    Now i'm looking for an old golf cart... thanks for the reveiw.

    Great build ! For the custom swing arm you made to hold the engine, where the rubber straps are holding it down, measure the frame and custom engine mount bar. Then research to see what size stabilizer bar busher set (from and automobile) fits abs they come.witj the bushing and bracket. You gave me motivation and I'm converting one so I found this to be the best option !

    I love these predator 212 engines. I just put one on an old three wheeler but it vibrates the handle bars a little. It’s got some torque though. Thanks for the ideas.

    For your pull cord situation, you can drill a hole and feed the pull rope through and then put the handle back on so you won't have to lift the seat anymore. Thank you for this series!

    Very cool Sir, I am building almost the same thing right now, having a blast! I bought 1/4'' plate for my motor mount, a bit overkill I know, but your feedback helped a lot.

    I built one also and used an old ball joint in the front so it can work all directions. Works like a charm

    • @firzout
      @firzout 3 года назад

      Can you post a picture of how you used the ball joint? TIA

    • @jasonhodgws5266
      @jasonhodgws5266 3 года назад +1

      I don't have anymore. But what I did was I went to the truck and I cut out the piece of the a arm that holds the bottom side of the ball joint I welded that the frame. Then bolted it up to the swing all I built.

    I like your work i am rebuilding the same cart right now but it has a g1 transaxle i am thinking im going to pull the trigger on the parts i need for it because of your video

    • @ChrisfromKeyfarm

      I hope you do it, I think you'll be happy with it.

  • @firzout
    @firzout 3 года назад +2

    I love these videos! Can you post pictures of just how you did your rear so it could float with your engine? TIA

    • @ChrisfromKeyfarm
      @ChrisfromKeyfarm  3 года назад

      It's in the build video. The engine plate is attached to the rear axle tube with u bolts, then the front of the plate rests on the frame and is held in place with a rubber bungee😂

    You can always put chains on the tires if you don’t want to drop the scratch for the new traptor tires

    @juanziegler1471 3 года назад +1

    axle is sprung ,make engine float w axle not rigid , may not be a solution but my first thought . or rubber bushings to isolate vibration ,Love it

    • @ChrisfromKeyfarm
      @ChrisfromKeyfarm  3 года назад

      It does float with the rear axle , the rear of the engine plate is " hinged" to the axle

      I bought the smallest 5/8 bore #40 chain sprocket they make, in the coming months I'll install it and do a top speed test.

    How does it do pulling hills i live in NC and for got a pretty steep drive and wanting to do this to a cart i have but i don't want to do all the work if it won't pull my driveway

    • @ChrisfromKeyfarm
      @ChrisfromKeyfarm  3 года назад

      It does pretty good, but a little bigger sprocket on the main shaft is easy to do. I hooked it to a utility trailer the other day ( not on the ball, just dragging) and drug it out of the weeds 300' to the road.

  • @tomwarren5258

    • @tomwarren5258
      @tomwarren5258 3 года назад +1

      I talked to a few different golf cart place in today everybody's telling me to buy a gas card already done because this is a hassle but I think they're just lazy what do you think

    • @ChrisfromKeyfarm
      @ChrisfromKeyfarm  3 года назад

      I buy almost all my project parts from eBay.

    • @ChrisfromKeyfarm
      @ChrisfromKeyfarm  3 года назад +1

      A gas cart would be great if you could find one at a good price. I suppose the biggest reason for me building this cart,( other than the video) was cost, I'm still in this one pretty cheap.

    • @tomwarren5258
      @tomwarren5258 3 года назад

      Mine's been done for about 3 and 1/2 Weeks runs great 18 220 I guess and does everything I needed to do got about total a $850 tied up in it total

    Replace the bungee with exhaust rubber hangers. won't come off on its own and it will let it move some.
