Working Under Carts

pjshane · 06-02-2009, 04:54 PM

Please don't laugh.

My old body does not like getting up and down to work under cars or even golf carts raised on blocks under the wheels. I'm thinking of removing the batteries and turning the cart over on its side to have clear access to the controller and motor etc.

What do you do?

Thats new to me. I don't know why you couldn't.

I use an engine hoist. Raise one end as high as possible and block it up. I can usually sit on my roller chair at that height. More or less, I sit it on its end. Mine is gas., I empty the fuel to do it. Let's see how the other KIDS do it.

Be safe and good luck!

I have a Golf Lift 9000. The things set up for 3 wheel and short 4 wheel mowers.

Golf carts are too long, unless I change the whole set up. It's more of a pain than it's worth. It will lift two wheels at a time without change out.
The hoist is quicker for me.
