Re: Who has the oldest cart here???
The good ol wire brush worked for me, but depends on the paint's flakey-ness... Just make shure to be gentle so to not ruin it, [joke You might get some Ideas from the CSI Vegas episode where they have the battle bot murderer and stuffs the dude in a 55 gal metal drum... [/joke]

Re: Who has the oldest cart here???
RE: Melex....The fact that you have rear brakes makes it a newer cart, probably 1980ish.
possible model #112. Can you post some pic of the beast? |

Can you post some pic of the beast? scottyb, I'll do my best to post some pictures soon. The charger that came with it is an ez-go branded model (40284). The charger was dated 1995 and was DOA until I bypassed the relay circuit board. Output was a good 40 volts DC with very little AC ripple. I'm guessing that the previous owner boiled the batteries (since the trojans were dry) and gave up on it. Refilling the batteries and charging the batteries individually has shown some promise. Thanks to all for the warm welcome. Zzzzz... |

Re: Who has the oldest cart here???
The batteries came back to life enough for me to piddle with the motor. I have since taken them to the recycler....I found another cart almost exactly like the MELEX Barney mobile and have brought it home too. The second one is a Melex 112 according to the ID plate, Are the serial numbers indicative of the date of manufacture? And if so, who would have the pertained info? The second cart has the brake on the motor and no coil over shocks in front. ,

Re: Who has the oldest cart here???
Well enough paint has come off and the Barney mobile is a 1982 model 152 and the blue goose is a 1979 model 112. A few batteries and a little wiring and lo and behold both are still quite operable. The Barney mobile has been a constant source of entertainment for my 6 year old daughter. we have enjoyed a evening cruise through out the neighborhood every night for the last 10 days.Wooooo Hoooo!

Re: Who has the oldest cart here???
This is my Cushman, I'm not sure of the year, maybe mid '60's. Used lawn chair webbing for the top and painted some tropical fish and flowers for fun. I'm a new member and this is my first post, hope the picture shows up! |
