taylor dunn controls
I recently aquired 3 taylor dunn carts 2 industrial flat decks and 1 t bird that I got running with a variety of parts fr control from an ez go and speed control that came with the cart.The motor and rear end also are stock.The speed control is a series of copper bars with a rotary switch,this system works so-so it sticks sometimes and arks alot.this cart is 36 volts.Im wondering if there is an inexpensive way to change these carts to a better speed control or are there tricks to make these work better. thanks Rod

Re: taylor dunn controls
Gitterdunn, What you are working with is a basic series electric system. So...speed control board from just about any series cart will work if you can figure out how to mount it. I would look into replacing the contact buttons on the speed board before I went into the much more expensive electronic speed controller. Or possibly a speed wiper board from a club car would work. Not sure on this but I would look into it...

Re: taylor dunn controls
The system on that taylor-dunn and a solid state golf cart controller are 2 completely different speed control systems. The taylor-dunn you have sounds like a resistor type system. A solid state forklift controller will more than likely cost more money than a golf car type solid state controller. For the most part as long as its a series style controller and you have the right throttle input type it will work if you can do the modifications. You can use a curtis PB-6 throttle and adapt those pretty easily. There is really inexpensive way to convert to a solid state system unless you already have the parts, know someone or can get them dirt cheap.

Re: taylor dunn controls
There's an older fellow that runs his taylor dunn around our street. He calls the older T/D carts "Old Sparky". Said it was a real commen problem with them. The T/D dealer in Anaheim quoted $189- for a new control bar.

Re: taylor dunn controls
I'm in Chino Hills. We just aquired another T/D from our neighbor. He asid it wouldn't run. I took an emory board to the contacts & it runs fine now. Having fun working on all the carts. We have 5 now, 2 club cars, a cushman, & 2 taylor dunns. I have 23 acres to fly around on, so i enjoy them.
