Carryall V-1

[longdistance]

New to your site. Just purchased a carryall V-1. Total length is 11', it has a bed over 5' long. Very heavy bed. Would like some type lift to raise bed if someone has an idea on that. It has the FE350D Kawasaki engine, which runs very well. Has over 1626hrs on it. I took the aluminum box that was on it off and replaced with wooden side rails. (Aluminum box was like a small camper cover.) Aluminum box was used at Disney World to sell suntan lotion is what i was told. Has has headlights, signal, wiper, radio,. I'll try to add pics before and after. Paid $2700.00 for it. Give me your opinions. I've been reading your sites input for some time before becoming a member. Very informative. Thanks.

WELCOME to the madness!!

I think I saw that cart on ebay?
It looks like you have a frame extension behind the seat / cab.
1600 hours is not alot for those and the bigger 350cc engine is a bonus.
Of course, you paid for the box on the back, maybe you can sell it or scrap it to recoupe some of the price.
lOOKING GOOD. "jAKES" MAKES A VERY NICE LIFT KIT FOR IT.
What are you looking for in a lift? You could just put HD springs in the rear.
What year is it?

WELCOME! VERY COOL CARRY ALL , LOOKS LIKE IT IS ALREADY SET UP FOR A SECOND FORWARD FACING SEAT WITH BACK DOORS , YOU COULD MAKE THAT BOX INTO A TRAILER TO PULL BEHIND YOUR CART

Welcome to the forum. Nice cart. I've never seen one quite like that.

Numbers indicate it is a 96 model. Don't want to lift at this time. Bought it for my father inlaw who can't get around good. The height is perfect for him to get in and out of easy.. I do like the idea of maybe putting the box on a trailer to pull behind the cart tho. Inlaws are 78 and 70. She still pushes a wheel barrow around and a push mower. (6acres to mow) Made the little truck bed so wheel barrow can be parked. They both enjoy this. Easy to start and drive. Our little girl enjoys it more than her ATV. Thanks for your input and all the info. Later.

Oh I forgot to say nice job on the bed

I would say that cart is definitely going to be blessing for the inlaws. I can relate to the kids riding it also. My kids would rather driver our golf cart than their quads.

Thanks Sundownshifter. Inlaws love the (quick put together) bed. We call it pops little truck!! I agree with you Spriddle. For what ever reason kids love the carts better than ATV's. Surprises me tho. When i was a kid i would have chosen the atv. Much faster.
