our project 88 marathon

Dmontgomery · 01-23-2013, 05:56 PM

We have really had a lot of fun with this cart. I have also got plenty of help from the great folks on this forum. Thanks! and im so ready to get this thing back going. I have had the motor out and replaced the seals now im waiting on some other stuff ive ordered. New brushes, cables, battery etc...

Its nothing fancy and its my first cart we plan on driving it in the woods and around the camp ground, my kids will be driving as well so I didnt plan on making a show cart.

Looks like he's having fun, that's all that really matters!

My son saved his money and bought these lights on his own, I must say I think it looks pretty good! Now if we can just get this thing going!

amazing what a lil time and care does..now you can never get rid of it for like 10- 15 yrs,as the son has his money invested and you would owe him big trying to replace it, and get something he can have more fun with..

lookin good

my ole marathon is getting a jakes long travel incase you ever go there with your,there will be easy instructions when im done..

Very cool!! We have been loving our "new" one also. Lots of work done, and still to do... but the kids are having a blast, and so am I!!!!!!

sassycat · 01-24-2013, 05:17 PM

i think i sent a pm to the wrong person lol..oh well,sorry dmontgomery

Dmontgomery · 01-24-2013, 07:54 PM

When or IF I get all the gremlins lol out of this thing the next thing im gonna do is put Monroe shocks on it and get some seat covers then I will have to keep it because all the money blood sweAt & tears ive got invested but it had a lot of new parts when I bought it and ive have never owned or thought of owning a cart until now and they really are as useful as they are fun compared to the price of the newer rtv's rhinos mules etc.. as it sits I have about 1100 in it and dont really plan on that much more. How much would this thing be worth running perfect?

sassycat · 01-24-2013, 08:15 PM

i got mine for 600 running perfect"almost"the spring on the accelerator cable trick worked wonders for me..
it was so ugly i was afraid to spend the cash but glad i did now...but as of now i would loose big time if i sold it..id think the way it sits in fl yours and mine would only bring 1500 to the right person like myself ,if we were lucky that is

im keepin mine a long while unless i replace it..i pull a trailor round the propert to clean the tree limbs,,pull old trees out of the woods with the hitch and so much more its hard to replace for the gas milage it gets..

Looks good! I noticed you were gonna put monroe shocks on it next. Heres the part #'s , front is 31125 and the rear is 31000. The cheapest I found them was rock auto for $15 each.
