Well, a while back I was on GSA auctions and got this cool little taylor dunn electric cart, up from the goverment storage mine up in boyers.
It was cool put to long, so many 1970's 6v lead acids, and it used a huge wiper arm potenimeter for the throttle, it was like a little arc welder under the seat! It also tries to go and do a reliant robin So it needs digital controls, smaller batteries, onboard charger, and a tail end fork truck
So let the electric cart build begin!
What I started with
It was 36volts with a 1.5 to 5hp electric motor mounted on a cut downford 9" rear end actually (could use it for something else later)
Being I ripped all the older batteries cables out I had to get creative with some vise grips and scrap steel, Giant arc inducing throttle to the right.
But its too long! Time to bob it!
That's better!
Got around to installing the batteries I grabbed some walmart after the M&G at QS&L
I'll finish the wiring tomorrow, need to get more battery lugs and a harbor freight battery disconnect.
This is what I'm planning for it in the end, to weld up a hitch to the rear to attach a mast from a fork truck. I have this die loader cart for mocking up, but am looking for a electric walkbehind forklift to make a tail lift fork truck.
