Finally started on something I've been wanting to do for years tonight-a coal oraling golf cart. Donor vehicle is a worn out kubota G4200 garden tractor I stumbled across for $100 that runs flawlessly, has a Z430 2 cylinder 12hp engine that is the perfect size. The victim is a 92 Club Car DS I bought out of my next door neighbors cart junkyard complete with body and already with gas engine removed. Going to paint it up to match my 2.5 truck. I also found a small turbo for it off of a wrangler mini payloader that just happens to be the same mounting flange as my little exhaust manifold! I have come to the conclusion tonight that I need to lift the cart slightly to make clearance under the seat for the tall little engine, 2-4" should be more than sufficient. Most of the tractor wiring harness will be transplanted over so I have the glow plug controller and wiring for the electric fuel pump already done for me.
Took a whopping 20 minutes to get it pulled
From its old home
Lowered it into place to see how it looked, going to cut the frame apart on the tractor and weld the front rails to the engine cradle on the cart to mount the engine, using the original shock mounts and everything.
Need to turn up a adapter to replace the old PTO pulled that bolted on the flywheel with the factory club car clutch, once I get this done I'll know right where the engine has to sit and can mount it.
