Question Harley Davidson 1970 Golf Cart Restoration Project

Hey all new to group as I just picked up a Harley Davidson 1970 Gas Golf Cart in need of restoration and could use some guidance/assistance with it since never did a cart before, only cars. Think I should start with trying to locate a Manual, seen someone posted a link for a different model. Anybody have a link to mine? Would be HUGE help. Thanks!!

Here you go:

http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/columbia-parcars/



There are a lot of HD / Columbia manuals there. Do some browsing to make sure you get the right manual one. I think there is a main one that covers all years up until '81 or so. I am not real familiar with carts earlier than '80 but there are a few guys here that are the masters.

Note that, being that it's winter, forum traffic is light and you may not get a response to questions right away. When it warms up there's a lot more traffic.

Just curious. Is it a 3 or 4 wheel cart? Good luck with your project!

It's a 3 wheel-Gas. Love the styling of it. Will have to post some progression pics. At square 1 right now. Need a manual and a key. Picked it up for $100 delivered to my house. He said it ran when he parked it 5 years ago in the carport in backyard. Right off bat know it needs new battery, tires, seats, clutch, a tailight. Think I still got a great deal... what do you think group?

Wanted a smaller scale restoration project then a car for my 12yr old son and I to work on. Get him some on hands experience and some bonding time-- they grow up so fast!

It has been great working on carts with my son. We have been doing it for about 5 years now. He is 13 and still enjoys it and can spot a bargin on carts and parts. He already has been talking about a dirt bike and his first car. Enjoy every moment and take plenty of pictures. Time does pass us quickly.

That was a good price! I have a 1974 4 wheel and a 1976 3 wheel and I seem to prefer the 3 wheel. Both machines I converted to a steering wheel.

Yes, love the unique 3 wheel design. So anybody know where to get a primary clutch drive? Ones I did find online are outrageous $. Looks like going to be trolling parts carts/salvage yards.

Good luck again with your project Robo. You do realize these carts are rare and you paid less for yours than a parts cart sells for nowadays. If you find a Harley salvage yard please let me know where it is. IDK, could be different in your area.

Hope it is a fun project for you and your son!

Yeah I knew they weren't common in fact most people I tell didn't even realize Harley made golf carts at one time, I know I didn't till ran across this one. I did find a guy about 45min from my house that has (2) circa early 70's HD part carts. Hopefully they have what I need and are compatible with my 1970 model.
