1983 Club Car
Is a 1983 Club Car a good year for a lifted project cart? I can get one for $800 and it has newer batteries in it.. Seats have covers over so I assume they are trashed.
Anything in particular I should pay attention to when going to look at this cart? I see on another thread that the lifts have to be modified on a 1980, is it the same on a 1983? Thanks for any help Cuz |

Re: 1983 Club Car
This cart fall into the '82 & up DS category. It is a 5 solenoid 36v cart. replacement parts and lift kits and aftermarket parts are readily available. Pull the battery out of each side and look at the amount of corrosive rot on the battery support rails....They always need repair. Unfortunatly with their aluminum frames not everyone can weld in the needed repairs to these carts. But repair is seldom needed and the lightweight frame makes this a good electric cart choice. You can buy 3/4" aluminum angle and use small bolts to attach it upside down under the existing support. (installing it underneath allows the battery to sit level) Make sure to mark wires or photograph before removal. Clean all battery trays with water and baking soda to neutralize the acid........

Re: 1983 Club Car
It's about a 5 in. lift. Tires, I'll have to look and see which ones those are. I have a couple of sets. And thank you. It's all getting changed to A-arms and coil overs in the next month or so though. I would like a little more height than it has right now.

Re: 1983 Club Car
I recently traded a broken down four-wheeler for an 83 clubcar. I am glad to hear the good news about this year cart as I was worried since my wiring is screwed up.
