This video was 9 years ago. I like how you made it work, very simply. Doesn’t look like “rocket science”. Do you still have it? How’s it holding up? Any update videos you could make ? Thanks in advance.
Nice . I just build one today with old 160 honda gc and older easy go . But im motor was on a differet way . The diff was like one a car where it ponits froward . I gear it 12t on the clutch and 10t on the diff shatf and it only 16 mph and very slow take off 😂😂. I think it need 9 hp or more instead of a 5 hp
On the rear "axle" - you just took electric motor out of the way and put a sprocket pulley on it or a centrifical clutch sprocket? What size did you put on .... was it difficult? thanks so much ! GD Tractor
Sorry to bother. The neighbor has a 2000 Kawasaki mule with no engine and I got an engine for $75 just to have and see if it would work on my old Chuck Wagon. should that Kawasaki engine fit right in that Kawasaki mule with no motor I can get the frame and the cab and everything for $300?? Thank you very much. GD
Okan I've been looking into doing this. I have a few questions. First. The rear differential. So that twists and goes up and down with the suspension. How do you keep the chain from falling off with having the engine mounted to the frame? I saw some guys box in the rear diff and run a plate off of it for the engine that does not connect to the frame. But that looks like a bitch. Secondly. How did you get the wire and shit off of the motor to get the gear on that shaft? Or is that a different shaft you ran in the electric motor housing? I need to know you did this. Love the idea.
Was curious to how you got just the shaft out of the motor. Im trying to put a 200cc dirtbik engine in my golfcart but have no place to mount the sprocket.
Hi. I've watched your vid a few times as well as others for research on mine. I put a tao tao 125cc with reverse in a 1997 Yamaha G1 leccy cart. I also pressed out my leccy shaft and I welded an 18tooth sprocket. Last thing to do before I can drive it is to remove the leccy motor again and figure out how to keep the housing case (top to bottom) together and then bolt it back to the differential. its raining today so I can't mess with it... so I thought I would ask how you solved this issue? otherwise mine is ready :-) your vid was an inspiration but I wanted leccy start and reverse golf cart speed was the goal here so I think watching yours I will be pleased cheers mate
so I should have read tour comments first, great idea I'm doing the same set up now, I've been trying to cut all the stuff off the shaft ha, and I have press right behind me , I will try that tomorrow, how did u push it all the way out??? like a big bolt or steel rod or something???
i am doing the same thing to a cart i got how did you gut the electric motor down to just the shaft i dont see any way to get the coil of the shaft would appreciate any help great vid
I just picked up a old beater cart with a rebuilt electric motor but no batteries for $100 I was thinking about putting a golf cart gas engine in it but they cost way to much so I started looking into the 13hp engine from harbor freight but if it works with a 6.5 seems even better I'm not looking for anything fancy just to ride up and down the street. Have you thought about putting a torque converter in?
got everything fixed up the same as yours , put the chain on and gave it some gas and it snapped the master link in the chain, it's to wide ha, what size chain are u running on that clutch???
cool it whit dry ice or liquid nitrogen, then heat the coil pack whit flame throwers while rotor suspended from a crane. no joke, this is how its i done
because of the gearing in the original diff, i would go with the smallest sprocket that will fit on the old electric motor shaft, the front clutch gear was whatever came standard on the clutches....sorry its put away for the winter :)
@@chuckfessler2572 this is for the 420 cc motor? other issue i will have is the rear axle it is gas powered already and didnt have the electric rear end set up
@@emptymaker9752 They just go by motor shaft diameter. 1" (inch) diameter is fairly common on motors of this size. As for the rear axle, I don't know. I have a 3-wheeled Cushman electric I'm kickin' the idea around with.
@@REDNIC79 I need to know both sprocket sizes I did this same thing from ur video thanks very much I had no idea how I was going to do it but I can’t get it to go past like 3 mph
juan mireles the electric motor has an input shaft, the armature is press fit on a splined shaft that accepts the input shaft, and rides in a pressed bearing on the brush cap of the motor. You can split them and take it all out, then press or weld a sprocket on it. Easy to do. Used the old housing to retain the bearing.
Nobody hardly ever shows how they do things just finished results. Suuuucks I’ve been trying to tear apart the electric motor and with a cut off saw and saws all I’m still at it countless hours later. Blow torch will probably be much easier and save time but I don’t have one. It’s not easy as he made it seem. Good luck
Rednic, thanks for the lead. i have a 1999 club car. converter is shout. i want to go gas like you. can we email each other. that way i can send you pictures. sure could use the help. again thank you don
@@REDNIC79 Did you cut the electric motor out of the shaft or use some 1" steel and make one to fit in the housing? How many teeth did you use on the sprocket? I don't want to do this twice.
Dude!!! Gutting the motor is the smartest and cheapest thing!!! Great idea
That's a cool idea my brother has a couple of carts that don't work. You have encouraged me to do the same.
Love how you did this. Kept it simple. Great!

How did you get the sprocket on the motor shaft?
I’m building a golf cart and man you just solved a huge problem for me
The content we all need
HOW DID YOU GET THE ROTOR OF THE SHAFT OR DID YOU MAKE A NEW SHAFT?
Nice . I just build one today with old 160 honda gc and older easy go . But im motor was on a differet way . The diff was like one a car where it ponits froward . I gear it 12t on the clutch and 10t on the diff shatf and it only 16 mph and very slow take off 😂😂. I think it need 9 hp or more instead of a 5 hp
i pressed the shaft out of the rotor...it was very tight.... then i gutted the rest of the motor (brushes / coils etc)
how does the forward /Reverse. work thanks
On the rear "axle" - you just took electric motor out of the way and put a sprocket pulley on it or a centrifical clutch sprocket? What size did you put on .... was it difficult? thanks so much ! GD Tractor
Just a sprocket, pressed the windings off the shaft. Not too hard as long as you have a press. Clutch is on the motor
Sorry to bother. The neighbor has a 2000 Kawasaki mule with no engine and I got an engine for $75 just to have and see if it would work on my old Chuck Wagon. should that Kawasaki engine fit right in that Kawasaki mule with no motor I can get the frame and the cab and everything for $300?? Thank you very much. GD
2:02....is that a 49’ Dodge? Love those old trucks!!
nice conversion,i never thought about that type of setup, my issue was finding a way attach a sprocket to the gear box
joe muncey i just welded it on...thanks! glad you like it!
@@REDNIC79 fuckn' weld it! Love how it's so out side the box it's in!
I'm trying to figure out a way to use a trans-axle as a transmission... For the rear end... Any thoughts?

What rear sprocket did you use can you send me a link to purchase one?
hey man, I'm working on my cart and I'm wondering how that shaft comes out of all the brushes? did you press it out or cut it out or what? thanks.
Did you figure this out? I see this guy doesn't respond to messages. I'm trying to figure out the same.

cheers mate
How did you strip the armature to a bare shaft to get a sprocket over it I'm going to be going your way
so I should have read tour comments first, great idea I'm doing the same set up now, I've been trying to cut all the stuff off the shaft ha, and I have press right behind me , I will try that tomorrow, how did u push it all the way out??? like a big bolt or steel rod or something???
it took some force, but it worked....i did the same first, trying to cut it off. bit of a puzzle!
What size sprocket?
Where did you get your chain and gear I'd like to have one
I have a old golfcart I need a motor controller electric of corse, do think I can acquire one from you?
good job
Did you have problems with the speed
where do you all buy these parts at love to change over my 94 ezgo
Where did you get the chain and sprocket
We’re u buy that clutch?? Doing a build too
Haha... Good stuff there !!!
Bill Hamilton thanks! Glad you liked it
i am doing the same thing to a cart i got how did you gut the electric motor down to just the shaft i dont see any way to get the coil of the shaft would appreciate any help great vid
the center shaft presses out of the coils (hydraulic press) good luck with the project!
I know this is fairly old but do u have reverse
thanks alot sir
brilliant.
I just picked up a old beater cart with a rebuilt electric motor but no batteries for $100 I was thinking about putting a golf cart gas engine in it but they cost way to much so I started looking into the 13hp engine from harbor freight but if it works with a 6.5 seems even better I'm not looking for anything fancy just to ride up and down the street. Have you thought about putting a torque converter in?
yeah a converter would be WAY better....its works with the centrifugal but its hard on it if you stop on a hill etc.
with the weight of the cart it's self I image would be hard on it as it is. With this engine how does it do carrying 2 people?
got everything fixed up the same as yours , put the chain on and gave it some gas and it snapped the master link in the chain, it's to wide ha, what size chain are u running on that clutch???
#40 I believe....
no reverse?
Hey man I’m have a problem where the speed is concern
U should of put a preditor on it like a 10 or 13 hp it would go faster
How do you get the coil part out of the shaft? I went to the machine shop and they couldn't press it out
cool it whit dry ice or liquid nitrogen, then heat the coil pack whit flame throwers while rotor suspended from a crane. no joke, this is how its i done
Would like to know if you looked into putting variable clutch on the differential instead of the motor and how to install a reverse?
i make a extra forward and reverse gear box add on
How did u get all the copper and metal off the shaft?? I'm in the works of doin the very same thing and I'm having difficulties getting it off.
+Bearded Muddah I pressed the shaft out of the whole mess
Does the shaft simply pull out of the gearbox? I have the case of the motor off but the rotor will not move out of the gearbox on the axle itself.
Jason Nichols mine did
Reverse?
Nice conversion. Brakes?
What hp engine?
What sprocket did you use on the shaft?
+CynicOfAll not 100% sure, but it was the smallest one that would fit
Are most golf carts this easy to convert because I have a melex golf cart
not 100% sure on that one.....i assume the concept will work
REDNIC79 hey man thanks for replying also can it be possible to put a motorcycle spocket on there and use a motorcycle engine
sky is the limit really, you just need to figure out what gear ratio you want to end up with
what size sprocket ratio did you use? looking at doing mine but need to work out what size sprocket for front and back. cheers
because of the gearing in the original diff, i would go with the smallest sprocket that will fit on the old electric motor shaft, the front clutch gear was whatever came standard on the clutches....sorry its put away for the winter :)
Would a Hayabusa fit?
Doesn't have a reverse does it ?
nope
where did you get your chain driven centrifugal clutch at?
TSC has them...
@@chuckfessler2572 thank you!
@@emptymaker9752 You're welcome, think they're $40 #40 Chain

how fast does it run
goes about golf cart speed...its no speed demon. more of a cruiser
Sprocket size on motor shaft?
Mike tidwell it was the smallest one I could fit on...smaller the better, its fairly slow, so a bigger sprocket would make it slower
@@REDNIC79 I need to know both sprocket sizes I did this same thing from ur video thanks very much I had no idea how I was going to do it but I can’t get it to go past like 3 mph
I got all but i can't understand how you place a sprocket on the rear axle .. did you used what was there ?

I want to see it go in reverse
When I hear shitbox, I’ll think of this
I wish for once someone would make a video building something instead of talk show & tell.
Here's a good step by step

dosent it burn the shit outta that clutch?
no not really, once the clutch spins up it stays engaged most of the time your driving it
I just did this to mine the clutch surprise me and held up
I am going to do the same and does it have reverse.
Kenzie R no it doesn't have reverse, but if you put reverse on yours, show me how!
+REDNIC79 reverse gearbox about $150 but it between engine and rearend lol
+Crayz_daves Build from where?

Would have gave you $100 for the old broke electric motor lol

can you kick her in reverse?

No reverse'? Thats useless
no reverse
Rednic, how do i send you my email address? do i post it here on a reply? thanks don
+Don Sage sure, or you can send me a private google message somehow....don't ask me how :)
DUDE SRRY BUT ITS TRASH BRO BUT IF IT WRKS ITS GOOD
Disliked. you didn't really convert anything you just replaced the entire motor..
convert - to cause change in form, character, or function ie. electric to gas
disliked your comment, you didn't watch the whole video,he converted from electric to gas, dumbass
Dumbass you can’t just magically put gas in lithium batteries and expect it to work
Fucking millennials! Enough said!
What bore sized sprocket did you use for the shaft of the old electric motor
I had to use a 1" bore and machine it out to the size of the shaft...it was an odd size
@@REDNIC79 Did you cut the electric motor out of the shaft or use some 1" steel and make one to fit in the housing? How many teeth did you use on the sprocket? I don't want to do this twice.
