3 wheel marathon to 4 wheel conversion

[jh964]

I have a 77 marathon 3 wheel cart I just bought. it runs good and just changed the transmission fluid. gears looked real good and no metal fileings in the oil. I would like to be able to use this in the winter as well to plow snow, but am not much of a fabricator and don't see anyone who makes a snow plow for the three wheel version.my only option would be to convert it to 4 wheel. I hate to do that to this cart. if anybody has any ideas on this let me know.thanks in advance

Seriously, find a 4 wheel cart. Unless you just want something to do and have the parts laying around its not worth it. (just my opinion) It requires major fabrication. I spent $1000 on a cart that was worth $500 when I was done and in the end sold it for scrap steel. It was a fun project but I wouldn't do it again..... If you had the parts its really wouldn't be to bad but. I myself wish I had the 3 wheeler back. My kids had more fun on it than the 4 wheeler.



Here are some pics of how I went about doing mine. There are different ways of doing it. You could use a 4 wheeler front....just any number of ways.

If you aren't up to fabricating,find a 4-wheel cart body/chassis with a front-end in it,then just swap in your electricals,pedals,seats and drivetrain if necessary.You can find rolling-chassis as cheap as $100.Hope this helps.
