    Help identifying mystery parts & pictures of my new golf cart

    A guy dropped these off with me and said that they were dies. I've never seen anything like them. I have a feeling I can get more than scrap on ebay if I know what they are! I don't see any damage to them.





    And here's an old 1977 Club Car Caroche I picked up for $50. I plan on getting it working and running around the neighborhood with the fam.




    Thanks for the help!

    No clue on the dies but nice find on the cart. My kid and his buddy recently bought one for $150...cleaned up the body, built a utility bed on the back and got it running decent. Sold it to a rancher for $1000.

    pore some liquid hot magma into them and see what pops out

    Nice cart, hook a small trailer to it and use it to pick-up scrap on garbage night. Save on gas.

    Yep! They are crimping dies for hydraulic hoses alright. I just looked them up on ebay. I'll put them on there for a little more than scrap and I'm sure they'll sell. Thanks for the help Brandon!

    On a side note, I traded an old '72 Honda CB350 motorcycle for these. The guy said he would trade the bike for a pickup load full of scrap and I said okay. I got these which should cover what I would have gotten for scrapping the bike plus a few batteries, a few computer towers, two big industrial shop fans w/ motors, a ton of cast aluminum motorcycle engine parts, a lot of wiring and a lot more. I'd say I got the better end of the deal but he got the bike he wanted so we both won. May be something to think about for all you guys out there. If there's a niche for something you have, rather than scrap it, trade scrap FOR it! I lucked out on my deal; maybe you will too!
