The Kawasaki FJ400D gas engine in this Cushman is the right call for any property where reliable, low-maintenance transport matters more than a charging schedule. This is a factory stretch unit — extended wheelbase and frame are Cushman OEM, not aftermarket — giving you three full rows of forward-facing passenger seating plus a rear bench that converts flat for cargo. Move eight people to the parking lot, flip the rear seat, move equipment across the property on the way back. That dual-use flexibility is what makes this platform work for golf courses, wineries, resorts, event venues, churches, senior facilities, and anyone running a large property with spread-out grounds. It’s fun to drive and the Kawasaki powertrain has a well-earned reputation for dependable, low-fuss operation.
This specific unit was originally commissioned for the 2012 London Olympics, then put to daily work by Mesilla Valley Estate Sales shuttling customers between estate sales and offsite parking — exactly the kind of repetitive, loaded, stop-and-go service this platform was built for. In 2020 it received a full factory maintenance kit service before being retired from the fleet and has fewer than 10 hours on it since. Recently tested: starts clean, runs without smoke or odor, forward and reverse engage, brakes functional.

Service & History:
This unit was originally commissioned for the 2012 London Olympics and subsequently served in daily commercial passenger transport for Mesilla Valley Estate Sales. In 2020, prior to retiring it from active fleet service, Mesilla Valley’s maintenance staff performed a full service using a factory maintenance kit. The cart has been driven fewer than 10 hours since that service and then garaged. It has been recently tested: engine starts, runs without smoke or abnormal odor, forward and reverse engage correctly, and brakes are functional.
The Kawasaki FJ400D series used in Cushman people movers is a proven small commercial engine. Given the low use since the 2020 factory kit service, mechanical fundamentals are in good standing. Buyers should still verify fuel system condition (carburetor jets and fuel lines are susceptible to varnish after extended low-use storage) and perform a battery load test prior to returning the unit to regular service.
