Hello everyone!! I'm new here and don't really have a complete golf cart. What i have is what my grandkids named it several years ago a "Gizmo ". lol
I was told by the guy that built it years ago that it "may be" a Yamaha G9 frame. The steering was froze and when i took the cover off it didn't have anything inside of it and was clean with no signs of grease. I did find some rust at the bottom of the shaft and bearing had rust so i sprayed PB Blaster and it finally freed up and works smooth now. I spotted what looked like a plug in the bottom of the gear box but when I tried to loosen it it broke off. So #1 what should be inside the box and #2 i am thinking i can JB Weld the broken piece back. Thanks for your input. I will post some pics later.

We'd need more information on what the chassis actually is. Does it have coilover shocks on the front? Can you post a picture of the golf cart? Welcome to Cartaholics.

Thanks for the welcome HotRodCarts yes it has coil over shocks on the front. I'll post pictures tomorrow but keep in mind it has no body on it.

He's some pictures. Don't laugh everything starts somewhere. Believe it or not this thing ran for several years. I was thinking about putting a small ATV motor so it would have reverse but the sprocket is on the wrong side so I'm open for suggestions. 20200823_190854.jpg

It had a Kohler gas engine i think it was a 8hp. I still have it but it needs rebuilt with a old type clutch like a mini bike had. Tags are faded so i can't be sure of the size but i think it said 8hp.
