Harley MGIV to keep or not to keep?
Hello all. I recently picked up a Harley MGIV 36v. It is in really nice shape, I got it for $275 and it even came with the charger. I was told it just needed tires and batteries. I'll be honest I bought it with the intention of putting three 12v deep cycle marine batteries in it. I did this with a previous 48v club car that I had and it worked great for what it was used for. Yes I understand the difference between using six 6v and three 12v batteries so please skip the comments on that. Anyways, I did not know that the old carts had completely different drive systems than the newer ones with solid state.
So which brings me to the reason I am here. I have already researched getting the conversion kit from carts unlimited. I'm looking at $850 plus cost of batteries, new wiring, new tires etc. I figure it will cost me about $1,600 to convert it, get new batteries and tires. So I'll have roughly 2k into it once done. My question is if it's worth it? Or would I be better off, putting new tires on it, dropping 6 new 6v batteries into it and selling it? And if so what can I expect to sell it for? My use for the cart is putzing around the yard and neighborhood. Bring it to campgrounds a couple times a year. And maybe the occasional round of golf. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thank you, I attached the only picture I have of it right now. I'll try and get some more on later today. |
