Tuning MTZ: 82, 80, do it yourself, large cabin, small, how to remake the steering, stove

Installing a dispenser on an old-style MTZ 82

The main difficulties when installing the dispenser on tractors of the earliest production MTZ 82 (80) is fastening the bracket for the hydraulic cylinder to the bridge beam in the absence of installation space. The network shows the experience of practitioners from several options for solving this problem using clamps on the beam or direct welding of the bracket.

Bracket on the bridge beam

The most acceptable solution that ensures a reliable connection is the following technology, which is feasible under normal plumbing conditions:

A place is marked for a platform for attaching the bracket to a beam of the appropriate size for the contact plane of the part. The measurement is carried out by applying a hydraulic cylinder with the rod extended to the middle position (100 mm), provided that the edge of the rod is connected to the rotary lever in the straight position of the wheels and the symmetrical reach of the left and right axle axles of the bridge relative to the axis of movement of the tractor. In this case, the location for the connection area between the bracket and the bridge is determined by the coincidence of the eye of the second edge of the hydraulic cylinder with the hole of the bracket. The matching hole must match the installed bridge track. It should be taken into account that, in the case of a minimum track set, the cylinder is connected to the rightmost hole of the bracket (along the path of the tractor), with a maximum track to the far left.
Having determined the location of the platform by attaching the cylinder and bracket to the bridge beam, they begin to prepare it. To ensure the connection of a flat part, it is necessary to bring the semicircular surface of the bridge beam as close as possible to the flat one by surfacing the metal with electric arc welding and subsequent surface treatment with a grinder grinder wheel.
After obtaining a more or less flat surface, prepare a tire from a sheet of steel with a thickness of 15 -20 mm corresponding to the contact area of the bracket of the size. The holes on the tire are marked and drilled using the holes in the bracket. Cut the appropriate threads for the four bracket mounting bolts and adjust the diameter of the two threadless holes for the pins.
At the final stage, the manufactured part is applied to the prepared welded area on the bridge beam and welded with a seam along the perimeter with maximum observance of the level of the horizontal position of the tire plane. Thus, a flat platform will be created for a tight fit and reliable connection of the bracket to the bridge without the use of milling.

Tuning the cabin of MTZ 80, 82

All changes inside the tractor are carried out to improve comfort in the cab. In modifications of tractors produced quite a long time ago, there are no such convenient devices as a radio tape recorder, additional lighting, or a navigation system.

Additional devices are easy to find on sale. This significantly expands the possibilities of tuning the MTZ 80 cabin in terms of using diodes in the lighting, installing a comfortable seat, and tinting the windows.

Improving vehicle performance

One of the most popular areas of internal tuning of a tractor is improving the cross-country ability and traction parameters of the machine.

An interesting option is the installation of a GAZ-66 bridge. When carrying out such work, it should be taken into account that:

It will be necessary to manufacture an intermediate gearbox that ensures transmission of revolutions;
To attach it to the tractor, you need to weld a special bushing to the bridge;
The gearbox of the main pair of the new bridge needs to be shortened so that it stands in the center.

In any case, it is better to trust such work to specialists. Timely maintenance helps maintain the power of tractor equipment. It is possible to increase power by replacing the turbine or the entire engine with a more powerful one.

Often, when tuning MTZ, it pays to install the best units from other tractors of the brand.

But these works will have to be legalized by registering with the authorized bodies. Also keep in mind that the price of a “remodel” may be comparable to the cost of a new car.

Necessary materials

To make a homemade snow blower yourself, you need not only basic knowledge in welding and turning, but also some tools, which are quite difficult to do without .

Here is a list of what we will need:

Keys of various diameters.
Bolts and nuts (it is better to collect all available ones to make it easier to navigate in the future).
Electric drill.
Bulgarian.
Screwdrivers of all types and sizes that are in stock.
Pliers, vices and pliers.
A regular hammer and file.
Various chains.
Welding machine.

As we can see, you will have to use almost the entire arsenal that most men have. It’s better to prepare everything in advance so that you don’t have to look for the right tool or screwdriver of the required size later.

Regarding materials, we will need a metal profile pipe with a cross section of 20 by 40 mm . A profile corner with the same parameters is also suitable for the frame base.

How to remodel a stove

The modification of the stove consists of increasing the tightness of the housing, since part of the air flow goes past the heat exchanger. The new casing is made of thin metal sheet. There are pipes for supplying warm air to the tractor driver’s feet and to the windshield. The inlet hole is covered with a shield with slots. This allows you to reduce the amount of dust drawn into the cabin. The end edges of the radiator are covered with a layer of insulating material, thereby reducing heat losses. The joints of the body parts are welded, which reduces the repairability of the unit.

The standard valve loses its seal during operation - tractor drivers are forced to work on the machine in the summer with the heat exchanger of the stove turned on. A new valve eliminates the problem, but after several cycles of use the leak appears again. The modernization consists of installing an additional ball-type valve, which allows you to regulate the intensity of liquid flow through the heat exchanger.

Instructions

It’s worth mentioning right away that to make a homemade snow blower you will have to do a little work on a lathe , adjusting the metal parts you have to the desired size.

If you don’t have one, then you can go with the drawings to the nearest turning workshop, where they will make the necessary parts for you at a very reasonable price.

Now you can start making a snow blower. This process can be divided into several stages:

Making a screw.
Manufacturing of a rotary mechanism.
Installation of the casing (bucket).
Manufacturing of the housing frame.

Making a screw

The basis of any auger is a metal shaft on which snow-grabbing elements are located . For the shaft, you can use a regular metal pipe with two journals at the ends. For gripping elements, 8 steel half-discs are suitable.

Their thickness must be at least 2 mm. Screw elements are made from them , which are subsequently welded to a metal shaft.

As a material for the rotating elements, you can use a conveyor belt having a thickness of 1 cm. We will need about 2 meters of such material. Four rings are cut from this tape, the diameter of which must be at least 28 cm.

In order for the desired auger to rotate, you need to use bearings No. 205 of a closed type so that the snow cover does not get into them.

How to make a rotary mechanism for a device

To manufacture the rotor, a metal sheet with a thickness of no more than 3 mm (2.5 mm is possible) is used . We will also need an electric jigsaw with an attachment for cutting metal, as well as a regular compass. If you don’t have a jigsaw, then you can use a grinder with an appropriate attachment for metal.

We take a sheet on which, using a compass, we draw a circle of the required diameter (in this case, this diameter will be about 3-3.2 cm). Next, cut out this circle with a grinder. Everything must be done extremely carefully, because the performance of the future snow blower will depend on your efforts.

The next step is to install the unit in the center, which will secure the rotor mechanism to the hub. You can simply weld the axle , or make a hole in the center of the required diameter for the bolt.

It is important to understand that homemade analogues are unlikely to differ from factory accuracy, so it is worth using more powerful bearings that can withstand rotor runout.

Next, you need to weld the blades that will rake snow to the resulting circle. You need at least four such blades with the same distance from each other. They are also made of metal.

Making a snow blower body with your own hands

The frame of the case is made of a metal corner measuring 5x5 cm . It is necessary to weld other corners measuring 2.5×2.5 cm to the transverse corners. The entire structure should be secured with M8 bolts.

Completing the assembly of the electric snow blower

Our snow blower is almost ready. Now we need to put together all the components that we made before.

A shaft with screw elements must be mounted on the rotor . This mechanism is attached to the housing frame using a clamping ring and several bolts. The rotor itself is attached to the frame using a special bracket.

A regular sewer pipe can be used as an outlet chute if there are no other options. For example, if we make a rotary snow blower for the MTZ tractor with our own hands, then we need to use components welded from a metal sheet.

But for a manual snow blower, a plastic pipe is quite suitable .

Alternative heating blocks for the MTZ tractor

When it is necessary to provide heating for the tractor cabin in the absence of a standard heating unit, or for additional heating, universal stoves designed for the cabins of trucks, tractors and special vehicles are successfully used. technology.

Heater in the MTZ 82 cabin with an air duct

There are many offers of this equipment on the market. With the exception of the geometric shape of the housing and the power of the unit, the heaters have an identical flow principle of operation. And just like in standard tractor stoves, heating is carried out by a radiator heated by the diesel cooling system. The intensity of the warm air supply is provided by the device’s built-in fan. Choosing a stove for MTZ consists of determining the model of suitable power and body shape for convenient location of the unit in the cabin.

The installation location of the unit is determined based on ensuring optimal distribution of heated air, individual preferences and interior conditions in the cabin. Often the stoves are placed on the right side between the dashboard and the doors. In older tractors, it is convenient to place the stove, if there is space, under the driver’s seat. The distribution of warm air flows is achieved by additionally equipping the stove with air ducts or using a cabin fan.

Useful tips and warnings for operating a homemade rotary snow blower

The main problem with all snow blowers, whether home-made or store-bought, is the ingress of foreign objects into the running engine. To avoid this, you can use special safety bolts in the structure.

In addition, it would be advisable to use closed type bearings , which will prevent snow from getting inside the housing.

To make a homemade snow blower, you need to use lightweight materials. That is why it is recommended to use not very thick sheets of metal for the frame, otherwise the whole structure will turn out to be very bulky.

Of course, it will be very reliable and durable, but it will be very difficult to control, especially if you remove large amounts of snow.

Of course, it would be optimal to combine a homemade snow blower with a walk-behind tractor , but this device is not available on all farms. A Viking motor cultivator is perfect as a basic unit.

Half-track and 8-wheel tractor

An effective means of increasing the cross-country ability of tractors of the MTZ family is to install on them a so-called “half-track”, which consists of two rubber-metal tracks and two sets of tensioning devices. The caterpillar, in turn, covers the drive wheels, as well as installed additional tension wheels.

The half-track installation looks like this:

A balancer with a tension wheel is assembled.
The drive and guide wheels of the tractor are installed on the track.
The tractor step is removed.
Tensioners are installed.
Spring shock absorbers are located.
The half-track tension wheels are installed to the track size, which must be equal to the track of the tractor wheels.
The tracks are stretched by lugs onto the ground so that the location of the bosses on them coincides with the direction of the tread pattern of the tires of the driving wheels of the tractor.
The wheels are covered with tracks.
The tire pressure of the tractor wheels is checked (it should be 0.137 MPa for the rear wheels and 0.216 MPa for the tension wheels) and the track tension is adjusted.

8-wheel tractor MTZ-3522

Another option to increase the tractor's maneuverability and reduce its pressure on the ground is to convert the equipment to an eight-wheel base. This modification is best carried out in a specialized center.

Steering tuning

Sometimes experts recommend carrying out work such as remaking the MTZ-82 steering, in other words, putting the steering column of an agricultural vehicle in order. Sometimes modifications to the MTZ-82 tractor steering column end with its adjustment so that the steering wheel is in a comfortable position.

However, for a number of craftsmen this does not end there; altering the steering makes working on the tractor more convenient. Remaking the MTZ steering column will require some skills and a fairly significant amount of time, but the result will exceed all expectations. The stove takes approximately the same time, namely the process of its conversion.

The same applies to the modification of the turbocharger and the modernization of the MTZ-80 in terms of providing it with special nozzles for the dispenser.

Hello dear forum users. I am the proud owner of an MTZ-80. I propose in this topic to post photos and descriptions of all the alterations to your machine, starting from alterations of the tractor itself, ending with the tools for it.

Doesn't anyone want to show off their tractor?

master, why do you need such a big receiver?

yes it seems standard.

But we’ve already gone through this, Diphenhydramine will confirm

Hi all. Traditional tractor races took place in Rostov-on-Don yesterday. It was there that the MTZ-80 and MTZ-82 were pumped up

Master, your idea is not new, but you did not take into account that you have an MTZ-80, not an 82, and you will not be able to use the added “horses”.

In addition, MMZ turbocharged diesel engines have a different block, pistons, etc., and the use of a turbocharger, which was not justified in the first place, will only reduce the engine’s service life!

And the turbine should have been used in size 6 to reduce turbo lag.

Thus, I would recommend that you return to the standard engine configuration - it is both better and cheaper!

And the fact that, judging by the G-273 generator, you converted the car to 24 V is good, what kind of starter do you have?

Hello forum users! I am from Krasnodar region, Armavir city. My father has been farming the land for 22 years. We recently bought an MTZ 952. I thought that the cabin was missing the necessary things: for example, shelves! (for little things) I made several options for shelves and chose the optimal one! and to share I found this site, I think my thoughts will be useful to someone)))

Good day everyone! Sorry that the question may be off topic, but where can I find such a spark arrester?

If you need to make a direct spark arrester, take a gas 53 cardan that works very well. For tractors with turbocharging!!

Hello. How to make a fuel level sensor on an MTZ 80 produced in 1986, has anyone done it?))

go to the nearest bush, cut off the stick and measure it. In the transport position it is between the tanks - you can put it under the tank clamp. Believe me, it’s the most reliable and trouble-free indicator. Well, if you have nowhere to put the money and want to have an extra arrow in front of your eyes, take a set from any car - gas, UAZ device and sensor in the tank. You just have to make a float lever like on your own tank - adjust the length. It is in the right tank. https://fermer.ru/forum/rtm-remontno-traktornaya-masterskaya/110391

Master, your idea is not new, but you did not take into account that you have an MTZ-80, not an 82, and you will not be able to use the added “horses”.

And the turbine should have been used in size 6 to reduce turbo lag.

Thus, I would recommend that you return to the standard engine configuration - it is both better and cheaper!

Yes, the turbine on a regular 240 is not very good. Both MTZ-52 and MTZ-82.1 with a turbine will pull the plow approximately the same way. And the realization of power depends on which implement is hanging on the PTO: the same 52 and 82.1 with a KIR or KPI turbine will pull differently. And the presence of PVM will no longer be important.

Dear tractor, at least give me a flash - you'll kill me, boy! 1 bottle for 3, 4.20 each Everything sticks from the abundant lubrication How do you like this, Elon Musk?

Assembly steps

It is necessary to connect the chassis with wheels to the frame and install the engine. It is recommended to install front-wheel drive. In this case, the walk-behind tractor will have greater maneuverability, and when driving uphill there will be less chance of slipping, since the grip on the ground will be better.
After installing the drive, a steel plate is welded to the rear surface of the frame, on which the seat and steering wheel will be installed. Then the steering wheel is connected to the chassis to control the MTZ mini tractor.
The next step is to remove all control levers for the mini tractor. They must be in accordance with the kinematic diagram presented earlier.

It is necessary to further consider the location of the battery and headlights in the mini tractor. Thanks to the battery, you can install a car ignition; it is more reliable in winter, when it gets cold outside and the Belarusian engine does not start the first time.
Headlights are connected to the generator; they will allow you to work in the evening.
It is also recommended to protect the wheels with mud flaps, since when driving through mud at speed, it will fly abundantly in different directions.
The point of operation of a mini tractor is in the attachments, so you should carefully consider the moment with its connection. To do this, the power take-off shaft must be extended and located behind the machine.

Brakes

Any car must have a braking system in order to stop or reduce speed. A homemade tractor is no exception here. Disc brakes are often easier to use because they are easier to install, easier to maintain, and have simpler design parameters.

The classic braking system consists of brake cylinders, lines, elements acting on the brake discs (pads) and the brake discs themselves, which are rigidly connected to the wheels.

Engine tuning and technical parameters

Each tractor has its own characteristics, and the engine must be looked at from different angles. Tuning MTZ-40 will be radically different from tuning MTZ-3022 or MTZ-892. Usually, alterations affect the insides of the power plant, that is, its basic properties are revised. The MTZ-50 diesel engine can receive a methane supplement. This makes it possible to reduce diesel fuel consumption and replace it with natural gas by 80%.

As an option, for tuning the MTZ-1221, in relation to the engine, technical inspections and repairs are considered if necessary and when the scheduled inspection is due. Some tractor drivers decided that a complete change in the power plant would suit them and opted for more powerful engines. In practice, one can trace the tendency that installing a power unit taken from other special equipment at MTZ is the most correct solution when you want to improve technical performance, and you can get by with minor alterations.

But such an upgrade can be expensive - the new engine will need to be properly registered and obtain a work permit. Sometimes the amount is so exorbitant that it is easier to use it to purchase a new, more powerful and modern tractor.

During the conversion of the MTZ-82 tractor to the MTZ, a special device is often installed, which makes it possible to significantly increase the power of the power plant. This function is performed by the turbine at MTZ. Sometimes it’s worth resorting to a trick and taking elements of other tractors (for example, the MTZ-80 cab) and tuning the MTZ-82 or any other Belarusian tractor.

Among the main technical parameters that are being improved is the tractor's cross-country ability. There are several ways to improve different models, including the MTZ-892 tuning operation:

Installation of middle wheels, due to which the tractor begins to move not on 4 wheels, but on 8. This makes it possible to increase the area of interaction between the wheels and the soil, and the tractor becomes more stable.
Half-track installation. Used for the same purpose as the previous method. It involves the installation of rubber-metal tracks that work simultaneously with tension devices. The tractor begins to exert less pressure on the soil and can work in marshy areas.

Important Height and technical characteristics of the Belarusian BelAZ dump truck

Sometimes remaking the MTZ-80 involves replacing the axle, which is taken from the GAZ-66. But the procedure is very difficult to carry out on your own; it is recommended to seek help from specialists in the field of repair of agricultural machinery so that the modification is carried out professionally.

Choice

According to their design, gasoline snow blowers can be of several types :

screw type;
rotary;
mixed type.

For making at home, the best option is considered to be a rotary snow blower . There are several reasons for this:

More efficient snow removal, because the unit uses not only the auger itself, but also a rotor (rotary snow blowers are also called “auger-rotary”).
Sufficiently high mobility and excellent performance.
Rotary snow blowers are quite powerful, which makes it possible to use them even in the snowiest areas and territories.

A snow blower of this type is capable of pushing snow over a fairly long distance - up to 12 meters , depending on the engine used.

For more information about rotary snow blowers, watch the videos below:

Using an electric motor may be more advisable (see about electric snow blowers), when the area to be cleared is not very large, then you can ask the question - how to make an electric rotary snow blower yourself, using an air-cooled electric motor and handy tools?

But many years of experience show that the choice should be made on internal combustion engines, which, although more demanding to operate, can perform a much larger volume of work over a larger area.

And the absence of a cord, which significantly limits the working space, adds arguments in favor of a gasoline engine.

If you have various auxiliary equipment, then the question of finding a suitable engine disappears altogether. For example, you can make a rotary snow blower for a walk-behind tractor with your own hands, the drawings of which are quite widely distributed on the Internet.

The walk-behind tractor, in this case, acts as a working motor that moves the entire structure.

MTZ-80.82 Tuning Cabin, steering, how to remake the stove

The idea of combining diesel and gas is far from new. For several years now, companies have been operating in our country that, for a fee, supplement diesel engines with gas cylinder units.

However, these companies mostly work with automobile engines (dump trucks, tractors and various cargo vehicles). However, a tractor can also be converted, eventually replacing up to 80% of diesel fuel with natural gas.

First, we install the gas supply system to the engine, install all the necessary sensors, install the injection reducer and electromagnetic gas injectors.
Then we install a suitable diesel fuel supply limitation system. It all depends on the type of motor. So, for example, an electronic actuator is installed on engines with a mechanical fuel pump, and on engines with electronically controlled fuel systems we install a special control unit that limits the supply of diesel fuel.

The advantages of the gas-diesel modification are obvious:

Diesel fuel saving.
The time of using the tractor without refueling is almost doubled.
Safe to use.
Increased engine overhaul period.

Half-track and 8-wheel tractor

The half-track installation looks like this:

A balancer with a tension wheel is assembled.
The drive and guide wheels of the tractor are installed on the track.
The tractor step is removed.
Tensioners are installed.

Spring shock absorbers are located. The half-track tension wheels are installed to the track size, which must be equal to the track of the tractor wheels. The tracks are stretched by lugs onto the ground so that the location of the bosses on them coincides with the direction of the tread pattern of the tires of the driving wheels of the tractor. The wheels are covered with tracks. The tire pressure of the tractor wheels is checked (it should be 0.137 MPa for the rear wheels and 0.216 MPa for the tension wheels) and the track tension is adjusted.

8-wheel tractor MTZ-3522

Installation of the GAZ-66 bridge at MTZ

Another tuning option aimed at improving the MTZ’s cross-country ability, as well as its traction characteristics, is the installation of a GAZ-66 axle

This type of alteration is extremely complex, so we strongly advise you to carefully study this issue on the Internet, and when working directly, pay attention to the following points:

To transmit speed, it will be necessary to make an intermediate gearbox.
A bushing should be welded to the bridge to secure it to the tractor.
The drive can be supplied from some 150-horsepower MTZ (if, for example, you install a GAZ bridge on the 82nd Belarus).
If the gearbox of the main pair of GAZ-66 extends beyond the width of the tractor, then it is better to shorten it. So it will stand in the center, like at the MTZ bridge.

Ways to increase the power of MTZ tractors

As obvious as it may seem, one of the main ways to, if not increase, then at least maintain the power of any tractor is to carry out timely maintenance and repairs - do not forget about this.
