What is it?

kellyg · 06-04-2012, 07:46 AM

I've looked for the tag in all the usual places and cant find one. The rear end appears to be built in 91 with a date of 04-02-91. The front end has been pretty well butchered with the springs and all hardware missing so I'm needing to get some parts for it. There is a front and rear seat as you can see and wiring for head and tail lights. The FR switch has a 'blade' type handle I've not seen before.

Thanks for your help!!

Looks like an EZGO liberty model.

The F/R handle is the same as the one on my '91 Marathon. I believe it is common and I actually like it better than the one on my TXT.

The electrics should be the same as a equivalent year model Marathon. Yours looks to be a controller cart.

After studying the pictures longer, I believe the front cowl is a Marathon style so either the front or rear is probably not original to the frame.

Definitely a controller cart and it's virtually identical to my 91 Marathon as far as the FR, controller, solenoid etc. Just wanting to make sure of the approximate year before I order leaf springs and hardware for the front.

Thanks!!

Doesn't look like a Liberty. More like a fleet X-car. Either X440 or X444. Can't see the front end.

Agreed. That thing is mighty old, and it looks to be highly, um,.......altered.

Best of luck with it. We'll be here......

Then again, if that's a controller cart it should be at least a Marathon, yes?

Agreed, the front cap is not a liberty but the back sure looks like it.

Here's a pic of the front. I had to manufacture some springs to get it off the trailer and on the ground. The rear end suspension has been butchered pretty good to use springs off a Suzuki Samurai, thats why the back end is so high.

A little more info regarding the front end:
The info I can find says an 89-94 would use 17" front leaf springs but that doesn't set the axle far enough forward for the steering arm to pass the mid point. 19" was used 79-88 and that is long enough for everything to work as it should. As you can see, the front axle is 89-94. Think I'm going to call this one Frankenstein!!
