Another G9 in my stable

TROUBADOUR · 10-29-2011, 08:00 AM

Thanks, guys... for the comments about the cart AND the dog. I call him (the dog, not the cart) "REX" and it is probably a good choice since that is what he answers to --- when he decides to answer. :-) Actually, he does come when I call him most of the time ... exception being when he has something interesting to do. He's mostly obedient.
I may get a G8 someday ... when I can find one really CHEAP (or if I get a lobotomy :-) )

Spoken like a true G9 member...haha Pat, there's a guy that sells fuel doors made out of treadplate on ebay. think I paid $26? Makes all kinds of treadplate parts for G9's. I'd check out the site supporters as well to see what they have.... just FYI

Thanks. I'm not too worried about a fuel door ... at least not for $26! Heck, that's more than 1/2 of what I paid for my G2! :-) But then it doesn't have a fuel door either.
I will probably be building a flip/flop seat on the back anyway.

Good looking G9. What are the loops for in the rear bumper? Cart appears to still be in great shape.

TROUBADOUR · 10-31-2011, 09:17 AM

Loops appear to be for "safety chains" when pulling a trailer in the orchard. It has a "make-do" trailer hitch (really, just a piece of 1.5" angle with a hole in it) welded on to bold a ball onto --- which will be removed as soon as I start working on the cart. Been so busy lately I've only taken it out for a ride once since I got it home ... and that was only for about 5 minutes! Only "bad" thing I noticed at that time was that it is SOOOO SLOWWWW! :-( Didn't notice a governor connected to the carb linkage -- didn't even notice one dangling. Not sure where I'll start checking for problems, but I guess I'll have a little time this week before I start getting ready for round-up.

If it's been used to pull trailers, I'd start by looking at the belt and drive clutch. I use my G9 to pull a small bushhog, I usually have to replace the belt every year or two years depending on how many times I cut. It's up and down hills pulling quit a bit.

TROUBADOUR · 10-31-2011, 10:19 AM

New belt and clutches about 6 months ago... according to the seller. And they do appear to be new. Power seems to be OK ... just didn't wind out like I think it should. It seems to be a governor-type restriction ... or a carb limiting thing. I'm comparing it to my other G8 with 22" tires so that makes some difference in top speed, but I just can't figure out why I can't get the revs up. Might have to rig up a tach so I know just what I'm dealing with.

comparing it to your g8 hmmm there's apples to oranges

just joking troub

Sorry -- that should have been "compared to my other G9". I don't have a G8 --- yet. Hopefully I won't do anything bad enough to be required to do that much penance! :-) I try to avoid committing felonies just so I won't get sentenced to owning a G8. And if my lawyer isn't good enough to keep me from having to have a CC I will get a new lawyer! :-)
