Golf Cart Converted To Garden Tool Carrier
“Necessity may be the mother of invention, but for me it was mostly laziness,” says Robert Lord, Keysville, Ga., who modified his golf cart to carry up to 7 different garden tools.
  Lord operates a 5-acre farm with a vineyard and a lot of flowers and fruit trees. “I got tired of walking back to my shop all the time to get tools, especially since I have 2 artificial knees which bother me frequently. So when I saw a used golf cart for sale I bought it to haul stuff on the back,” he says. “However, it didn’t work too well because the tools kept falling off. My garden tool carrier keeps everything secure.”
  He removed the nylon strap from the top of the compartment on back of the cart that’s designed to hold golf clubs in place, then cut a 5 1/2-in. wide, 27-in. long, 1/2-in. thick board to fit inside the compartment and bolted it in place of the straps. He also cut a 6-in. wide, 22-in. long board to fit inside the bottom compartment about 5 in. off the floor. The board is held in place by 3 L-shaped metal brackets that screw into the side of the cart. A hole cutter was used to cut 7 matching holes in both boards that support the tool handles.
  “The cart came with a wire basket located between the seat and golf bag compartment, and I use it to store knee pads, rags, pieces of rope, etc.”
