2002 GEM, Zuk axles and tractor tires.

DsZ71 · 02-09-2017, 10:04 PM

So I just picked up a 2002 GEM, 4 seater. at one point in its like someone installed a motorcycle engine in it. no engine when I got it. But plans are to chop up my current golf cart and combined it with them new project. So.. I think I will have the only GEM with zuk axles and 31" tractor tires

Old build that is being stripped for current project.

Interesting. At the very least you will give that "thing" a cool factor that it is sadly lacking and VERY much needing, and your passengers won't be hung over the rear bumper! Go for it!

The fun starts tomorrow...

I messed around today with it some...

Started taking some stuff off of the current cart and prepping the engine to come out.

Moved over the oil cooler... found out I can not drill holes that are level with each other :'D also figured out where I am going to put the battery (The battery in the photo is not the one going to be used)

And I started to set up the old clutch pedal for use as the gear shifter.

and who ever did the last work on this cut out a hole here... So I am going to use that area for my Hi-Low / Forward - Reverse shifters.

and that is where I am at as of right now... she is going to be a very slow build until I put a gate up at my place so i can get it into my backyard.

Well did a little work in the shop tonight... as much as i could with a 4 year old beating on the door to come in and then leaving a few secs later.

I extended the old golf cart shifters.

I made the shifter mount.

and here is everything put together. Tomorrow I need to take a trip to lowes for some bolts and nuts. I plan on drilling the holes and welding the heads onto the mount. I have under plates already cut for it also.

well change of plans on the shifters... I will no longer be using the old clutch pedal as the gear shifter. I will be using the Hi-Low shifter as the gear shifter since its right beside the seat, and I will be moving the Hi-Low range shifter to the floor. This is the shifter I made today for it.

DsZ71 · 02-13-2017, 02:29 PM

Started on the mount for the cables that the gear shifter and Forward / Reverse will connect to under the cart. Just need the tabs to come in the mail so I can finish it up.
