It's in the fleet at work and needs some help with brakes, front end, and suspension. Driver also wants to upgrade the lighting. It has a Curtis PMC 1205-101 installed and the motor and diff are one unit. It used to have a cab on it but the current driver had to cut it off so he would fit. He is close to 7'. Was hoping the battery/frame arrangement and bumpers would give its' maker away.

Also, the EV company that comes in for servicing said it wasn't repairable so as usual I took up the challenge. I have a 90 Taylor Dunn B2-10 that I use daily. Runs like a champ. Just hope I can get parts for this one.

Have a look at the attached Taylor Dunn Vehicle ID Bulletin and see if you can find the serial number of your cart. You might also want to provide your photos to Taylor Dunn and see if they can ID the cart for you. Let us know how you make out

This bulletin was found at: https://www.taylor-dunn.com/d/downlo...-02-004-01.pdf

Upon further review, I think that I have to retract my "Taylor Dunn" guess for your Mystery Cart. If I take away the Taylor Dunn "Orange" paint and the cyclops headlight, it does not resemble any of the Taylor Dunn's that I can find on the internet. The wheel wells are different, there does not appear to be any bottom edging on the checker plate that the Taylor Dunn's typically have and the Mystery Cart does not have the smoothed front corners that even the earlier Taylor Dunn's have.

I do notice that the the brake pedal has a "W" stamped into it and there is small plaque attached above the Right Rear tail light opening that also appears to have a "W" stamped on it (but tough to confirm from your photo). Not sure if this "W" can help you in solving your industrial cart mystery ???

It looks like a Westinghouse “w” on the back. Did they make industrial carts?

mlg427 - It looks like you are on to something ... it turns out that Westinghouse did make golf carts (see photo attached of an example Westinghouse golf cart) ... and Westinghouse made industrial electric vehicles too which are similar to the "Mystery Cart"!

I found the following at: http://www.vintagegolfcartparts.com/...ordskg-history

"A Brief History of Marketeer: The "Marketeer Company" was founded by Merle Williams of Long Beach California during World War II. During this period of gas rationing he built a small electric vehicle for his wife to go to the market. As others saw his creation as a solution to their short distance transportation needs too, he received requests to build additional vehicles. He later moved his company to Redlands California and shortly there after added electric invalid vehicles to his line of two wheeled electric bicycles. Vehicles for industrial applications soon followed. In early 1951 the first electric car designed specifically for playing golf was introduced. The beige cart in the upper left is most likely a mid sixties model 425. The earlier model 419 looked similar but the front trim was wider and the Marketeer logo was above the trim. From this early beginning a full line of industrial vehicles and golf carts evolved. In 1965 Merle and Peggy Williams sold their "Marketeer Company" to Westinghouse.

A Brief History of Westinghouse & Nordskog Carts: Westinghouse continued building electric powered golf carts, industrial and specialty vehicles. They started off with the model 433 three wheel and 434 four wheel carts. Around 1967 they came out with the model 436 series four wheelers and 437 three wheelers. Note the blue 436 pictured above. In 1976 Westinghouse revised their overall corporate strategy and the electric vehicle division was sold. Under its new owners "HMK Marketeer" they produced the models 438 and 439 which looked very similar to the models 436 and 437. The company soon faltered as a result of management inefficiency and lack of capitol. After just a few months Westinghouse took the operation back and began looking for a strong and resourceful buyer that could restore the operation to its proper stature. In 1978 they found a buyer and the company was sold to Nordskog Industries, Inc. Note the white model 450 Nordco Marketeer "4-Runner" above. The "4-Runner" was manufactured from 1978 until 1982. After the death of Bob Nordskog in 1993 the company was sold to U.S. Electricar. In 1996 Legend Electric Vehicles of Redlands acquired the company from the failing U.S. Electricar. In 1999 Columbia Par Car, who had earlier bought Harley Davidson Golf Cars in 1982, purchased Legend."

Matt C - If the ID Plaque on the back of your work cart is the same as the Westinghouse plaque shown below, then you will probably have a pretty good idea of who built your mystery cart. Your mystery cart looks similar to the Nordskog Marketeer Cargo Carrier on the cover of the manual attached. This information was also found on VintageGolfCartParts.com

Let us know if this mystery has been solved!
