- Almost done! Got it far enough along to see if it will move or not. Just a few things left to do before taking it on it's first test run! So far, I'm really happy at the way this is turning out!!

First! I had to see this!
Ha! Good morning!!
Muskrat Outdoors - Making something like this can make you feel like a kid again.
@@logicaredux5205 That's for sure! I've always like to make things, but this is a first. If it works out well enough, I might make another a little smaller. I think shorter would be a little better to turn.
Oh yeah !
A country boy can survive !
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
Ha!! I like that song!!
You've got me hooked on the Snodog for sure.
🙏👊
Great! They are a really neat idea. Even bought new, factory made, they are a lot less money than a snowmobile. Some models fit in the trunk of a car also. I wonder how it will be in deep powder snow, it might just burrow under it, but I think it will work in most snow conditions.
Great work should be able to take you anywhere cant wait to see next part thanks for sharing brother 🤛👍🐺 til next time stay warm and safe
Thanks! I'll have the test run in the morning tomorrow. A few things left to work out, but I think it will work pretty well.
Great job. Can't wait to see it completely done.
Tomorrow Morning!
HELLYAH MUSKRAT!!! You made its first TRACKS, Toosweet...
It moved!!! That's a huge plus!
That’s a dandy machine! I’m impressed. Well done Gary!
Thank you very much!
That thing is so cool! I have never seen one b4! Thanks for sharing w us!! You are a great craftsman I love your ingenuity!!
Thank you very much! It has been kind of fun to build. I'm tempted to build another after I figure out what problems I can change and make better. I saw my first one about 2 years ago, and wanted one.
Sorry Late been not filling to well Love your videos my friend God Bless you are the Man
Thanks Mary. I hope you are feeling better soon. No fun being sick.
That things turned out to be real neat
Thank you! So far, I'm pretty happy with it. I need to change a few things, but mostly it's working!
Well you know it works, Brother! Great job. Looking forward to part 5!
Tomorrow! Just need to finish editing it. I'm happy with it so far, but there are a few bugs to work out still.
@@MuskratOutdoors , there always is a few bugs on the first built model. Definitely been an interesting series of vids!
@@thecamocowboyoutdoors5693 Thanks! It's been kind of fun to do too.
Muskrat, that is awesome! One idea I had after you said that it could be a little tipsy (top heavy) that maybe you could add a very basic roll cage around the motor to protect it in case it does roll. That might make the difference between walking back and riding back on one of your excursions. Can’t wait till the handle bars!
I think so too. Sooner or later, it will tip over. I sure don't want to break anything like the carburetor off! The factory made ones all have a hood of some sort over them.
You are one handy fellow .. looks good .. looking forward to see it finished
Thank you very much! It's been pretty fun really.
Almost there, cannot wait to see the complete one with handle bar. Great job!
Thanks! Got it done now!!
😎 AWESOME!!!
Good Morning! Thank you!! It's getting close now!
WOW alright Praise The LORD that is going to be a neat machine I think you can safely say it is going to work at this point Good Job thanks for the videos GOD Bless You
I hope so! I still haven't tried pulling a second sled with traps in it yet.
Good stuff muskrat, glad to see the progress.
Thank you Tim. This thing is going to work! It's not real loud either. Those wolves won't know what to think when they see this thing coming!
Looks good! Mr coon probably thinks your trying to slow cook him putting him by the fire like that!😂
Ha! Probably so! He was sure happy to get out of that cage!
Pretty damn cool!!!! 👍😊
Thank you very much!!
@@MuskratOutdoors Yvw! 😊
Here we go!! One step closer! Looking good Gary! Do you already have the sled to tow behind?
Thanks!! Yes I do. I need to build a tow bar though.
That's really cool! Awesome! The diamond plate on the deck made me smile))) Honestly, I have been a bit concerning at the moment when you did engaging the clutch for the first time. I thought the snow dog was going to get away from you))) Well done!
Me too! I was just happy it actually moved!!
Oh yeah I love it when a plan comes together,even if it ain't my plan
It's really coming together now!!
Heck yes it moves out pretty good it seemed. Hard on the knees I'm sure it was. Looking forward to the next update.
Ha! Yeah that was painful! Sitting on it wasn't as bad. Zero spring suspension on it. The track belt has sat for a long time. I think it was a 1970's snowmobile, and had gotten stiff. I was worried it wouldn't turn, but so far, so good!
Awesome ❣
Thank you Joy!
Yes sir... Only problem I see is I'm not there to try it out...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 but looks like you got that part covered pretty good....Man I like this thing right here....
Dang, it would be fun to have you here!!
@@MuskratOutdoors Truth
Thats a pretty good build dude nice work 👌🏻
Thank you very much. It's been pretty fun to do.
That is so cool it is turning out great!
Thanks Grampy. I like it so far!
Loosen the chains and add a spring loaded chain tensioner on each chain. That will relieve the tress on both the engine and the jack shaft.
I think I need to do that. The chain bounces too much. If it was snug with a tensioner, I think it would be getter.
Wow, That is a really Cool buggy. Are you going to drive, or haul it to the mountain? You could build a ramp to load up in the pick up. Looks Great, Hold On. 🦊
Thank you! A little of both. I can drive it right from the house, but there's some other places I want to go too.
Not bad!
Thank you! Thank you also for your advice!!
The thing is super cool
Thank you!!
I’m thinking it may not be an issue if there is flex in your engine mount. An auto has rubber mounts and flexes noticeably when you put a load on it.
I'm not sure either. It moves, but not a lot. I did put a piece of rubber belting under the engine and that might be part of the reason? I guess I'll try it like it is awhile and see if it is a problem or not.

Sweet
Thank you!!
I would have run that diamond plate the full length of the sled and then mount the motor on.
It needs to be able to slide though to adjust the chain tension.
Your little buddy make a good hat
SHE DOES!! She didn't like it at first, but now I think she has as much fun as I do!
very cool also go ahead turn him in to a hat lol hes asking for it
Thanks! Ha! Yeah that was an onery raccoon! He ended up getting turned loose down the river road. Raccoons are barely selling for anything right now.
I thought only my parents drank natural ice 😋😋
Not ice, that stuff is nasty tasting and much too strong. This is just Natural Light.....pretty low alcohol content, but good flavor.
@@MuskratOutdoors Haha! I actually did mean "light" they use to drink Milwaukee beast!
@@chickenscursandacabin Good! I was hoping your folks didn't like that ices stuff! HA! That stuff is pretty awful!
@@MuskratOutdoors yes I think it's hobo beer lol.
Snow dog looks awesome! I loved seeing Lilly riding along with you too!
@@chickenscursandacabin Haw!! HOBO BEER!!! I like that!! Wait until I tell my friend that drinks it!! Thank you! Lilly wasn't really sure she liked it, but she rode along!
How many tooth gear you using on the bottom
I'm not positive, but I think its 32. It's maybe 5 inches or so around? I'll try to remember and count tomorrow.
@@MuskratOutdoors thank you. I’m building one also but I think I’m going to use the snowmobile chain box but not sure yet
@@erictyner2162 I probably would have except I had already bought those other parts. I saved them....who knows, maybe I'll make another one.
What part of Idaho you in? You might not be to far from me
@@erictyner2162 Salmon. East central, not far from Montana. Where are you?
