I will share my experience - it is necessary, not necessary and why!

A comment

Many people ask whether it is possible to install car wheels on the MB of the Eye and what are the consequences. Can ! Usually set to move with a trailer on a reasonably smooth road, we get a softer ride and a stable position when riding.

The wheels themselves become, as it were, a counterbalance and do not allow the walk-behind tractor to ride, which is why in vain on the potholes, especially when driving on asphalt. But the load on the gearbox and belts is increasing, so there’s something to think about!

For 20 years I could not decide on such an upgrade for a reason - our village is very groomed, and it’s better to climb the bushes with my own, factory ones. I have tires of an old release, with a high protect with axle expanders in a completely tolerable!

pros

Installation of car wheels is good in the suburbs, for a comfortable ride with a trailer.

Minuses

Additional risks of wear and damage to belts and gears, especially in rough terrain, and even with cargo.

Comparison of mowers to the Oka motor-block.

A comment

Immediately agree that the segment mower is designed for mowing grass up to about 50 cm, that is, a lawn mower! Of course, she can handle heavier grass, but she will have to mow with an assistant in dry weather. He will have to throw back the mowed grass. Accordingly, a certain upgrade! The main assembly requiring attention is the pulleys of the slanting belt and the belt itself. When biting segments of a branch or ... usually the belt turns over and fails.

At the cost of much research we managed to achieve something bearable, the belt was used thicker, and the pulleys were replaced with new ones, bored under the profile of a large belt - not otherwise! Since it is suitable for the size of 1500, and the stretcher does not hold out, the upper pulley was made a little larger in diameter. When mowing, generously lubricate the rubbing parts of the mower; in the flesh to the lower pulley - with grease such as cannon fat.

Use a brush! Also use a motor pulley, which has one section of a larger diameter, which will save the resource of the motor, etc. Now consider a rotary mower. It is good on the big grass, on a small scale and for one operator. The upgrade is minimal, except that the chopping segments can be replaced with forged ones. We attach a piece of linoleum with clamps to the mower, in order to have easy protection of the legs from any unexpectedness!

pros

I like both models!

Minuses

I met the release of a segmented mower, which is not resuscitable ... Its distinguishing moment is the tension mechanism of the slanting belt made in the form of a bottle ./ For a more successful model, it is a log! / Understand the causes of shell shock, is not possible. It is not possible to acquire segments and even more difficult rivets.

I will share my experience

A comment

It’s better to fill the engine with oil "in kind", used - hado. It worked unpredictably in Russian oil. In Honda I do not advise. In the gearbox, at the lower point, I installed a drain bolt, with the help of a thread and a shock-absorbing pad - to drain the sediment. There are many upgrades, but one topic can be discussed.

A snow blower is essentially a useful device, but the auger is smooth and does not climb into packed snow. It is required with the help of a grinder to make cuts along the edge of the screw, at equal distances, in the form of squares. With the moment that the teeth formed during the rotation of the screw would scratch the crust. Cutout depth is one centimeter, about four centimeters long. Next, we make two tensioners by means of fastening, on the cleaner, two ears / in the place of attachment of the nozzle /, and two angles with holes on the first bolt of the gearbox. We install threaded rods. This is to prevent the cleaner from skewing in relation to the walk-behind tractor, it helps to fine-tune the belt tension and accordingly corrects the skid during cleaning.

It is worth welding a strip of 10 cm in the lower lip of the cleaner., In order to avoid sticking the bottom of the turf and crust. A small ski in the center, but a lot of good. On the belt tension lever at the cleaner, we replace the spring with a more aggressive one, such as a door. Size according to need. When cleaning snow, set a weaker forward spring, for a smooth ride. On my walk-behind tractor, the forward gear is equipped with a pressure limiter. Conventional bolt on the thread. Protect tires in the reverse order to prevent wheel slippage. On the exhaust pipe we make a cuff made of plastic so that the snow does not fly onto the belts. It seems that I have not forgotten anything! Then I’ll tell you about the upgrade of the mower!

pros

Great upgrade opportunities.

Minuses

Some upgrade is not possible due to the inability to order a part according to the sketch. But that's another story !

Upgrade required

A comment

The most successful model of the average motoblock for the village. Despite the fact that I still have the first model of the Oka motoblock, which had to be upgraded with a mat: the engine was replaced with a Honda, the gearbox flows on the wheel shaft ... - I still say: it deserves to be! The latest Oka models are much more thoughtful, which pleases. In my village there are 13 motor-blocks of different companies and modifications, the Oka against the general background looks like a Kalashnikov assault rifle !!!

pros

Ample opportunities for upgrade, simple and wear-resistant thanks to a successful design, a lot of attachments - also simple and reliable in terms of design.

Minuses

Attachments required - transform type, with a wide range of uses. Especially the trailer. Goose legs cutters need an additional removable section. Forward lever lock with adjustable fixture. Detailed navigation on the use of attachments - minus the big one in its absence ... Segment mower - replace the mower belt with a thicker one, bore the pulleys under it, not otherwise ... One word is needed at the factory already, who needs our ideas!? A site would, for suggestions ...

So far, problems with the engine and speed switch (which is on the gearbox)

A comment

I bought it, brought it, scrolled the engine shaft quietly with a sniff and that’s it, the engine jammed the shaft. I will sort this out!

pros

In Perm. Delivered in a sealed box, oil filled EVERYWHERE !! In the gearbox and engine. Therefore, drove vertically. I took him on a fret grant with the rear seat removed, but remember the weight of the walk-behind tractor - it will fly to you in case of emergency !.

Minuses

So far, only a wedge is in the manual mode of the motor shaft. The engine wasn’t smelling gas yet.

Motoblock Oka

A comment

Great walk-behind tractor for people with straight arms. There is no such detail that I would not modify during operation. I have the MB-1 of 1993, the quality is not comparable with modern machines of the same manufacturer. Starting from the quality of the metal and its thickness, ending with the paint with which the unit is painted, everything is much better. I have to deal with modern walk-behind tractors and looking at them I wonder how it all does not fall apart. The point is not in the quality of assembly and processing of parts, namely in the quality of metal. Therefore, if you have the skills of locksmith work, then take it safely. There are no complaints about the engine, the old "Soviet" honestly worked for more than 20 years without complaints. Now changed to 9 hp Subaru, only because he got me for free. The difference is certainly noticeable, but not as noticeable as the difference in the price of motoblocks with different engines.

pros

Main REPAIRABILITY !!! On the lawn near the house you can repair everything without a special tool. A huge selection of attachments, Weight and power correspond to each other. Two handles for moving forward and backward (Neva needs to switch gearbox each time)

Minuses

A sufficiently high center of gravity, it is possible to fill up the walk-behind tractor when working on narrow wheels.

Motoblock Oka MB-1D1M10 with Lifan engine - a reliable and indispensable assistant

A comment

I want to talk about the operating experience of the Oka MB-1D1M10 motor-block. When choosing, several engine options were proposed Lifan, Subsru and Honda now, they say, there is another one - briggs stratton vanguar. And at that time (2004) he took the cheapest of the available import engines and, in general, did not regret it. Assembly of the Kaluga plant apparatus, the standard set includes wheel extensions, two types of mills, spare belts and all kinds of backup fasteners, nut bolts and other small things.

pros

+ The motor runs quietly and gently plows the ground evenly, does not burrow and does not jump out of the ground, weighting materials are not needed. He takes some gas. The mower mows grass of any height with a huge reserve of power. The walk-behind tractor is easy to operate.

Minuses

- not detected

Motoblock Oka MB-1D1M10 - has been serving for 10 years

A comment

I bought my walk-behind tractor more than 10 years ago. Took from scratch in a specialty store on the advice of the seller. In addition, I took a complete set of attachments, since the processing area is quite large and I need to handle it in different ways.

pros

Milling and plowing the garden, high maneuverability and experience even allow you to mill the beds in the flowerbed. I drive building materials or take out garbage, clear snow and all that. The engine is still native - an analog of the Japanese four-stroke. The main thing is to systematically change the oil and do maintenance.

An oil sensor is installed on my Oka MB-1D1M10 model, which will not let me start if its level is below the norm it is very convenient especially for inexperienced users. Gasoline consumption is more than modest, a liter is enough for 2-3 hours of intense continuous work. The transmission design in my opinion is well thought out. The chain gearbox is driven by an engine through two V-belts, which are both a clutch and a clutch and a reverse.

Minuses

I had to replace the drive pulley and several sets of belts.

Motoblock Oka MB-1D1M7 - a good option for a small summer cottage

A comment

I have been using the Oka MB-1D1M7 motoblock for quite some time. During the operation, it was necessary to slightly repair mainly parts of Chinese origin. Took new parts Kaluga plant. There are no complaints. The main thing is to change the oil and filter in time and the motor will work like a clock. The walk-behind tractor has a large selection of additional attachments.

In addition to the standard kit, I recently bought a rotary mower "dawn." A very convenient thing, much more productive than a brushcutter, coughs cleanly and quickly, fat does not get tired so much. The plans include a towed cart and a snowplow. I’m quite far from my house to the country road.

pros

A large selection of various attachments with which not only the native of other manufacturers is also suitable, low fuel consumption, thoughtful design, quite adequate cost, repair parts are inexpensive and easy to get.

Minuses

Over 4 years of use is not found.

Motoblock Oka MB-1D2M14 decent machine and home helper

A comment

Motoblock Oka MB-1D2M14 I have for the fourth year. I do not use it only in winter. And so quite intensively exploiting. During the summer, we go 2-3 times to mow grass, 5-6 walkers to bring hay, take out construction and other rubbish to the landfill 2-3 times, naturally, the garden of 30 acres is plowed up, the crop is being spudded and dug up. And for all this, 3-4 refuelings of 3.5 liters per season are enough. I want to note that it accelerates with an empty trolley according to my feelings somewhere around 40 km / h. Which is not at all safe since the walk-behind tractor is not designed for this.

Having driven into the hole several times, they lost control and nearly got into an accident. But the loaded cart pulls properly, only if it is uphill, it polishes the belts and they break. In general, with belts, the trouble is only to overload a little more and that's it - you need a new one.

pros

1. steering wheel adjustment in height, very convenient;
2. standard control for motoblocks, no need to get used to, adaptations are very easy to change, but hold on reliably, mow perfectly, spud and plant potatoes.

Minuses

The design is ugly, but it's not an ATV yet, transportation is possible only in a semi-disassembled state, eats belts must be monitored so that they do not twist.
