Re: Hey old timers on the board..
I don't have pictures, but I had a customer's cart in the shop: 1980 Cushman flat bed industrial cart. It had been a 36 volt electric, but the owner had pulled all that out and installed a 670cc Predator chain drive to a solid rear axle on a swinging "U" bracket with coil springs. Front suspension was off a Yamaha quad, including a chunk of the quad frame to swing the control arms. He got that far but wasn't sure how to give it steering, brakes, etc. I used the original Cushman steering box to swing a fabricated drag link to the left steering knuckle. The quad's tie rods connected to a common center pivot point so the right side got pulled along with the left. Old Cushman hydraulic master cylinder to Rhino brake calipers (2 in front, 1 on the solid rear axle).

Re: Hey old timers on the board..
The front axle is the challenge. We welded some longer leaf spring mounts on our project. It doesn't give more ground clearance but it allows for a bigger tire.

Re: Hey old timers on the board..
Well I guess it is an ezgo rib, I was wrong on it being all diamond plate, the sides are not. Anyone seen one of these lifted?
