1980'S CUSHMAN TRUCKSTER
Vehicle Description
198? CUSHMAN TRUCKSTER UP FOR BIDS IS A WHAT I THINK IS A 1982 CUSHMAN TRUCKSTER. IT IS POWERED BY AN ORIGINAL 2CYLINDER OMC GASOLINE ENGINE. I BOUGHT THIS CUSHMAN ABOUT 1 1/2 YEARS AGO AS A PROJECT.
AT THE TIME I BOUGHT IT, IT HAD NO IGNITION SWITCH, NO GAS TANK AND THE CLUTCH WAS BADLY SLIPPING. I STARTED THE RECONDITIONING PROCESS BY INSTALLING AN IGNITION SWITCH WHICH MADE IT A LOT EASIER TO START THAN CLICKING 2 WIRES TOGETHER. IT CRANKED AND RAN FAIRLY WELL BUT IT WAS EVIDENT IT HAD CARBURETOR PROBLEMS. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD A KIT PUT IN THE CARB AND IT SEEMS TO RUN MUCH BETTER. I REMOVED THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY AND TOOK IT TO A LOCAL CLUTCH AND DRIVE SHAFT COMPANY AND THEY RESURFACED THE CLUTCH PLATE AND REBUILT THE PRESSURE PLATE WITH HEAVY DUTY PARTS. NEW CLUTCH, NEW PRESSURE PLATE AND NEW BEARING. RUNS AND PULLS MUCH BETTER NOW. THE 3 SPEED TRANS. SHIFTS FLAWLESSLY. I PURCHASED A GAS TANK ON EBAY AND HAD A FRIEND INSTALL IT BY MAKING A CUSTOM CARRIAGE AND STRAPS TO MOUNT IT. I ALSO HAD A NEW BATTERY BOX BUILT AND INSTALLED A NEW BATTERY IN IT. MY MECHANIC DID A COMPLETE TUNEUP ON IT, INCLUDING ADJUSTING THE VALVES AND ALL THE OTHER ADJUSTMENTS TO THE ENGINE. THAT IS AS FAR AS MY REFURB PROJECT HAS GOTTEN AND I DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO CONTINUE IT. ALL OF THE LIGHTS WORK BUT THE BLINKERS DO NOT. THERE IS A NEW SENDING UNIT IN THE GAS TANK BUT NEVER GOT IT HOOKED UP TO THE GUAGE. THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK. THE TIRES HAVE DECENT TREAD BUT THERE IS A LITTLE DRY-ROT BEGINNING ON THE TIRES. MY LACK OF TIME OR LAZINESS, WHICHEVER YOU PREFER TO CALL IT, IS YOUR GOOD FORTUNE. THIS CAN BE MADE INTO A GREAT LITTLE TOY. HERE IS A LINK TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEAS OF WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH ONE OF THESE. http://www.hobbytech.com/trucksters.htm NOW YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS TRUCKSTER THAT I DO. I HAVE TRIED TO TAKE ENOUGH PICTURES BUT IF THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE YOU WANT TO SEE, CONTACT ME AND I WILL TAKE A PICTURE OF IT. THIS VEHICLE IS BEING SOND AS IS. THIS VEHICLE IS ALSO FOR SALE LOCALLY, SO I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION EARLY. YOU MAY CONTACT ME BY E-MAIL OR AT 318-272-0444 WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
