Neighbor's got 2 and he'd sell one or both for a pretty reasonable price. Just make @davidwyby haul 'em out your way with his deuce 'n' a half next time there's a gtg.

I just stumbled on to these two from my renter.The idea is or was my significant other has a mobility problem .Ten acres of land and these would be an option for her getting around without spending much money .The Cushman which has an automotive type differential could be converted to an engine I suppose .
The EZGO has the motor connected to the differential .To install an engine would be a major under taking .They claim the range is around 8-10 miles using the six GC 110-120 batteries .I imagine using deep cycle marine 12 volts it might be half that .About 10 to 15 MPH which would be fast enough .

Pic of the Cushman which I think might have been a specialty build as a material utility cart and not a golf cart .A tad rough around edges .The EZGO is much nicer and a 4 wheeler .That's the one I'll fix up for her .I'm going to need to modify the charger plug with provisions for the two different types type of plugs .The charger I think came over on the Mayflower ,old as dirt but works just fine .

Working on an old boat, alot of epoxy, glasfiber and work.
Need another 4 liter of epoxy...

It will be thrown on the pickup and dragged around and used for fishing in small forest lakes.

cartaholics.com is one of the best forums for golf carts lots of info and not a lot of drama like this great forum.

I'm only on one cart site ,Cushman which so far has not been helpful .However I have the wiring diagrams for both carts down loaded .Fairly simple drive systems except the old Cushman is mechanical controls using wire wound resisters for the armature load and the EZGO evidently is self contained electronic unit .More than likely newer than the Cushman .Both work just out of adjustment .
Just seems odd to me they both have shunt motors and the Cushman only regulates the armature voltage not the field .Evidently the EZGO must control both .I'm not real certain on that yet .Having said that I'm not going to delve into DC drive systems except to say they almost always work about the same from a tiny little cart to a diesel electric submarine or a locomotive engine .

What year is it, that you considered it old? It looks kinda modernish to me.

Friend of mine has a old unimog that's a 1958. His looks like a dinosaur compared to that one.

 

[Al Smith]

As to the ages of them I have no idea because the info tags are missing . The carts don't need registered in Ohio unless they are used on the road .Besides that where I live is where the hoot owls romance the chickens .Rural ,corn fields and hog farmers .I really haven't checked the law but you may be able to hang a slow moving sign on and run them on the road .The hog farmers run "Gators " on the roads .Same deal just a lot more expensive .

Saved for posterity, although that kinda sounds like a hipster boutique item.
