Possible g-2 purchase

sabercat · 11-05-2009, 04:24 PM

looks good! the added in line fuel filter is ok but make sure the in tank filter has been removed. by the way i do belive that's a g9 check the serial #.

Looks like you're right about the model -- JG5 - 200976 -- makes it a G9A doesn't it? What is the difference between the G2 and the JG5? And the other models as far as that goes? Is there a page or website with that info?

Thanks,
Pat

OK - I've been putting off the "test drive" until just a short time ago - the gas gauge was reading EMPTY so I figured I'd better put some fuel into it - I don't have any clue as to how accurate the gauge is and I don't like pushing vehicles nearly as much as I used to!

Anyway, I just putted up to the in-laws' place - about 3/8 mile of compacted gravel road with about 80 yards of uphill at the end. Seemed to go pretty well - no hesitation once it got warmed up, but the top speed was nowhere near the seller's claimed 35mph. I guess I'll have to get my GPS out and check it sometime.
Anyway, except for the governor just hanging on the cart seems to be in good shape - 18x850x8 tires are in good shape, no cracks in the body, small tear on the seat, starts up easily, no popping or jerking... I think i did OK for not knowing what I am doing.
Now, what's next? has to be cheap/free for a while so my wife doesn't get concerned about a "money pit" --- at least until she has a chance to see it's utility and usefulness. Once she accepts it as "my legs", or as my new "horse" that doesn't eat hay, there won't be any problems.

I guess a good clean-up and taking her for a ride (as soon as the rain stops and the temp gets above 40) would be a good start.

I've always had good luck with them after I put her name across the front!

WAIT!!! Put it back on the trailer and bring it to Ohio, I'll give you $600 for it!!

j/k
You did real good, nice find!!! In no time the wife will need her own cart.

Hmmm. I was just back in Ohio a couple months ago... nephew got married to a girl from Yellow Springs (near Dayton). I was wishing I had driven so I could haul a couple old Cub Cadet garden tractors home. They're pretty rare out here but I found 4 in just a couple hours of yard sales on a Saturday out there! I've got 4 (+ parts tractors) I've collected over the years but would love to have a couple more!
Well, maybe next time.

Looks like a good buy Pat L. You won't regret it. Those are good solid carts and there are some cheap and easy things you can do to pep them up a little bit.

i just got one two sounds like a good buy. Got a question though. Does anyone have a g2 with a trunk in the front on the hood. I have one and never seen another one?
