Electric Golf Cart Does Snow Plowing
 ✖  |
I got tired of taking the mower deck off my Murray lawn tractor every fall and putting on the snow plow for the winter. So I converted an old electric golf cart to do my snow plowing and to grade my driveway. I made an angle iron bracket and bolted it onto the frame under the hood. The snow blade bolts onto this bracket with two bolts, so it takes only a couple of minutes to mount the blade. But it's so handy that I never take it off.
I made a couple of other modifications to the golf cart. I removed all the golf bag holding brackets on back and replaced them with a wood dump bed. The dump bed measures 3 ft. square with 4-in. high sides and is manually raised. I use it to store hammers, nails, screws, clippers, and garden tools, etc.
I also added a trailer hitch bar on back of the golf cart that lets me pull a garden cart originally designed to be pulled behind the lawn tractor. My wife uses it to pick up sticks and leaves around our yard and haul them to our compost pile.
