Can Flood/Salvage Carts be rebuilt?

All that was at wholesale because I'm a dealer for all those, but definitely worth it! This cart was built for the wife, and she actually helped build it!

MGray, what tires are those? They appear to be garden tractor turf tires....correct? I am looking at doing similar tires, 26x12-12. How do they handle at speed?do they get squirrelly? How quiet are they?

Nice cart mgray. I figure we’ll be in it for around $5k altogether but it will be exactly how we want it and I will know it in and out.

Thanks for the tip wakko. That was not something I had thought about and I am looking at some that are titled.

They are turf tires. They came from DoubleTake, but most any golf cart tire places offer it. They handle good. This cart will run 32 mph.

That has been my thinking on mine as well; happy to get the reinforcement that I am not alone!

I was able to grab a 2008 Precedent from the salvage auction. First steps are to get some batteries to see what works and a new ignition switch since it didn't come with a key.

Do you think it will drive on horizontal surfaces also

Funny thing is the pic I uploaded was properly oriented. Not sure what happened there

I'm just messing with you; looks like a great cart-congrats!!

Many CCs use the same key, in case you know someone with one. I swapped the key switch in my Precedent with a Harley one for a little extra peace of mind. Cart looks good...can you tell where the water line is? Does it have batteries in it at all? Cables? Mind sharing what you had to pay for it?
