]

I didn't mention she's been stealing food off the counter when I go out of the room... In her defense I didn't say not to take that particular item.

[@trxtech3010]

Looks so Cozy to drive around in at night in the snow! lol Ginger is to damn cute!

[@shroom903]

Such an under rated channel

[@sixtyfiveford]

Hey thanks

[@bhoss7133]

0:20 Love your attitude Moe! You know you have the skill & talent to tackle & complete whatever your goal is!

[@sixtyfiveford]

You're too kind. Thanks for watching me play with my junk.

[@fraydnot]

What a cool build. Thanks for the upload

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks Man.

[@wtbm123]

Looks like you are on track now . Cab will make it nice .

[@sixtyfiveford]

LOL...

[@williamwilliams7706]

All leg drive is still a little better than the tracks. Nice job on this mod.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Yes it is.

[@juddmuterspaw4081]

Moe, I’ve said it a hundred times already but you never cease to amaze me! My best friend is just like you, you guys can just do anything mechanically! Keep up the good work!

[@sixtyfiveford]

That's awesome. Thanks man

[@fitzeesfabrications]

Very interesting. I been wanting a heater in my machine for winter. This is a cool idea.

[@sixtyfiveford]

The only issue is it isn't dry air. A few times I hit a big snowdrift and you could feel the moisture off the snow/radiator. Not a big deal unless the cab is fully closed and then it adds to the fog. You have the RZR if I recall. A lot of guys are using that bilge blower to just pull the heat off the engine between the seats.

[@KonKrom]

You men are gold on YT.

[@chrisnorcross618]

Brilliant mods. Especially the heater. That's a game changer for riding in the cold.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Heater was definitely a nice touch and I like it way better than the enclosed cab.

[@eamonnmckeown6770]

I might try those light whips on the delivery scooter. Video reminded me of when Nissan tracked an Altima.

[@sixtyfiveford]

They definitely stand out. I noticed all my state snowplow trucks have them now on the blade tips. Definitely not going to miss that.

[@mikejones5358]

Tracks are too cool love how you adapt things to work I do it also made a awesome machine ginger is still the star of the show love your channel

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks Mike.

[@carloskawasaki656]

Thank you for sharing, always a pleasure watch your project, I learn a lot 👍👍👍👍

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks Man. So nice of you

[@Hotdaddy536]

Good to see Ginger is having a blast and you as well..those tracks are off the chain .. looks like fun hope we don't get that much snow..lol..take care friend..👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@sixtyfiveford]

Snow is one of those things that isn't fun unless you play in it. Otherwise it's just misery.

[@wyattoneable]

Your ingenuity is amazing.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Hey Thanks

[@w3twir3d1]

Inspirational as always. Thx for sharing with us. God Bless.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks Man.

[@madddog7]

great project & well done. wish i had some snow ! came for the project, stayed for the dog :-)

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks 👍

[@patrickmorrissey2271]

Great job!!!! I do like those lights... More lights is never a bad idea, for a lot of reasons.... Very nice.

[@sixtyfiveford]

I get a kick out of auxiliary lights.

[@Rein_Ciarfella]

I knew you were going to feature the heated jacket in this one! 😉 Great build and a lot of fun. The outro reminded me of days as a kid sledding down the street next door and getting in that last run as it turned dark before going home to a warm house and my mom’s lentil soup. 👍

[@DannoTull]

Years ago Walmart sewing fabric department had clear plastic, two different thicknesses we used to cover our vanilla white, fabric dining chair seats to keep them looking nice. They still look good even though there's a few cracks. FYI for the future in case you decide to upgrade.

[@kirkdesmond]

A clear see through shower curtain is another option for your back window and doors. It's more durable, transparent and super cheap.

[@helmet098]

Living the dream

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks for watching.

[@BaileysDad369]

You sir, make some great videos with innovative ideas! Keep em coming!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Glad you like them!

[@daleyingling4868]

You got the best well-behaved dog!

[@jbj27406]

Having used GE appliances for over 50 years in our homes and rental properties, naturally, when I remodeled my kitchen about three years ago, I bought an entire new suite of GE appliances to replace my old ones, which were also GE and which had served me well for over twenty years. Unbelievably, I had trouble with each and every appliance that I bought. I said to myself, is this the same company that I've bought dozens of well-built, reliable, long-lasting appliances from over the last five decades? Well, no, it isn't. In 2016, GE sold its name, and its name only, to a Chinese company by the name of Haier. Just a word to the wise. They don't build them like they did in 1965. Or even 2015. Great project. Looks cool. Works great. How many MPG?

[@LumberjackPa]

All of your videos teach me, although I may never have a need for what you do. If a situation arises I at least know that it can be done and where to find it. You're leaving a legacy of good old-fashioned ingenuity for the common man. Thanks for sharing! P.S. Because of your steel pipe socket trick I will know to never buy a socket that I don't have.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Hey thanks

[@michaelbrinks8089]

Awesomeness 👍 👍 Rain X and Rain X anti fog also works good on plexiglass. I use it on my motorcycle helmet visor. New product idea 💡 snow tracks for riding lawnmower rear wheels with 2 skis🎿 on the front. Then change gearing so it'll go 25mph. I've been looking for a decent riding lawnmower. Then build a mini removable weather enclosure for it. So it looks like a mini tractor. Then make a cab heater by wrapping aluminum tubing around the exhast and either blowing air through. Or connecting to a car heater core, small 12v fan & adding anti freeze...So I can plow in winter & mow in the summer. Also try to change gearing. So it'll cruise along at 25 mph. For secondary emergency transportation in rain, cold.

[@MetallicAH2O]

That's so awesome!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Hey Thanks.

[@jafinch78]

@5:31 almost looks like you have a crack in your lower control arm mount point for the knuckle. I've been wanting to do similar with one of the Ford YT16's, 4x6 with actually snow mobile tracks to put over the tires I think. Literally, just posted the memory on my FB from a few years back. Thinking will be more handy for muck in the cow patty clay fields for hauling meat, wood and maybe some other things. Thinking until I'm old, I won't need for plowing or snow throwing though seems luxurious and inspiring. Great group of builds.

[@christophergolden5297]

This reminds me of my dad. He does cool stuff like this and it always blows me away that people like you and he can think of things like McGiver. Awesome job 👌

[@cubbeezx]

Ginger is one amazing dog. Love seeing her in the vids! Great job making those tracks fit..you are going to have a blast with them. Those light whips are sweet and heater is a huge bonus. Great vid as always.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks I've been wanting tracks forever. So much fun.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

We used to do this on old gravel roads when snow hit with 2-wheel drives, then VW's and then Jeeps. Now we all have 4-wheel drives but build fires in the wood stoves at home and watch the snow fall because we're too geezerish to fool with it.Good for you but too many LONG days with steel tracks did me in. The thermal of Ginger was neat. Blessings 2 Yall!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Good old VW off-roading is always a fun time.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

It was and old logging roads mostly. It's now a state park and the underwater part of a pumped storage project. Highways are no fun anymore and really never were except when the resident semi-wacko that started out living his 2nd childhood would pull us down it behind his Galaxy on a car hood. But those were a long time ago. @@sixtyfiveford

[@j.wilson641]

Love your projects! The way you figure out how to budget build things is the best! Been watching you for years.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@davidgridley3643]

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thank you very much!

They key to a great KZbin channel is definitely a great co-host...and you sir, have the absolute best. Thanks for the video. I learned a lot!

[@123gonow]

First comment here, been watching for a bit. Glad to see Ginger feeling better ! Utah looks like an amazing place to ride. Went to Colorado last summer and headed to Marysvale Utah to Rocky Ridge to run the Paiute in August ! Can’t wait ! Thanks for some fun projects that are a blast to follow. Not hard to make something out of nothing when nothing is all you have 😎

[@sixtyfiveford]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@transmitterguy478]

I did the tire fix on my scissor lift last month, worked well. It wasn't leaking but it had a big slit with a flap of rubber hanging on. I glued it, sanded it smooth, and then applied the patch over top like yours. I just received the 500-watt alternator kit from Rickey Stator to put on my 2007 Rhino(with 725mi) It looks really well made, I need more power. Great videos.

[@sixtyfiveford]

That's awesome. I'm pushing the limits of my alternator and probably need an upgrade. I noticed the voltage regulator was getting really hot when I was doing thermal imaging of the heater.

[@beecee1235]

You and your dog are a team. Love your videos. :)

[@notny411]

I really like all of the different shots - drone, drive-over-the-camera, Ginger footage. Content - always interesting and informational. Also like how you always post links to whatever you buy or use in your vids too! Your channel rocks!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Much appreciated!

[@Kookamungawerewolf]

I have a 2016 4010 mule I just installed Ice Crusher heater in. It was quite a job and required disassembly of whole front end to access everything. It works OK but if I had to do it again I would buy the 12 volt ceramic heater instead. My neighbor has a 2014 Teryx and I think the seats on it are the same as the Rhino. The sport UTV is a lot friendlier to accessorize and work in the dash/radiator area than the straight UTVs. My dog loves riding with me but he really likes my neighbor’s Teryx because it has bucket style seats!

[@AtimatikArmy]

I noticed your Gadsden flag! I wrote a follow up comment in response to yours where I asked how you like Utah on your last video. I'm just curious what you thought. But don't worry, I'm not moving anytime soon, I recently got a job working as a technitian for a company with solid team who is developing an atomous EVTOL (electric vertical take-off & landing) aircraft that hopefully will see reality a several years into the future... of course, we will see.

[@grampa_ahah]

Interesting read buddy. I followed the Moller Skycar for years. Guess they ran out of money. Does the team have a website or social channel to follow?

[@sixtyfiveford]

My comment was probably a little more harsh than I really feel. I thought about that later and sometimes I ramble/go off on a tangent. One of my friends of 20yrs is from Southern Cali and I like to give him crap all the time. The reality is businesses can't make it there and relocate. That puts tons of jobs here in Utah and that brings masses of people. Not really the peoples fault to go where the money and realistic cost of living is. I wish you the best and always enjoy like minded people no matter where they're from.

[@redneckbryon]

The heat is definitely a great idea, but having heat down by your feet would be a good idea. Ginger is a cool dog, you could make a channel with videos of just her.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Yeah, heat down by my feet and a defrost.

[@jameshedrick605]

I forget when i 1st came across your videos but i watched the one where you turned am old dryer into a shop heater and did one myself. Works great and now i have a warm shed to where i can replace the wheel bearings on my 4 wheeler when they come in

[@sixtyfiveford]

Hey Thanks.

[@zetamale7952]

Nice ideas! Going to get that couch protector. It's clear whereas the 6mil plastic I put on my mini ex is not so clear and the plexiglass on the skid steer is not that clear. The doors will work great on both my mini ex and skid steer to weather in. The heat. 🤯 Who woulda thunk! Ya. Heaters are expensive add ons but inexpensive like you did it. Yes. Another idea I'll be using. I use my skid steer to clear snow and that gets friggin cold.

[@justsomebody1100]

At the Chinamart they usta have rolls of the plastic sheet way thicker than that .. They had the thin stuff also . Was had used it for super thick table cover , to keep from messin up our good table cloth . would make good thick window very clear to look through

Awesome, I love the 453 and the VA6. Not the biggest fan of the Corvette looking ones.

[@Mikefngarage]

you definitely need a second vehicle to ride with you so in case you break down. Dont want to get stuck in that cold without a riding partner. First rule of off roading.....Love the tracks.

[@sixtyfiveford]

It's a well traveled area. This day I passed at least 6 others.

[@AC-oe5jc]

Really enjoy this, 99% of people are stuck in a box and just dont understand how things work, especially when you cant just buy a new "whatever" How do you find time to film/edit/post videos? Good on ya buddy, new subscriber!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Glad you enjoyed it! Filming editing takes a ton of time but I enjoy it. It forces me to do projects I would likely push off.

[@Oilyspanners7223]

Great ideas! I've used a very similar kind of sheet vinyl on a chicken coop windows, but I've found it to get brittle when it's real cold. May need to find some sheet plexiglass for next winter.

[@Rein_Ciarfella]

I noticed in an older video you’re using a JIS screwdriver. I recently acquired a set of JIS screwdrivers and a set of driver bits and I’ve decided it’s probably time to just retire most of my Phillips tools as the JIS are far superior for any style of cross-slot screws.

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍👍👍 Love it. Thanks

I thought you’d do some close Nieghbor hood testing of the trax but no you went all inn😂

[@sixtyfiveford]

I was hoping for 3 feet of snow to drive through.

[@megadwood18]

I was wondering if that rap that plastic wrap would heat up and shrink

[@Rein_Ciarfella]

Totally unconnected question: I was just researching CO alarms and reading about things that produce CO in the home. That reminded me of your genius clothes dryer/space heater build. Do you have a CO alarm in your workshop? If so, have you tested it and do you trust it? What model? Thanks, Moe! PS - Because of your clothes dryer video I've been thinking about converting a discarded electric dryer to a garage space heater because I'm already running several small electric heaters in the house and garage to keep the use of fuel oil as low as possible. I figure a clothes dryer might work better in (or vented to) the garage to heat up the space quickly and if I can modify the controls to have simply on/off and run it through a rheostatic controller maybe I can control the amount of heat and air coming out easily, turning it down when the garage is at a comfortable level. Thoughts? PPS - I and so many others really appreciate your builds, as you are certainly aware. I also really like your creativity in working out solutions by thinking outside the box. That's what I appreciate the most - helping me to have a clearer, larger perspective of what's possible with mostly standard tools, scraps and imagination.

[@DougAskin]

Snow track work well by the looks, nice neat job on the heat. I wonder how the tracks would go in the mud

[@sixtyfiveford]

Supposedly they do well in mud and sand. I've never witnessed it first hand though.

[@michaelbrinks8089]

I seen they made a snow track kit $350 for a motorized bicycle. Comes with 26in rear wheel track & front fork ski but it doesn't work good unless you have a powerful 2 stroke engine like 6+ hp on the bike. If you used a beefed up 100cc 4 stroke kit. That put out around 6+ HP that'd probably be enough. Since it'd have good torque also. I seen an old video of one that work very good. But I think it was mainly because the bike engine didn't have enough power. It'd make for a fun cheap winter time toy & TY video. Much cheaper than snow tracks for a dirt bike.

[@sixtyfiveford]

I saw one of those the other day on local classifieds. Looked really cool.

[@michaelbrinks8089]

@@sixtyfiveford If it worked good with a bigger engine. I think it'd be great for $350 since the attachment can be taken off fairly quickly & replaced with a wheel.

[@darrenfox5883]

Is there any mod you cannot do? Amazing!

[@richardclifton4120]

*"I would actually like shorter half doors. I feel too enclosed in the cab with both doors on"* I was reading your comments above and wondered why you don't have split-side windows that could fold down to the inside to allow both you and Ginger to stick your heads out and still keep the cab enclosed at the bottom? I do like the track mod and when you hit the muddy trails you will like them even more with closed doors.

[@sixtyfiveford]

I should have listened to my gut and just did half doors. Everyone online talks about fully enclosed cab and I thought that's what I needed.

[@Pjw350]

Awesome video! Keep up the awesome work!
