new donor motor for club car.

[kevinandrew]

finally got out to south bend and picked up my donor motor: 12 hp onan motor with ohv, and a shaft on the flywheel side. donor was a cub cadet 2130 garden tractor. motor has a 15 amp charging circuit, and lots of torque, and is designed to run at 4000rpm all day. should be pretty bullet proof. cost: $200.00. motor for cart, second mowing deck, and various other parts for my other cub. the rest: scrap.

not sure, but i think the 1720 cub cadet has a vert. motor the 2130 has a horizontal with a drive shaft off of the flywheel, and the pto runs the deck. anyway the hydro trans. is trash. that's why the mower became a donor....that and all of the duct tape holding everything else together. motor is really strong though.

why not get another mower off of craigslist. i've seen a lot of cub 1450 wich are much nicer than any of the cub vert. mowers for 400.00-600.00. you might be happier with something like that instead of looking for a transaxel, and busting your knuckles swapping it out.

yeah, yeah. it's been a long and slow process. work and uncertantiy have been slowing me down. i have to dig my club car out from under the mountain of sh.t that our son burried it under in the garage. motor is out of the tractor. everything is harder below freezing. i'm going to have to make a shaft for the flywheel side for the clutch. also, thinking that i'm going to have to do a little suspension lift in the back so the motor will stuff in under the seat. all in all it looks like it will be a better motor for the cart than the clone motor, which may go to live on my troybilt rototiller. pic.s as soon as a get my atc together.
