Found a donor cart

djhartley2003 · 04-30-2009, 10:40 AM

I have been looking for parts for my old EZgo and haven't been having a lot of luck. Well I found what I thought was going to be a donor cart. It is a 1989 EZGO with the charger for $100. Its missing the batteries but has everything else. The more I am looking at the pictures and thinking about it I might be stripping the suspension off the old EZgo I have and putting it on the new one I am picking up on Saturday. Thought that I would see what everyone thought.

This what I have right now and it needs all new parts. Really has nothing to it but the suspension.
I don't know the year of this one but I think it is a Marathon. The body had been changed before I got it.

the white one is mid to late 90,s and you say the other one is a 1989.......the charger if it works is worth 100 dollars but as for swapping parts you might want to look at things 1st as many of the parts are going to be different, suspension parts are all different, front and rear as well as a lot of other things.......so you may be buying a cart that byou can,t use any of the parts................now you may be able to modify ( some things ) but as for just taking from one cart and bolting on to the other won,t work..................................

DJ we will be open this sat 10 to 3

also i still think the acsystem would be perfect for the white cart it comes with all new trottle response and dsah board with gauges like putting an LS6 in a 55 Chevy

wicked, are you saying the white one just has a different body on it? if thats the case things might work but if its a later model cart as it looks things are gonna be different..................................

yea the gut DJ got the cart from used an old marathon and then did all the killer fab work and then added the newer TXT body

Like Mr. Wicked said the white one is an older cart that had a new body put on it. The frame under the white body is a Marathon from what I can tell. Modifying some of the suspension I can do and I figured that it most likely wont just bolt on. But I think that it might be a better way to go. I think it might be easier to do suspension on the 1989 instead of all the electrical components on the white one. If any thing I can at least use the steering out of the 1989. It is the same as whats in the white one. Ive also been told the 1989 has an upgraded motor. Ill have to wait and see.
