Brothers cart build

[andy4639]

Here is my next project. I bought this cart back before Christmas and plan to get it running and my brother wants it. It's a 94 model I think. Going to put batteries in it and clean it good and call it good.

[andy4639]

Took these this morning.

Going to use the little batteries I used in the C/C and see if it runs are not. Then I'll know what I'm up against. for $100.00 I guess I can't complain.

Man, why can't I ever find a medalist.

[andy4639]

Did a little cleaning on it. Started with this.





Put a magic eraser on the whole cart.

Nice job on the clean up, looks like a whole different cart!
Is that pull switch beside the F/R lever for the lights?

[andy4639]

It was at one time. It's got to be redone. I have some old lights back home I'm going to use.

Under seat pics???

[andy4639]

Under the seat isn't worth the effert. There isn't nothing there.

I put two long cables I had on the + and _ to reach the drivers side.

Since you asked though! It's only my 3 685's running it for now to get it on the trailer Sunday when we leave.

Looks good Andy. Its amazing what a lot of soap and water can do

[mike64]

can't wait to see your next cart finished

[andy4639]

Started welding in the battery tray and ran out of wire!

I got most of in. Just have to finish up the back side supports.

I know why I was a fitter now instead of a welder! I can't weld but I can make it stick...I hope.

Yes it is and to think I almost took it to the recycle center. I had to pull them out of Ryan's truck. I have enough to do one more maybe 2 more if I need it.

I've got to decide which charger I'm going to give my brother with the cart.
This is a 15 amp grocery cart charger but it is a maintance charger also.

Both are auto's but I think he would be better off with the maintance charger but it doesn't have any kind of handle to move it. I thought about mounting it in the cart but it's not water proof! Anybody got any suggestions!





Are the new one I got this weekend the EZGO auto.

[dougmcp]

For the charger without a handle, a flat strap and a couple of sheet metal screws would make one easily.

That's what I've been thinking to Doug. I have to go pick up welding wire this morning so I may see what Lowes has to offer.

[andy4639]

Well I talked to my dad today so I installed the maintenance charger in the cart. That way they will have it anytime they need it. It's got the regular cart sb connection going to it with another one on the charger so they can take it out of they like.



Bought new 6 volts for it and installed on the new battery tray I put in it.
That tray stuff is a pain to weld in. I hope I got enough weld on it.

Did you by any chance remember to ask about the cost of 12V batteries

Man I forgot. I'll call them today and see what they say.

They did have a Auto 48 volt charger there that on every 10th charge it did a equalization charge automaticly. $325.00 Not a bad looking charger either.

[Coltf1991]

Looks sweet Andy what brand batteries are those?

They are the no brand's they sell. I buy them at the wholesaler wharehuse. They are I guess like a Decar battery. They say they equal the US 6 volts.

Called them and the Trojan T-1275's are $911.70 + tax.

WOW thanks andy

[andy4639]

Got the head and tail lights wird up and this thing is done. I'll take up Monday after I sleep for awhile and spend the night with M&D and then head down to PQ for a visit and then over to see my sister's new house in Rockhill SC to check it out.

First thought... Limited Edition Xtra-large dual headlight vacuum cleaner

[dougmcp]

Man you don't waste any time Andy.

[dwon5]

lookin good Andy

[andy4639]

Well it's done as far as I'm concerned. I have it running and lights. I have to take it to NC Monday thats why it got done so quick. I had plan to bring it home over New Years but I got the Club Car and brought it home. I had a limited time to finish it but it's done. I have the windshield to instaall once I get to my M&D's house.
