1981 Club car 36 volt

[mikeyford3]

Motor actually works one of the posts is broke off I took it off the motor and actually put it on a bench it does spin!

well I guess I am just gonna start a 48 volt conversion and a alltrax any recommendations? Do's? Dont's?

Is this cart even worth messing with or will I be into it just as much as if I bought something that ran?

I mean honestly at the 3 grand I might as well just buy a newer one lol just put new resitors and selinoids in it and call it a day and save up for a new one lol.

your call , if you LIKE working on projects it can be fun...but that cart is almost 30 years old ….but it would be YOUR baby when done....
and , depending on where you live , cart prices might be higher or lower than my deal...

I love projects! Im located in south Jersey the carts around here are going roughly 3-4 grand. Im not looking for anything fancy just something to lug me, my bow, and possibly a deer in and out the woods.( pretty mellow terrain).

I guess it all boils down to talking to the boss lady... seeing how much I can get away with spending before she starts getting angry. I once told her my 69 Bronco was going to cost 5 grand to restore lmao. it ended up being a lottttt moreeee

been there , hell , I LIVE there...…...but instead of asking for permission , I just beg for forgiveness afterwards....

before you drop coin , I would get a REALLY good look at the frame , they don't rust , but the can crack all over the place....and the rear leaf spring area can get a little rough....

[mikeyford3]

Copy that I did look at the frame it isn’t cracked anywhere the only thing is it did corrode in the middle suppler for battery. I’ll take a good look tomorrow I did get the rear part oft eh body removed tonight.
I’m honestly just thinking about getting it running how it is. I’m sure it won’t be a speed machine but it will get me from point a to b faster then walking

There are a few guys on here that have just added 8 volt batteries (48volts) and a new charger and ran with it. I'm sure they'll chime in soon.
