My snow plowing EZGO marathon

TomStark

OK, just got back to working on my cart. Made a new front axle for it, with the spindles mounted at the end of the axle rather than on top, (3 inch lift). I have butt loads of positive camber right now! LOL! Will fix that next year, will cut the spindles and weld them to 0 or possibly SLIGHT negative camber, but for now, I just want to get ready for winter with as little work as possible (and that is still a whole bunch!). Here is the plow fitted to the new axle. The blade removes easily, the winch and blade mounts are welded on, just way easier than making it a bolt on. Still need a lot of details done, but I should be ready soon!

Looks good and welding the tabs on works. As small as they are they won't cause a problem.

As for the front end. It would be easy enough to fix the way you built the axle. You could remove the spindle and bend the top tab up until you get the correct camber angle on the spindle. Then weld in a longer tab on the bottom of the axle and bend it to match the top tab. Wouldn't take too long to do and should work fine.

I think it will be a lot easier to just cut the spindles and reweld. Other wise I am screwing with all sorts of angles on the axle, (2x3 box tube replaced the 1x2 original axle), plus, if I change the king pin angle I will still have massive positive camber when I turn, by cutting and welding the spindles my camber angle will be better in turns. But for right now, this will work just fine.
