Ural motorcycle to ATV - part 2: deep snow drive

[@KastaRules]

I can imagine Jeremy Clarkson screaming POWER on top of his lungs while plowing through the snow in that thing.

[@jamescunliffe9872]

Tis but a question of traction!;-

[@TheHungrySlug]

@@SwapBlogRU Agreed. But now that you mention it, Vlad is the Garage54 equivalent of Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear, kind of. Now I need to know who fills the other equivalent rolls of Hammond and May, from the Garage54 crew?

[@SwapBlogRU]

You're very welcome

[@michelguevara151]

@@SwapBlogRU you need to make an earles or girder front end, with a driven wheel that has a largish section and cleated tyre, driving through the ski with a flat bottom boat shape, steers and drives, disengage when running in reverse. very big potential in this. wish I were there to help build this into a serious snow truck. a small car engine may help too, possible. the ski should be supported by the axle, this way it will want to push itself out of drift snow. brilliant idea, well executed. have a like!

[@eurogryphon]

The Ural is a reverse-engineered German BMW R71 motorcycle from WWII. Garage 54 took it and reverse-engineered the German Kettenkrad half-track motorcycle, also from WWII. This video is symmetry in action.

The ski is only mounted to the wheel, so it tilts backwards and digs its front into the snow. Tie the front of the ski to the fork, somewhere in the headlight area.

[@freddykreuger1371]

I laughed when he said during testing nothing fell off and then things started to fall off 😂😂😂😎

A flat cargo deck would turn that machine into a rather robust farm/ranch utility vehicle.

[@dangerousdoggo5465]

@@903strikerunit Sounds about right

[@mikeznel6048]

The ski needs some scags! Like a snowmobile ski, it needs it to drop below the flat surface of the ski.

[@texasslingleadsomtingwong8751]

Make your own tracks ?! No kidding ! Thats actually seriously impressive .

[@robertstratford9598]

I like the fact that you show your screw ups and how you fix them like the tires spinning in the tracks .

[@ginggur17]

Impressed with the track construction

[@richardparker3924]

Put a water ski or snowboard on the front wheel. See how it does then. Love the channel!

[@Stratotank3r]

This project was awesome and with so much snow to test and plow through! Next time build a tank out of scrap metal and two Lada engines ;-)

[@jamescunliffe9872]

Add two front wheels with torsion bar suspension but build off the arms pivot point on the opposite side to add a tensioner to take track slack! Use the handlebars to activate differential braking to turn? Add tall rubber blocks to gain traction!:)

[@UOTCbassist]

3:26 I love when no voiceover is needed

[@samham3408]

Great half track!.. Just needs independent left/right breaks like a tractor to do those sharp turns and better tracks to stop it digging into the snow. Still rules as is. Great job, love this project.

[@TravelAndEvangelism]

Nice Ural mod😃 Less snow is better for that thing😅 Here is idea for you Garage 54 makers, I will make anfibious car from my Samara after few years... Could you make your onwn version from that after few months?💥 Like your channel! But some times is hard to watch Lada destroying😅 I am a Lada lover, bought wery *unknown car Lada Granta years ago. Love that oldshool tecnic😍 *Unknown; Here in Finland😂 "I wish Covid free New Year 2021 to all readers!"

[@toddtellstrom8930]

You guys are VERY talented. Started watching your channel way back when you were working in small 1 car garage

[@Taluvian]

Bars on both sides and add strips of rubber down the middle. That would likely help with flotation on the snow. Also weld a V or two or three to the bottom of the ski to help with steering.

[@Cammi_Rosalie]

I want to see them make a Sherp out of a Lada.

[@jameswitte5167]

I like that the Ural has its own reverse gear and not just a reverse motor ...

[@blanchae]

The tracks are open and sink/dig into the snow. They need to be more solid so that they float on top of the snow.

[@ItsDaJax]

At some point any type of track is going to sink, especially light packed snow. Even a snocat can sink/plow through snow and they may have 2-4ft wide tracks.

[@natedogg1238]

The tracks are digging to much,maybe another flat,full track width belt with scoops or paddles would likely help. Keep up the awesome projects guys!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

[@FieroGT3400]

awsome! if i could suggest, there was to big open gaps in the tracks you used, if it were more closed with no where for the snow to leak through, i bet it would went right through that deep snow.

[@watchpath5019]

[@mindthependulum6245]

Sometimes these guys scare the crap out of me. Other times I smile a lot. Either way, its always fun to watch!

[@GiulioImparato]

You should make it such that (maybe with some kind of pushrods+brake system) by steering the front "wheel" you brake the track on the inside of the turn you are making .

[@drugtalk101]

Glad I got my fix of the HEAVY D WANNABE..! 😆😂🛺

[@darthgbc363]

Needs 3" tall paddles like a real Arctic Cat or Polaris for powder snow. Ski needs to be a bit smaller. Front & back should look the same. Cross section should be a a rod down the center. Turn the forks left & that's where the left flat part should level with the shop floor. And vice versa for the right side. Would be nice to have some roller blade wheels poking through the ski. Only a few inches front & back of center.

[@michaelhardeman6004]

I like the translator, vlad. He seems cool

[@SuperBadVideos]

Very cool build guys, it’s definitely one of my favorites you guys have done, can’t wait to see version 2.0 👍🏻🔥🤘🏻

[@iamzid]

hmm well snowmobile skis have a ridge down the center to allow for more aggressive steering. but ya, it definitely needs a transmission that spins in the same direction as the motorcycle output.

[@Ilsabug1]

I'm sure those URAL bikes are plentiful over there. But damn it was a cool bike. Still a really cool vid.

[@MikeGrayM70]

Urals are just freaking awesome! :)

[@AlienLivesMatter]

Rotational parts of the track and wheels need to be more lightweight. Perhaps an inch off each side. The tracks need serpinteen belt strips on the snow side to cover the metal strips and create additional traction points. Skid_steer style auxiliary rear brakes could help with turning at slow speed by reducing drive to one side or the other. And an extra long length exhaust should give more torque to turn the tracks at low rpm. All of which results in a pronounced performance improvement on and off snow.

[@galaxymaster]

I love stuff like this. Making a Ural go through everything is satisfiying as fuck

[@michelguevara151]

I build something like that 25 years ago :-) *love it!* fanx for the upload! edit : er, just the quike bit.. it never occured to make tracks.. noice!

you say it was hard to steer with that ski in the front. Look at a snowmobile ski...it has a bar going down the middle so when you turn, it will grip the snow and turn easier.
