1981 Club car 36 volt
Picked this bad boy up for a hundred bucks! The guy said it ran and then one day just stopped. Frame is in great shape no rust. So I figured if I can't get it running it is at least a good roller to start fresh. I know absolutely nothing about golf carts, but I'm very mechanically inclined.
Just want to know where would you guys start? I found a a wiring diagram for it and it already looks like its missing the first resistor coil. Another thing is he was running it off 3 12 volt batteries instead of 6 6V. Until I buy new batteries will I still be able to work/make run on 3 12 volt batteries? My main goal is to just get it running well enough to be used as a deer cart during deer season. I have a few spots where I'm going about 2 miles in the woods on a dirt trail and 2 miles out. After deer season is done....thats where the fun would start! I would like to convert it to a 48 volt system, add a alltrax controller to it, and ill prob fab a new suspension for it . After I get it running I would like to actually make it "hunt" worthy. Add a rack to the front, put a roof on it, windshield, foil down seat for deer. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated |

If you want to convert it to 48 volts, don't bother trying to make it run as is. Just do the conversion. You will not regret it. Check the site sponsors like Revolution and Carts Unlimited for upgrade kits. Sounds like you have a good jumping off point, just jump!

Re: 1981 Club car 36 volt
All in what you want to do with it. The first thing I would do is test the motor to see if it is good. I know "the guy said..." but that is where you should start. JMHO.

Re: 1981 Club car 36 volt
I think that’s the first thing I’m going to do is to test the motor and see if it’s good. Is there a way to bench test it?

Re: 1981 Club car 36 volt
Yes you could probably get away with a total investment of $342.82 ;) which include the price of the cart....however we do get what we pay for. Most folks don't have 2 grand laying around to beef up a hunting buggy. I have seen some great "Shade Tree" hunting carts, Your time is free take advantage of that and buy the best parts you can afford,
