I was high bidder on this cushman truck. I pulled it into my shop and will start working on it. I know the battery is dead. I also need to drain the fuel system and put new gas in it.
Loved by zoo employees and meter maids everywhere. Looking at your photos, it appears you have a starter/generator. I've worked on a few of them and sometimes getting the brushes for them can be interesting.
Many cities use them as meter maid trucks and here in ca they are considered a motorcycle. My boss' will do about 30 but hang on! Much better used at slow speeds ticketing parking violators
I believe single cyl Magnums are pretty close to the previous gen Kohler K-series. Must be a late 1980's model Cushman?
I have a serial number on the bill of sale and the manuals but I have not found the serial badge yet. I hope to be able to age the unit once I can verify via the badge. The engine looks to be added recently.

Very cool that u got manuals!
I'm not sure yet. I can always use it on my acreage. I was thinking of setting it up as a "sporting clay's" cart. It would probably not fit in with all of the "rangers" and "razors" that dominate the range though.
I was able to clean out the fuel tank, blow the lines and cleaned the carb, installed battery and new plug this evening. I got it running. I have run into some more issues. I hope to work on fixing the problems as they come up until I have the cushman in top running order.
We had several different models that were used on the Marine base, but not that model. We had a couple 3 wheeled police models with the higher geared rear end, 3 speed transmission and a horizontally opposed OMC twin. Those were capable of 55mph but just barely.
I had the three wheel version and had to tag it as a motorcycle for street use. 40 MPH was top end. I do miss it. You will like having it around the place.
