How to make a shovel on a walk-behind tractor with your own hands according to a drawing
Content
Description of the fixture
To understand what drawings will be needed in the course of assembling the tool with your own hands, you need to understand what a shovel blade for a walk-behind tractor is. A fully equipped walk-behind tractor (Neva or another model) consists of the following parts:
- pen. It is often made in the form of a "telescope". This allows you to adjust its height. In addition, there are convenient handrails on the handle itself on both sides. With their help, the unit (Neva or another company) is guided in the course of movement. All handle parts are firmly fastened with nuts;
- ladle. It is fastened with nuts to the base of the electric motor.
- electric motor. It is located under the body and below it has the main ones for connecting a variety of nozzles.
In this case, the motoblock shovel itself consists of the following parts:
- the shovel itself;
- a device for adjusting the angle of rotation of the shovel;
- fastener assembly.
This add-on can have various modifications depending on the type of walk-behind tractor (Neva, etc.). But the general features and principle of operation are characteristic of all models. Rotation of the structure is possible at the following angle:
- to the right (with a slope of 30º);
- to the left (with a slope of 30º);
- forward.
As you can see, a shovel blade for a walk-behind tractor acts as an attachment. Drawings for this tool can be easily found in specialized literature or instructions for the unit (Neva, etc.). Using them, you can easily make it yourself. Such a homemade shovel blade will be operated no worse than its factory counterpart.
What is it for
shovel diagram for walk-behind tractor
After correctly connecting all parts of the walk-behind tractor (Neva brand, etc.), we connect it to the outlet and remove the snow from the required area. But do not think that you will need such equipment only when clearing snow. The unit can also be used for cleaning plant debris from fields after harvesting, as well as for leveling the soil before planting cultivated plants. In addition, a shovel blade will allow you to transfer a small amount of land from one place to another.
As you can see, this tool is very necessary when growing cultivated plants in the garden. With its help, it is possible to carry out certain tasks for the arrangement and improvement of the garden and personal plot.
How to do it yourself
If you already have a walk-behind tractor, then you can easily make this structural addition with your own hands. Most often, people buy a Neva brand unit.
To assemble the blade, you may need the following materials and tools:
- a bucket from an old and already unnecessary shovel;
- iron sheet with a thickness of at least 2-3 mm;
- tin barrel;
- knife;
- Bulgarian;
- welding machine;
- hammer drill and electric drill.
This list can be expanded with additional materials depending on which version has been chosen. For example, this list can be expanded with the following materials:
- rack;
- tin strip 5 mm thick;
- stiffening ribs 3-4 mm thick;
- attachment lugs for traction;
- drills, washers, nuts and bolts (M12, M10, and M8);
- rods with a length of 520 mm;
- rubber sheet, etc.
Upon completion of the preparatory stage in terms of finding the necessary tools and materials, you can start assembling the blade shovel with your own hands.

Execution options
There are several options for assembling this add-on to the walk-behind tractor with your own hands. Which of them you will make the product depends on your preferences, available materials and tools, as well as free time. Consider the most popular options for making a shovel.
Option number 1. The easiest way is to make an instrument from an old steel barrel. Ease of manufacture is due to the fact that the barrel already has the required roundness. The tool assembly process is carried out as follows:
- we take a 200-liter barrel;
- we clean its surface from rust and dirt;
- we saw it into three parts;
- we weld two parts with a welding machine along the contour. This will give the structure additional rigidity;
- the bottom of the blade should be reinforced with a knife or a steel strip. In the reinforcement, you need to drill holes with a step of 10-12 cm and a diameter of 5-6 mm;
- in the resulting holes it is necessary to fix a safety strip made of rubber;
- then we attach the fastening system to the walk-behind tractor to the resulting product.
Option number 2. Using an iron sheet. In this case, you need to carry out the following manipulations:
- clean the sheet from dirt and rust on it;
- bend the sheet. For these purposes, you can use any large semicircular object (barrel, buckets, etc.). In such a situation, you will achieve a better curvature and optimal shape of the sheet than when bending without additional devices;
- the lower edge of the sheet should be heavier. To do this, we weld a strip of iron or a piece of wire to it;
- turn over the resulting bucket. We weld fastening systems to its convex side, with the help of which it will be hung on a walk-behind tractor (Neva and other firms).
The result is a plate that can be bolted to the machine. Now you just have to install the resulting tool and test it for durability and efficiency in work.
As you can see, both options can be done with your own hands in a home workshop. The dumps obtained in this way, subject to the technology of working with metal and a welding machine, will not differ in any way (in terms of physicochemical and technical parameters) from the purchased models. At the same time, you will save a significant amount of money, since such a complete unit is quite expensive. The main thing in the assembly process is to deal with the drawing of the tool and properly weld all its components together.
