99 ezgo txt gx390 swap
 I was given this cart with a blown 295. So after looking around I picked up a Honda GX 390 off craigslist.  It runs great it was on a pressure washer that was used once and was left out and the pump froze and busted. I also bought a engine cradle from cpp and a taper adapter. |

I could find a fine thread 3/4 bolt locally on Sunday but I happened to notice the threads on the ball where what I needed I used the rachet strap to hold the pulley and turn the ball with a pipe wrench work like I knew what I was doing. LOL

Made a little progress
 I am going to have to modify the cradle notice the 2x4 blocks to get the clearance I need I am going to use square tubing to make a stand once I get it all mocked up. I am also gong to shorten the cpp cradle and bolt it to the factory front mount so I can use the start/gen on my engine. |

Here's a pic of my cradle after cutting it down.
 Here's a pic of my stand to get the engine up high enough to clear the shift linkage when moved back enough to get my pulleys spaced back to stock location.  |
