Converting an Electric Cushman to Gas
I've just acquired this cart with its wiring all hacked up. I would rather convert it into a Gas cart. Any ideas?
Thanks! Simon |

Re: Converting an Electric Cushman to Gas
Welcome to BGW
If you want a gas cart the absolute BEST IDEA anyone can give you is to sell that one and get a gas golf cart. Unless you have all the parts laying around it's going to get into your pocketbook real quick. You will also need to be real good at fabricating. Look towards your local dealer to see if they have any junk laying out back you can go through. If you can find a GOOD REAR transaxle that will be half the battle. Be prepaid to spend some cash though. Thats my $0.02. Good luck with your project! |

Re: Converting an Electric Cushman to Gas
I am not afraid of fabricating and actually look forward to a little cutting here, a little there, and of course, welding it all back together again!
I've just come out of a four year restoration on my other project, so the Cushman will be my "cheaper" project I just can't sit still Simon |

My 2cents, if you want to do something you should look for a quad that was rolled and transplant the power train. Power and reverse. You could go all the way and add air and be the envy at the dunes

Tr3 = knuckle dragger, what a rush going through the gears with that stubby shifter.

Re: Converting an Electric Cushman to Gas
Here's one where all my money went... I guess my 6 could be considered a cart. Sure drives like a go-kart!
How do you cartwheel a tr3? !! Simon |
