Real nice machine. These have Differential steering. As you discribed a brake band stops one track and the power then goes to the other track that is still turning. Those Chrysler flatheads are actually a good motor. Parts are still available at most auto parts stores. Looks like alot of fun!!!
That’s funny I was looking at those and I knew they were gonna break. They looked flimsy metal was real thin and on top of it cast iron in the cold as well, so very brittle
Wow, what a machine. I should have guessed it was made by Bombardier! That Chrysler engine, is it a V8? it sounds good, more like an aircraft engine. Cant wait to see some vids of it working. Paint it Kawasaki green. Cheers
@@PowerModzOfficial I'm glad to know your new workshop is ready, I can't wait to see this. I take a lot of inspiration from you and powermodz, it sounds groupie but you help people a lot to make their own modification, on my side with chanel tazmonster I work the best I can to help people in the same way, but in French . I hope one day we may be able to meet, but I will have to improve my English.
You're machine looks very similar to the international Rescue Thunderbird's Recovery Vehicle 1 from the 1970's episode Pit of Peril. Two of these machines Pulled up and out of a deep sink hole a 500 ton Walking killing machine from the us army failed test.
I have a question, I was watching one of your old videos where you were tearing down a seized Honda 3 wheeler engine, 250 I think. Anyways I have a 84 trx200 and the jug looks identical to my son’s 82 Xr 200, I cannot find a new jug for his bike but I can for the trx was wondering if you knew if they interchanged.
Hey man, I don't know if these machines are around but you should check out the Ski Doo Elite 1500, it's supposedly a SxS snowmobile lol. Looks so goofy with the dual tracks
Hey I just bought a 07 mxz 440x with a 800 in it. Do you know how to identify these engines? I’d like to know what it is for future maintenance. Guy I bought it off didn’t know.
I have a better design to couple the machine to the trailer. Edit: I forgot to mention. It didn't sound like a Chrysler slant six, nor did it sound like a ford inline that I have seen in these. Im going to your other channel and hopefully you have a view of the engine compartment as I am curious! lol
@@PowerModzOfficial just watched but now do you recommend that year and model? If not I’m thinking about getting a Yamaha nytro if the 06 mxz renegade 800ho isn’t very reliable
@@mrtundranutz1 oki see, ya that's sad for sure....lots of thinking ahead with old machinery. My old Clark skidder had no brakes...had to use the blade to stop it. This j5 will be getting a blade for sure too.
terrible approach and departure angles. that's unfortunate. Expanded sheet metal for the front would be good to prevent brush and branches from impaling you from the front whenever jump romping around in the woods :D Don't pull a 4+ wheeled equipment with a tracked equipment as tracks will eventually flip the wheeled equipment on a tight turn or tight reverse. Looks like a hobbled together hydraulic steering system. Looks very like it would be easy to break on a twist /watch?v=EObOUb3g86I /watch?v=BciSdXIKCRo Check these videos out for a more hardier design
I agree, the front plow mount im cutting off tomorrow, we will weld a new blade mount in the proper spot...it does need a blade for our bush. Agreed on the mesh as well. Ya the hydraulic system is pretty lame - going to see if I can attach a pump to the main engine.
@@PowerModzOfficial hydraulic steering isn't really necessary unless if you're needing really tight turns between trees. You don't really need a hydraulic steering at all if the roads you're taking to pull things are decently straight or wide enough. Just put the chains as turning radius limiters instead, it'll pull like any other trailer
Well that looks like the most fun you can have with your clothes on!!
Definitely a powermodz unit. Love it! Man the young lad has really shot up.
Oh bud you wanna believe it.

7:26 so happy, 2 hats on and everything 😂
lol, I was waiting for that
Nice rig! My mushing club uses a 1980’s DMC, delorean manufacturing company, thiokol imp 1450 to groom the trails
Also, you need to gas that old plow harness off the front. Justs hangs you up it seems. Cool machine!
Yup - its gone now!
One of those is on my motorized bucket list
A short custom welded 2 wide ski sled behind it to drop the winched in log ends on and it'll be a cool winter skidder!
The J5! Can't wait to see more videos of that tank working away, i'll definitely be tuning in as usual
Ty for the info in the video info 👍
I see this and just immediately start thinking of ways to build a grooming skid to be towed behind it. lol
Uh, yes please. That is an awesome machine!
I know what I want for Christmas now!
We own a j 5 and a j 3. Awesome machines. Yours appears to be in a little better shape, our winch runs off of the crank shaft.
Id like that winch!
kool little tank well built
If it was easier to get into I would say that's a great vehicle for my dad to go Morel Mushroom hunting. He doesn't get around as well as he once did
Very cool love to see more footage of that beast
More coming on my other channel!
Paint it bombi yellow. Awesome machine,also on my want list!
Good choice!
J- 5 it’s in the 50 because it’s front and 3 speed transmission. I’ll be drive them from a kid and still to this day .
That’s funny I was looking at those and I knew they were gonna break. They looked flimsy metal was real thin and on top of it cast iron in the cold as well, so very brittle
I wounder how many times a year i say just the same "i always wanted one of those" 🤣🤣😜😜👍👍
That thing is sick.
Love these videos but he doesn't make enough of them.
All my vids like that will be on my rolling up my sleeves channel =- everyone got mad at me for making non snowmobile videos on powermodz
That’s actually pretty sick man! Cool find!
Nice new tank. Think you get some some more hp with a powermodz sticker and a jet engine.
very cool
Great now I want one 💯👍🤣🤣🤣
I can understand you "always wanting" one of those. Sweet old machine.
You got that right!
That thing is so cool. Is it air cooled or water cooled it has a huge fan
that thing is awesome!
it's nice, not too loud !
That is pretty badass.
Totally
The break bands "some sorta friction material" I think that's asbestos. Great vid bud, keep up the good work.
The original probably yes.
@@PowerModzOfficial That's a nice lookin rig you got there, with the trailer. I could see that being way handy around our neck of the woods as well.
You need to go up to the ice roads with the tank
im going to!
Hi ! Is there any power on the trailer ? Or just free tracks follow ?
That thing could use a V8!! Maybe 2jz? Chevy LS small block? Green? Great vids too!!
That would be cool!
Cool toy
That’s a cool machine thing needs a blade rigged up to the front
It's coming!
Those beaver dams won’t stand a chance!
Not sure if the "tank" and or the trailer have individual brakes like a tractor. If so, when turning hold the inside break on the tank and or trailer!
just the tank does...that's why I want the ram steering.
Wow, what a machine. I should have guessed it was made by Bombardier! That Chrysler engine, is it a V8? it sounds good, more like an aircraft engine. Cant wait to see some vids of it working. Paint it Kawasaki green. Cheers

I like that green idea
Hi Louis, I hope you are doing good. I would like to know when you will start your sled video season.
See ya .
Have a good season.
just about done my new shop!

saweet. hook up a choker to it, let the boy skid out some trees with that thing.
Working on it.
always take the words outta my mouth. like they say great minds think alike.

Ya I know of them - might be one in my future
Doesn't sound like a slant 6, looks like a tight fit for one anyway.
Ya it's not a slant 6 its a flat head 6
Id let ya take me out for dinner in that!
You got a bad u joint
Сначала подумал что хонда 13 сил везет но по звуку не она она для поворота телеги?
I had one of those
Sherp been kinda quiet..
You need parts for the j-5 I have them. 30mph lol I wish
yes I do - I need a in/ex manifold and a good carb - do you have? Im in Ottawa
@@PowerModzOfficialyes I have those parts and email to contact would be good

Thanks for watching - ill be putting more vids up on my other channel soon.
I’m thinking about getting a 06 mxz 800ho renegade now for 2300$, should I buy it? What’s some things I need to look out for
Check my other how to buy a snowmobile video.
@@PowerModzOfficial just watched but now do you recommend that year and model? If not I’m thinking about getting a Yamaha nytro if the 06 mxz renegade 800ho isn’t very reliable
Losin snow already?
Oh ya only about 1 foot left in the bush
what happened to the Clark skidder?
Sold it, not enough work to justify the expense to run it.
@@PowerModzOfficial ahhh thought so almost bought it off a guy in Massachusetts a few years ago.
If you stopped on a steep hill with the engine running and the transmission in neutral will it roll down hill ?
Yes
@@PowerModzOfficial Thank You . That's how a family friend was killed , in front of a J5 .
@@mrtundranutz1 oki see, ya that's sad for sure....lots of thinking ahead with old machinery. My old Clark skidder had no brakes...had to use the blade to stop it. This j5 will be getting a blade for sure too.
I need that to haul moose out the bush
Oh it would do it for sure
It's a bomb it has to be yellow
You needto build a logginv arch on yhat rig
Already in the works!
might even move the lever for rear steer seems in a bit of a od spot you looked like you was reaching for it and not comfortable
Yes for sure, previous owner put it there for some reason. I might try to put the hydraulic pump on the engine to eliminate the Honda as well
Don’t you still have the skidder Lou?
No I sold that a couple years ago - but still have footage of it.
Oh ok. Well cool new toy Louis. 👍✌️
Why haven't you been making as many vids? I haven't had the time to even watch vids lately so I'm guessing you are busy working too?
Ive been making some on my other channel - Rolling up my sleeves.
@@PowerModzOfficial I'll check it out!
wheres all the vids?

Its not a skidder its a mini groomer and its not going to hold up in power modz style HE WILL BREAK IT!!
thankfully it is a skidder - but ive owned skidders and I have broken them - so yes I will break this
Louie,you can say,tank,but don't say the R WORD! SNOWDOG.
LOUIE, you should move to RUSSIA comrade
I would get rid of that flat head Chrysler and go with a 300 ford a way better engine
Not a tank. Do you call a snowmobile a tank ?.
Did you call a J5 a snowmobile?
What kind of elan is this? 😂
UberElan
Break it
Rip head phone users
👍🇷🇺👍
Not a tank 🤣😂
When Im in the seat - it's a tank!
