Wheels for the Neva walk-behind tractor


Neva walk-behind tractor engine

The main working unit of a walk-behind tractor is the engine. It is activated only by turning the key; if the Neva walk-behind tractor does not start, then there are several possible reasons.

The walk-behind tractor does not start

No spark

In this case, it is necessary to check its functionality. Remove the spark plug from the engine and insert it into a special candle holder, and place the housing on the cylinder. Next, turn on the engine. If there is no spark, then you can replace the spark plug; if it does not appear, you should check the starting mechanism and ignition operation. Most often, it is the start button that fails; it can be replaced with a new one.

How to remove a candle correctly?

A special key is used to remove the spark plug. You must be careful, because the spark plug heats up during operation, so remove the spark plug before starting or after the walk-behind tractor engine has cooled down. We install a new one, and then check the clearance. It must be, but not big. The recommended lumen width is 0.5-0.6 mm.

Gasoline does not reach the engine

The second reason that the engine does not start is a problem in the supply of the fuel mixture. In this case, you should go through the complete gasoline delivery scheme. From the fuel tank to the carburetor.

  1. First check if there is fuel in the gas tank. It should not only be, but be 2-3 cm higher than the bottom, since the gas tank in the Neva walk-behind tractor is designed in such a way that fuel is taken at exactly this height.
  2. If there is fuel, you should check the operation of the gasoline intake valve. To do this, remove it from the hose and look, if gasoline flows out, then everything is fine, if not, you can clean the tap itself or replace it with a new one.
  3. Next, check the hose that connects the faucet to the carburetor. Remove it and try to blow it out. If air flows freely, it is functioning well. If not, clean it or replace it.
  4. And the last in this chain is the carburetor. Disassemble it and thoroughly wash all parts with 95 gasoline. Thanks to this, carbon deposits and impurities will be washed off. After completing the work, thoroughly blow all joints and joints with a compressor to minimize residual gasoline, which evaporates under air pressure. After this, put all the parts back together.

Here are a few more problems that may arise with the engine of the Neva walk-behind tractor:

The walk-behind tractor turns off during operation. Here the main reason is the low amount of fuel, since if it starts, it means it is in good condition. Since we discussed the design of the gas tank earlier, for reliable operation the fuel should be approximately 5 cm above the bottom.

The walk-behind tractor does not start the first time. Check the performance of the spark plugs and replace them with new ones if necessary. Also use a primer to additionally pump gasoline to the carburetor.

Running in the walk-behind tractor

After you have purchased a walk-behind tractor, you need to test it. This process must be carried out efficiently. Because it is the basis for the correct and durable use of equipment.

Running in a walk-behind tractor is, in essence, not operating it at full capacity. Here you need to select the correct load on the walk-behind tractor.

It is recommended to run-in the Neva walk-behind tractor with Subaru engines at half the maximum power. For example, if a plow in working condition should be lowered into the ground by 30 cm, then during operation it should be submerged only 15 cm.

The break-in period is prescribed for each individual model. It is measured in engine hours and usually ranges from 5 to 20 hours.

For a more gentle operation, it can be done without any attachments at all.

Important! Before starting the break-in, you should fill the crankcase with oil. Starting operation with an empty crankcase is not allowed. The choice of oil brand must be made in accordance with the operating instructions. Typically 10W series motor oil is used.

The walk-behind tractor smokes at idle

Most often the reason is that the air filter is clogged and dirty. In this case, you can remove it and see if the smoke continues to come out. If it stops, then the cause has been found.

If it still smokes, check the oil level. Perhaps there is too much of it and it gets thrown away.

Speed ​​adjustment

The working spring is responsible for the number of revolutions. The opening and closing of the throttle valve depends on how it is tensioned. One end of it is connected to the working lever, it goes from the handle to the spring. And, when the position of the handle on the Neva walk-behind tractor changes, its position will also change. To adjust the number of revolutions, you need to adjust its tension.

Adjustment of valves

In operating condition, the gap on the intake valves should be 0.15 mm, and the exhaust valves should be 0.2 mm. In this case, the dipstick should be freely located under the valves. If this is real, then everything is fine. If not, then they should be adjusted.

  • To do this, you need to do the following:
  • Warm up the engine and then allow time to cool
  • Remove the casing
  • Remove the valve cover to gain access to the flywheels
  • Unscrew the locknuts
  • Adjust their position with a key so that the thin blade can pass freely under them.
  • Reassemble everything in reverse order.

Models of Neva walk-behind tractors

There are different models of walk-behind tractors on sale. Before purchasing, be sure to read the manual and operating instructions, which will describe the main characteristics and features of the products. There are two main directions of walk-behind tractors - MB1 and MB2. The first is designed for medium-sized fields, and the second is for larger areas.

Main models of Neva MB2 walk-behind tractors:

  1. MB-2K . The letter K means that the engine was manufactured in Kaluga. Semi-professional - 6.5 horsepower, professional - 7.5 hp;
  2. MB-2S . Subaru engine. Power from 6 to 7 horsepower;
  3. MB-23 . These are heavy units designed to work on heavy types of soil. The letter after the numbers will indicate the manufacturer of the motor.

These are just some of the products; there is a huge selection of models on sale - gasoline, diesel, light and heavy. As you know, diesel cars are more durable and powerful. They are often converted into mini tractors. You, too, can make a new, more improved car for yourself with your own hands. And for this you will need a standard set of tools and materials.

Gearbox, faults, device

The gearbox is designed to transmit rotation that comes from the engine to the wheels and attachments. It regulates the speed and direction of movement.

Gearbox device

The gearbox is designed in such a way that to regulate its operation there is no need to disassemble the entire mechanism. All regulators are located on the outside.

The gearbox has 5 positions. When you press the lever, the clutch is disengaged; when it is released, it returns to its place.

If the drive is connected to the right axle shaft, then at this moment of switching the walk-behind tractor stops. When the handle is recessed, the left sprocket catches and the gear shifts down. If it is necessary to increase the gear, the handle moves forward.

Major gearbox failures

  • The clamps or springs have failed. In this case, they should be replaced with new ones;
  • The settings of the gearbox itself have gone wrong. Loosen the screws, set the first gear, and tighten it back;
  • Oil appears on the shaft. The main reason for this behavior is the failure of the cuff. It needs to be replaced with a new one. It is also recommended to replace the seals. To do this, just pry off the old ones, pull them out and install new ones;
  • The transmission is jammed. There's a problem with the chain. It should be inspected and, if its integrity is damaged, replaced with new ones;
  • The transfer is not recorded. Most likely the fork is worn out. It cannot be repaired, only replaced with a new one.
  • Grinding noise in the gearbox. Most often it occurs with increased loads on the walk-behind tractor. This indicates that the gearbox axle shaft has failed, or the drive belt tension needs to be changed.

Disassembly and repair of the gearbox

Clutch, levers, cables

The Neva walk-behind tractor is equipped with several simple elements: levers and cables. The number of engine revolutions depends on the operation of the gearbox lever and all connecting cables. Such a device tends to wear out and fail during operation. Therefore, they should be periodically checked for integrity and replaced if necessary.

Also, don’t forget about the clutch. It fails much less often, but the plug should also be inspected periodically. If necessary, all these parts are freely available in the store.

Some people think about not buying a new cable, but making one from improvised materials. But it’s better not to experiment with this part and buy a new one. Because it cannot be replaced equivalently. The only temporary replacement option is to take it from a car clutch or scooter.

Belts for the Neva walk-behind tractor

Basically, Neva walk-behind tractors use V-belt drives. There are a large number of them presented. And for each individual walk-behind tractor, you should know the belt that needs to be used.

Replacing the belt on the Neva walk-behind tractor:

  • Remove the shield, unscrew the two bolts (7) and remove the protective casing from the pulleys (6);
  • Remove the reverse belt (3) by removing the spring (8), loosening the bolt (2) of the guide pulley;
  • Unscrew the screws (5) holding the bracket (a);
  • Position the bracket so that the pins allow the front pass belt (10) to be removed from the pulley;
  • Put a new belt in its place (first it is put on the gearbox pulley, then on the engine pulley);
  • Reassemble everything in reverse order.

Adjust the belt tension! When the clutch levers are released, the belts should sag freely, and the gear pulley should not rotate when the engine is running.

Pulleys are designed to tension transmission belts. There are a large number of them on the Russian market. To replace a pulley, you need to measure its diameter. The following sizes are available: 18, 20 and 25.4 mm.

Various attachments for the Neva walk-behind tractor

Initially, the product represents a frame structure. It is equipped with rubber wheels with a deep and textured tread for good grip on slippery surfaces. The kit includes saber-shaped cutters on an axle, which replace wheels during cultivation. For year-round use, various attachments are offered for the Neva walk-behind tractor.

That’s why the equipment is called a block; with the help of canopies, it replaces a hay mower and hiller, a cart for transporting up to half a ton of garbage, and in winter it turns into a snow blower. Additional canopies can be purchased individually or as a set.

Walk-behind tractor ignition system

Ignition adjustment

The ignition coil for the Neva walk-behind tractor is adjusted as follows:

  • Take a sheet of paper and fold it 4 times;
  • Unscrew the bolts that hold the module;
  • Place a piece of paper under them and screw the bolts into place;
  • In manual mode, turn the flywheel;
  • Check for spark.

Video review of adjusting the ignition of a walk-behind tractor engine

One of the main factors for the correct operation of the ignition system is the gap between the starter and the flywheel. It should be in the range from 0.1 to 0.15 mm.

To adjust it on the Neva walk-behind tractor, you need to remove the housing and unscrew the stator bolts. Then place the feeler gauge and set the required gap, tighten the bolts back and check the gap over the entire surface of the flywheel.

Generator, faults, elimination

The generator is an important component of the entire mechanism. It is designed to charge the battery and operate the headlights.

When choosing a generator, you need to pay attention to its power. It must exceed the power of all connected devices to ensure uninterrupted operation. For the Neva walk-behind tractor, it is possible to use an old car generator.

Important! During its installation, you must follow the diagram presented below. Otherwise, the generator may catch fire.

There are 4 wires in total in the generator. Two of which are blue. It is thanks to them that the converter is connected. Red, connects to the headlights and supplies voltage to them.

Electric starter

Many people strive to improve the performance of their walk-behind tractor. During the winter seasons, it has difficulty starting due to the fact that the manual starter does not turn over. To solve this problem, a special electric starter was invented for the Neva walk-behind tractor. This is an autonomous device that, when the ignition is turned on, begins to rotate and gives a spark.

An electric starter is a complex design, and it is not possible to make it at home. You can use any other car electric starter that could be left over from an old car.

Candles

We have already figured out what spark plugs are for and how to change them. Let's look at the brands that are needed for each specific type of Neva engine:

Technical characteristics of the Neva MB-1 walk-behind tractor

The wide demand for the walk-behind tractor is due to its excellent performance characteristics.

The model’s spare parts are manufactured according to the latest quality standards, and the assembly level meets all technical standards.

Models of walk-behind tractors

Motoblock Neva MB-1
The first unit was assembled with the domestic model of the DM-1K engine. The engine cylinder liner was cast iron, which significantly increased the service life of the engine. The apparatus was capable of developing heavy soils and even virgin lands. You can still find the Neva MB-1 walk-behind tractor in a rural farmstead.

The modernized walk-behind tractor model is in great demand. Changes:

  • a gear-chain reducer is installed;
  • an imported engine was used;
  • the ability to unlock the left wheel for easy turning on a small area;
  • increased idle speed to 12 km/h.

Motoblock Neva MB-2
The load capacity of the Neva MB-2 walk-behind tractor became 300 kg, and this made it possible to use a trailed trolley. After modernization, the walk-behind tractor began to be in increased demand, despite a significant increase in cost. Experts appreciated the improved performance of the model:

  • increasing the strip processing width in one pass;
  • gearbox with gear shift – 4 forward, 2 reverse;
  • pulley for transmitting power to attachments;
  • presence of a steering wheel;
  • increasing the load capacity on a dirt road up to half a ton.

The main tool that comes with the block is reciprocating cutters for loosening the top layer of soil. With increasing power, their grip will double with a loosening layer depth of 35 cm. See how easily the Neva walk-behind tractor works in the video:

There are models MB-23 and MB-3. Model 23 performs the same functions as the MB-2, but has a 10 hp engine. With. and the body became heavier. MB-3 is a light cultivator without mounted implements.

Motoblock Neva MB-3
The first model has been discontinued. Which of the proposed assistants the tiller should choose depends on the area of ​​land and the nature of the work.

Common breakdowns and methods for eliminating them

The Neva MB-1 walk-behind tractor often breaks down. Moreover, this is not due to poor quality of parts or assembly, but rather to improper operation of the model. In any case, you should carefully study the repair instructions for the unit in order to be able to repair it yourself if necessary.

Most often, the car requires minor repairs. This could be replacing gearbox seals or worn out clogged filters. In the first case you will need:

  1. remove the top engine cover;
  2. disconnect the valves from the gearbox;
  3. Using a flat screwdriver, remove the old oil seals;
  4. install new elements;
  5. connect the valves.

To replace old filters, you will need to remove the top cover of the engine and disconnect the pipes connected to the throttle valve. Then you need to remove the old air filter, clean it, or install a new part. After this, the dismantled parts are assembled in reverse order.

Often the walk-behind tractor requires more serious repairs, for example, replacing belts. In this case, you will need to dismantle several important components - the gearbox, pulley and protective covers on the engine.

Most often, problems arise when dismantling the pulley. It is attached to the motor and frame using screws hidden on the inside of the motor. Therefore, before removing the pulley, you need to study the instructions for the unit and find out where the fasteners are located. After this, you need to unscrew the screws with a Phillips screwdriver, dismantle the gearbox and disconnect the cables. After replacing the worn elements, the motor is assembled in the reverse order.

Do-it-yourself repair of the Neva MB-1 and MB-2 walk-behind tractor according to all instructions

The first Neva walk-behind tractors appeared back in the 80s. Today, they not only have not lost their popularity, but have even become even more in great demand.

Thanks to the constant modernization of models, Neva units delight their customers with an affordable price, good wear resistance, high quality of all components and a long service life. Among the many models of this brand, we will talk about the two most popular: walk-behind tractors MB-1 and MB-2. We will learn not only their features, but also try to analyze the most common causes of their breakdown.

Motoblock Neva MB 1 detailed technical specifications

The Neva MB-1 walk-behind tractor has been produced since 1984 and during this time has gained the trust of many users.
It has been modernized and improved, but there are still working copies from the 90s of the last century. The manufacturer of Neva walk-behind tractors is the Red October plant, St. Petersburg. This is a specialized enterprise for the production of motorcycle and agricultural machinery. The first Neva brand walk-behind tractor was released in 1984.

The walk-behind tractor is constantly being modernized and is still popular among buyers, as it has stood the test of time. The manufacturer has developed and equipped this equipment with a new Multi Agro gearbox with an increased number of gears.

The Neva MB1 MultiAGRO walk-behind tractor has 3 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. By rearranging the belt on a double-strand pulley, you can get another set of gears that also have a functional purpose. Thus, for each agricultural technical and economic operation it is possible to select the appropriate speed, thereby increasing the productivity of the work performed.

In addition, the MultiAGRO gearbox is characterized by an increased gear ratio, which improves the traction and grip qualities of the walk-behind tractor.

The gear shift lever is located on the steering wheel, which is convenient when using the MB 1 walk-behind tractor as a vehicle.

In the MB1-FS/MB1-FS Premium modification, the presence of an electric starter, which is powered by an installed battery and a generator on the engine, makes it easier to start it, and also makes it possible to use the headlight at night. Now, in order to start the device, it is not necessary to pull the manual starter; you can simply turn the ignition key.

Motoblock MB-1: frequent breakdowns of the unit and their solutions

This walk-behind tractor can easily be called the “first-born” in Niva production. Of course, by now it has been modernized in many ways and has acquired a more modern design. With the help of such a unit, you can effectively treat the area in absolutely any weather. It will perform well both on soft sandy soil and on hard ground. And the cast iron cylinder liner ensures its reliability and long service life.

Now we will look at the most common cases of breakdowns of this unit. Usually all repair instructions can be found in the instruction manual, so if you still have it, you can safely use its instructions. But if this item is lost, then you can use our advice.

Let's look at the most common malfunctions of the MB-1:

  • If there is an oil leak on the output shaft, the first thing to do is remove the axle cover and replace the seal.
  • What to do if the gearbox jams? In this situation, you need to disassemble the walk-behind tractor, where you need to replace the broken chain.
  • If there is no kinematic connection inside the gearbox, then the broken sprocket in the block needs to be replaced.
  • Gear malfunction: does not engage at all or does not shift. There may be several reasons for such a breakdown. The first is a destroyed switching pin. The second is that the threaded part of the shift knob is cut off. In these cases, we simply replace the defective parts with new ones.
  • Oil leakage on the shift shaft. The first thing we do is check the oil level in the gearbox. If an excess of it is detected, then drain off the excess, and if on the contrary, top up.
  • Wear of the shaft seal edge. Everything is simple here: we disassemble the gearbox and replace the worn cuff with a new one.
  • Restoration of the overrunning clutch should be carried out as follows: remove the starter, take out the clutch, and grind off the grooves for the balls. You need to pour a little oil inside to minimize friction between the coupling and shaft. We install everything back.

Motoblock MB-2

This unit is an improved model of the MB-1 walk-behind tractor. It features a reinforced gearbox, differential lock, imported engine and other features. All this allows it to be maneuverable and easy to use, have good traction force, and be multifunctional when using attachments.

It is thanks to these qualities that MB-2 is very popular among buyers.

Malfunctions of Neva MB-2:

  • It is impossible to separate the axle shafts. In this case, check the drive adjustment. If it is incorrect, we change the cable tension.
  • Self-switching gears or lack of locking. This problem can occur in three cases, or the switching adjustment system is broken. Then you need to loosen the screws that hold the board, engage 1st gear and tighten the screws back. Either the spring is broken or the board retainers are worn out. In this case, you just need to replace the broken parts. Or the fork cheek has worn out, then you need to disassemble the gearbox and replace the broken part.
  • If there is no kinematic connection inside the gearbox, then the shift fork itself needs to be replaced. Another possibility is that the welding of the gear to the block shaft has broken.

It is worth remembering that before you repair the Neva walk-behind tractor yourself, you should carefully read the repair instructions that the manufacturer offers you. If you don’t have such instructions, then you should use the tips above. Of course, if you do not have special skills in repairing such equipment, then it is better to entrust the Neva MB walk-behind tractor to specialists. There are many service centers that will conduct a full diagnostic of the equipment and be able to identify the exact cause of the malfunction.

Remember, in order for the walk-behind tractor to serve you for many years and not succumb to any malfunctions, you need to change the oil in a timely manner and adhere to all operating conditions.

Which Engine to Put on Motoblock MB 1

Motoblock Neva MB 3.5

The Neva MB 2.7 walk-behind tractor is a product of the St. Petersburg enterprise “Red October”. This model has been known to Russian gardeners and gardeners for quite a long time. Serial production of the model began back in the 80s. Devices of the Neva series became one of the first walk-behind tractors on the Russian market. Here the technology was constantly modernized.

Today Neva MB 3.5 is available in several modifications, differing in the model of the installed motor:

  1. Neva MB 2K is equipped with a Russian engine with a huge service life and a low price;
  2. Neva MB 2B is equipped with power stops manufactured by BriggsStratton of various capacities;
  3. Nevay MB 2C is equipped with professional units of the EX Robin Subaru brand.

Video

The choice of motor is usually made taking into account the area of ​​land to be cultivated. In its traditional design, the model is suitable for plots of 10-15 acres. Large farms require equipment with a massive engine (9 hp). It must be emphasized that the manufacturer, in principle, does not use Chinese power plants to complete the Neva MB 2.4 equipment.

Which Engine to Put on Motoblock MB 1

The walk-behind tractor includes a gear-chain reducer, made in a duralumin body. It works great with the massive engine and provides a wide range of speeds (4 front and 5 reverse gears). In first gear, the equipment produces a traction force of 180 kgf at a speed of 1.8 km/h. This helps to plow, hill and cultivate the soil with the highest quality, even on heavy soil. The maximum speed of the walk-behind tractor is 12 km/h, which makes it a good assistant when transporting goods.

A fundamental feature of the Neva MB 4 model is the presence of a mechanism for separating the axle shafts. The drive from the motor remains attached to the right axle shaft, which allows you to turn the car “on one wheel”, providing a small turning radius. The control column of the walk-behind tractor can be adjusted in vertical and horizontal planes, increasing ease of use.

Despite the fairly large weight (the heaviest modification of the Neva model

MB 2.4 has a mass of 98 kg), the equipment is small in size and fits in the trunk of a car.
