Re: My g1 hunting cart
what a great project......and just think how proud it will make you feel when it's running through the woods!!!!! There's no doubt that our family gets more pleasure out of our cart than any other "material" thing that I can think of. We'll be waiting for finished product pics......

Re: My g1 hunting cart
We're expecting some snow today and tonight to the tune of 4-6 inches from lake effect winds. Time to give this beast a trial run!
The plow is a AC garden tractor plow that I modified to fit. Here's some build pics... I cut and welded some steel on the front part of the frame where the bumper mounts. The stock bumpers were way too wimpy. Then welded in a 2" receiver hitch, reinforced in the rear to eliminate flex. Then installed a hitch mounted step bumper, square style, to mount the winch to. Welded the winch plate to that, then mounted my winch. This way the winch and bumper can be removed at anytime. Works great! I just hope the cart has the balls to move the snow, it's gonna be heavy wet stuff!!! |

Re: My g1 hunting cart
Thought I'd throw this one out here since I've seen some people asking about G1 shocks.
I went with the Jake's 6" a arm lift for my cart. I put it all together, which went fairly smooth and easy, and it looked great. Jake's makes a nice kit with good directions and photos. However, it rode pretty rough. I found several threads here about atv shocks, and I gave it a try with good success. Rear shocks are Suzuki LTZ400 quad shocks, front. They just happened to be long enough to just use the factory mounts top and bottom without any trouble. That gave me the same lift as with stock shocks and the Jake's lift mount. So, I just by passed the Jake's lift kit in the rear and went with the atv shocks. Rides much better by the way, especially at speed. On the front, again atv shocks, but this time I found that I could by pass the Jake's shock extenders. The shocks I used are from a Honda TRX250 quad, front. They match the ride of the back shocks, pretty good. They are a bit soft for anything but driving around on/off road. I put my plow on it and they buckled on me. So I fabbed up temp mounts to compensate. After winter is over, back to stock shock mounts alone. . I'm still not satisfied. I'm looking at going dual a arm atv suspension. That way I can have good performance and the ability to make winter adjustments for the plow. |

Re: My g1 hunting cart
Here is a pic of my frame mod for the clearance issue of the primary clutch. I heated it up a bit and hit it with a sledge hammer a few times. Got this tip from SKARP here on the forum. Thanks Stephen! |

Re: My g1 hunting cart
The guy I bought the cart from was putting that sled engine in it and he cut out the battery tray to make room for a huge exhaust pipe.
So, again a little help from SKARP, he sent me a new tray/frame that he sectioned out for me. And I cut and fit and trimmed and refit that thing until it fit pretty good. Hey I'm not a body pro, but I was pretty proud of myself. |
