Various restorations/projects from Bosnia

[selmir_Bosnia]

I still don't know the price, if i found it out i'll inform you all . Engine is 1 cyl, it has electric start. It's made in 1956. Some old guy bought it in 1990. used it some time, then the war in Bosnia started and he abandoned it. It's near his house, that's the only reasone why the gipsies haven't stolen it yet. Btw, they are very unpleasent people - the take every unsecured piece of metal they find. There were even few cases that they took whole big plows. Once i found 4 excelenet plows on a scrapcard, cut into two parts by a torch cutter.

Once, i found a whole tractor on a scrapyard. It was ancient Yugoslavian brand "Zadrugar" with 4 cyl diesele engine. He was stolen and sold for 500 euro. Luckily, some guy bought it and saved from being scraped.

I found some pictures of that tractor:

After long time, i'm back with new projects.


Here you can see ancient Simar 130 motorcultivator, wit 1cyl gasoline (2 takt) Sachs engine wit 10HP. I bought it for 75 EUR, have no idea if it works but it will be interesting to restore it.

The second thing i bought is old (but gold) Reform Rapid Rm 158 mower, wonderfull old thing, strong as hell. It works like a charm.

Here you can see my latest idea. I have some plans to build wood chipper.

Looks real good in context, but I suppose its not meant to be used as a garden ornament.... ....wood chips for fuel? Is it something you intend to put on the market or for personal use?

[selmir_Bosnia]

Nooo, it is not meant to be garden ornament!! I way playing with Catia rendering but my notebook is not powerfull enough to do that the right way. There is a lot of hedges (there is one sort of shrub, it grows up to 5cm in diameter and 2m in height and it grows incredibly fast - and there are literaly few square kilometers that are completely covered with that plant) here in my willage so my idea is to make this machine and cut that material to pieces, dry it using Sun and use it as a fuel for my home. As I said, there are thousand of tones of wood that is unusable the way it is - it is not possible to cut it to small pieces by hand (well it is but it would take ages to cut enough of it). Some people simply burn complete field that are grown with that plant in spring and that is shamefull waste of excelent fuel. If i succede and make this machine, I'll be able to clean at least small part of that sooil (that is now unusable) and to get large ammounts of completely clean and renewable.

[jörgen.ottosson]

I kind of guessed that... ( its not meant for the garden )

Seams like a god way to get rid of unwanted "weeds" and get some free heating while your at it. Do you intend to use it on site, while you cut 'em down, or at home, transporting the Wood uncut. (can see on your assembly that you have made it PTO-driven, do you think that you can use a conveyor (of some sort) to transport the wood-chips directly on to a cart/trailer, that is, if you intend to chip on site.

It would be cool as an ornament. Self I have a crane with grapple right in the middle of the lawn

Send cad files to me on PM if you want 'em rendered.

Just found much better solution on Youtube

You can see it is very well built, this machine is the real deal. I will try to make this type of machine becouse it it has less parts, it is very simple and should be quite cheaper to built. Only part I would have to buy are two big equal gears and one small gear (they all have to fit together!) but I believe I can find something like that on scrapyard. All other parts can be built from scrap parts. I will try to make some simple 3D model during weekend. Every suggestion I receive here is very useful so I'll post every step I make in manufacturing process. It will probably last quite long becouse i have fome financial problems at the moment.

@Magloman

I use only Catia, V5R21 at the moment, will send you 3D model. You will see it is far from perfect, it is very rougly designed becouse it is just an idea.

@Jorgen Ottosson

My idea is to use this machine on site (by tractor PTO) and to pack material in small bags, like the one that are used to pack potatoes (they are made of thin plastic mesh i believe) becouse those bags are easy to handle and wood can easily get dry. I also have one 2-takt gasoline engine with 10HP that can be used to power the machine or maybe electric engine too. My basic idea is to use tractor PTO - it woul be the easiest to cut material on site, transporting woul take too long and a lot of heavy labour. Becouse this cutters, especially the type I found (shown in video in this post) does not require a lot of power, I believe that diesel fuel consumption would be quite modest on my small tractor, IMT 539 (licenced copy od Massey Ferguson 135, built in former Yugoslavia).

And what doo we say about pictures here on maskinisten???

...to be continued

[selmir_Bosnia]

Here are some pictures of a new version. Much smaller and much simpler. This is version with electric engine but I plan to make one for tractor PTO.

So if I understand that version correctly it will jam shut if fed with material which diameter is larger than the height of the two knifes combined. Say the knife heigth is 4cm, then you won´t be able to feed larger stuff than 8cm through it. I guess the pto-axle needs a good overload clutch...

[selmir_Bosnia]

Yes, you are right, knife height (x2) is limiting the cutting diameter. I don't believe this type of the machine would be able to cut material with more than 8-10cm diameter so knifes should be at least 6cm, Overload clutch would be very good idea in every case, for safety reasons.
