It's possible I may regret doing this, but I've decided to fix up a very rough EX GO Cushman Electric Truck. I posted a couple of questions in a previous thread about the drive system. Apparently, it's a Series Drive; a workhorse, but not built for speed. That is exactly what I needed so here goes. I'll post a few pictures of my progress.
Apparently, this thing started out as a fleet vehicle in some kind of chemical warehouse here in Texas. Looks like something from the salty roads of the snowy northeast.
The box is good for scrap metal. The battery trays were pretty much gone and most of the steel on this thing was falling apart. Surprisingly, the two rails that make up the base of the frame are in surprisingly good shape.
Looking it over, I noticed that the front springs were mismatched - one was a two-leaf and one was a three-leaf. And the right side sprig was snapped in half, just behind the front axle.
I noticed that the steering center link was rubbing on the lower steering arm. A closer look revealed that the front axle was bent, right under the right side spring plate.
