trying to make ONE 80's Club Car from TWO - possible???

buggienewbie · 02-25-2010, 11:47 AM

Hello to all! I acquired two Club Cars - one from 1983 and one from 1984 - and I am trying to make one good one out of two not-so-good ones

My first challenge is determining if either/both of the motors are good. BOTH MOTORS have terminals that are not marked (or at least not any longer) - one of the motors model number is 1012190 , but I cannot read the other - I have read the forums on how to jumper the terminals to isolate the motor to test it, but I don't want to do damage to EITHER motor, and want to be certain I am hooking them up the right way - To anyone who wishes to help - I can provide pics or descriptions that you require

1983 Club Car model/serial is A8318 45389
1984 Club Car model/serial is A8443 64679

Any and all help is GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Anything is possible it just depends on your level and what tools you have at your disposal. Someone here should have info on the terminals. Welcome to BGW!

Thanks Decipher - I am a 44-year-old Ex-Computer/IT, X-Ray Tech and current Lawn Mower Mechanic (it puts food on the table and diapers on my kiddies) - so I "ain't skeered" to dig-in and get dirty. Thanks for the welcome - will post a few pics of these gems ASAP!

I know what you mean, decipher...I also still get called to work on computers, but not nearly like I used to - I have preferred to let the youngsters hack around on computers while I do more fun things, likeplay with engines, mowers and now, with a LOT of help from y'all - GOLF CARTS :-)
