If you see the price of used carts you would know that it makes sense to fix it. Parts are plentiful and there are some fairly inexpensive 48 volt LiFePo4 batteries that would work great.
Just do it! LOL. I grew up on the 16th fairway of a public golf course. Ahhh... those days of boosting golf carts that were abandoned on the back nine. We had a ton of fun joyriding until they expired completely.
Hi tbone. I bought a used 36 volt cart and ised 3 12 volt deep cell batteries in series. Much cheaper than 6 six volt. You could gonwith 4 12 volt. I also purchased a converter that would convert the 36 volts to a 12 volt Fuse panel to add lighting radio etc. the 8 volts and 6 volts are not as easy to get to which as you know makes the price go up.
Like brand new 🤣🤣🤣🤣 great quote. Watching you pour that water was hilarious!!! slow down brother! Such an entertaining video T-Bone,,, you make the most boring chores entertaining
a few possibilities. On another channel they connected a alternator to a gas engine to replace the batteries. They modified the alternator to get higher voltage. I believe that cart run on 24 volts though.How many 8 volt batteries in series. 6 batteries x 8 =48 volts.If i counted the batteries correctly you could use 4 12 volt batteries either lithium or deep cycle lead acid batteries. If it is possible I would remove the electric motor and install an air cooled engine with cvt transmission.
If the frame, motor, and rear end is good you have a kit. Everything mechanical that you need is there. Yes, the batteries will cost a lot up front but everything else is essentially cosmetic and will just requires your labor and some optional monetary outlay for "look good things". Get enough interested subscribers and you may even get some money from your time spent on the project. And remember, if it's pretty enough you can always get someone to pay money for it.
I actually have pretty much the same Club Car and all those batteries were dead. However, I did jumpered them off with a 12 volt charger to each 8 volt battery one at a time just to get them up to a voltage needed to use the actual Club Cart charger. And once I got them charged to a fair level, I actually drove it around the neighborhood for a while. I have plans to totally refurbish it with the Lithium battery setup and just have some fun with it. I say go for it.
Looks like theirs a lot of work besides the drive train in it, a few hundred dollars in it could make it go, if you don’t have to get new batteries, after you get your price list it could be that it’s worth it , I don’t know! But you the man when it comes to figuring these things out! I’ll be watching.
Thanks for watching and commenting! It will definitely need new batteries and some other repairs. I'm estimating somewhere around $1500 to $2000 to bring it back to life into a dependable cart.
JUNK IT! It's too old, not worth the headache(s) and expense of GC batteries. Before I retired I bought dozens and dozens of good used GC's from golf clubs for our maintenance workers to travel with their tools from one end of the shop to the other (over a half mile long) for well less than half price and they all looked and drove like brand new. Lots and lots of little thing can and probably have gone wrong with that old GC especially just setting around that you haven't even run across yet. Newer GC's have AC motors, not DC motors...much more powerful. Just my past experienced opinion!
T-bone here, thanks to everyone watching and commenting.
@RaleysSmallEngines oh Yeah!!
I had to modify the battery brackets a bit but you should have plenty of room for 4 12s. Love your content.
I'm glad you enjoy the videos! I appreciate the feedback.
My vote is to restore back to it's glory days!

Bring it back to life
It deserves to be brought back to life T-Bone style!!
@todddewell6314 😆 🤣 oh yeah 😎 Thanks for watching and commenting Todd.
Let’s goooooooooo restore
I was wondering if its any cheaper to convert it as those wet cell batteries are very expensive! 🤔
I think it needs to be brought back to life T-Bone!! Good video
Just do it! LOL. I grew up on the 16th fairway of a public golf course. Ahhh... those days of boosting golf carts that were abandoned on the back nine. We had a ton of fun joyriding until they expired completely.
Sounds like you had some fun times! We are going to get this cart running again. Thanks for commenting my friend. Hope you are doing well.
I know you were a blast to be around! 😊
Give it a Harbor freight gas engine and a old time generator that can also be used as a starter. That would be cheaper than batteries

convert it I know it will cost a bit up front but in the long run it would be better
OH, and thanks for the info , Good Luck T-Bone and Mrs - T !

LiFe Po4 would be a good up grade . Hey Mrs. T . good job .

Fix it
Get some juice in those lead boxes and a little air in those casings. Paint it orange I'll send ya the paint code😂
@@TheRustyRooster 🤣
Looks like an expensive project T-Bone, but it's good to see the back wheels move. Give it a go and get it back up and running, Hi Mrs T 👋
That's the plan! Yep gonna be expensive.
👋🏻😀
Thank you Mrs T, I know he ain’t working unless you around and filming!
😂😄Dang it, David is giving away my secrets LOL
I converted mine to a 420 Predator engine from Harbor Freight
@@pikupmn do you have any info on how you did this? You converted electric to gas?
Let it go to the golf cart heaven.
@@davidcurnutt9584 🤣 we shall see in the next episode
Looks like a money pit T-bone. But we have no problem spending your money! 😂
You're right, it's a money pit... but I love these projects
Well I don’t know Jack about golf karts, but I recently bought one, so anything you can show me here will help, mine a 36 volt cart
@@DavidLillard-j3v I will pass along all we can in the upcoming videos on this junker. Thanks for watching and commenting.
keep up the good work mrs t

i think i would take the chance on it
I would try to repower it great video tbone
Thank you Kenneth 😊
Unless you are going to use to cart around your property I would most likely junk it due to the cost of rehab.
fix it
Restore it
Gas power that thing Tbone 😊
Harbor freight engines are cheap 😊
Hmmmm. That is an interesting idea. I like it!
I'd junk it for the money involved....JMO
Fix it please
Is it worth putting $2500 into it?
Guess we will see how it goes.
Go for it , batteries cheaper than a new cart or put an engine in it
@StanleySmith-v2z Heck yeah!! Thanks for commenting Stanley 🙂
fix it t-bone
@@tattookid1313 Thanks, we are gonna try our best.
Give it to me I’ll fix it
Thanks for watching and commenting. We are going to fix it up and hopefully make a nice cart out of it. More videos to come on it.
If it basically only needs batteries then go for it.
@garyclark1135 Heck yeah, thanks Gary
If you got the time and money TBone then why not fix it,you can sell it.
Thank you Brian.
She looks like a fixer

Fix it and make it into a tool rig to go in the yard and work on mowers and to pull them instead of your good one
@jeffbridges4222 i like that idea Jeff, thanks for commenting my friend.
