Re: Ezgo vangaurd 18
I have some more pics. I'm determined not to lift this cart.i am going to put a 20.5" tire on it which should raise it just a little bit.
I have not purchased anything for this build yet.everything was laying around that I had or reused. I raised the seat 2".still gotta make it look nice. Also made a link for the front of cradle out of a f250 sway bar link that I shortened. |

Re: Ezgo vangaurd 18
I like the idea of leaving the cart stock looking. If you dress that seat lift up you won't even notice it.

Re: Ezgo vangaurd 18
One thought. Unless you install high speed gears without a lift kit your tire size is going to be limited. You top speed will be also be limited.

Re: Ezgo vangaurd 18
My plan is a 20.5 size tire. I don't care about speed at all.just want the impressive torque.

Re: Ezgo vangaurd 18
One more question. Does anyone think it would be a problem to have the crank turned to 3/4" and run a spacer to get it to 1". The nose of the crank at skinny part of taper is only 3/4" so it would have to be built up by welding it to 1" and then machined to 1". Just afraid welding it will cause it to be warped.

Re: Ezgo vangaurd 18
I found out today that the vanguard use a forged steel crank so any welding is easily done compared to cast iron.

Re: Ezgo vangaurd 18
How about just buying a 1" crank? Have you looked into the cost on that? I know there are some members here that stockpile some of these parts, you might be able to get a good crank used from them.
Try posting a thread in the parts section asking about a 1" crank for your engine. |

Re: Ezgo vangaurd 18
Made a pulley for the starter generator to crank the vanguard.generally these are for farm equipment called a w pulley.
I couldnt find center hub that was narrow enough.i ended up using a collar for a 1" hydraulic cylinder that I was able to weld into the pulley and file a 1/4" keyway slot into it. Little work but at $16 hard to beat. |
