Front & Rear hitches for Gas G9?
I would like to add front & rear trailer hitches to my Gas G9. The rear looks pretty simple (attach to bumper) but I haven't found a good solution for the front.
Does anyone make these items? PK |

Simple for the front. Put a Jakes long travel lift on. It's got the hitch built in it.

This cart is used for driving around an aircraft hangar... long travel kit is kinda a pricey way to go :)

Check out my post "The Wifes' Toy Is Ready",I've been building Yamaha kits with the 2" Receiver-Tube.If you can do the work,Its' about $50 in materials for the entire lift-kit.You can build as low as 4-1/2" lift with this setup.Hope this helps.

Re: Front & Rear hitches for Gas G9?
I made a rear hitch for mine, used a piece of plate (bar stock I think 5/16 x 3? Because I put a hole for a ball and another hole in the corner for garden carts). I bolted it through the frame behind the bumper and welded some little angles to the sides to attach to bottom of bumper. I also bent some rod in a U shape and welded it to the bottom side to use as a tow or tie down hook. In the front I bent a 3/4 rod and welded it to the arm brackets for the same purpose, but no hitch in front. Find a little welding shop or farm repair place they should be able to whip something up for you, all you need is drill some holes and bolt it on, its pretty simple. I should cut those angles off but never did. I wanted the hitch level so I just added them on last and welded them in the right spot.
