Default Upgrade my Cushman?

I have a 60's Cushman 3 wheeler with original resister control. I really like the cart but the electrics could sure use an update. The throttle and reverse/forward contacts are worn and everything gets hot when it's running. What would be the best path to a solid state controller?

Was hoping for insight from someone that has actually updated an older cart, probably pretty rare. If I tackle this will be a winter project so have quite a bit of time to do my research.

Hi Bob,

Check out this search of BGW for "resistor upgrade" ... there is lots of information for you to review here:

https://www.google.com/search?client...esgonewild.com

As Reddawg454 suggested, check out the Carts Unlimited site for both technical information and purchase options. Scotty at Carts Unlimited is a BGW member and a site sponsor and has probably helped hundreds of people with "resistor upgrades" ... so he can provide you some great advice for your particular application.

See: https://www.cartsunlimited.net/conversion-kits.html

Good luck on your upgrade and welcome to BGW
