2013 drive and I believe

k_aimone

I have a 2013 drive and I believe the motor has given up on me. Is there a way to test to see if is indeed the motor.

I think it is because of these reasons

1. It has a alltrax 400 with upgraded solenoid on stock motor and cables. It has been running like that for over a year.

2. Recently when starting off slow I would get a faint clicking sound and it would go away once I reached a steady speed. That sound was coming from the area of the motor, but I never got to look into it. Now I do dog this thing out and it gets plenty of use to include log climbs up hill.

3. No matter the position of the tow switch there is no resistance when I try to push it. I dont know why this is, but you had to give it everything to move it an inch with the switch in run and the key on.

I was wondering if there is something to check to see if it is indeed the motor. When I hit the pedal I can hear the solenoid click, just nothing happens.

I have a multimeter I am just not sure what to check.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Ciao.

Take the motor off, the smell will tell you all you need to know!

The stock Hitachi motor is pretty weak and it is easy to kill it with a higher amp controller. I learned that the hard way and I now have a D&D motor. I added a temperature probe to the motor near the brushes and the D&D runs nice and cool with the same setup that killed the Hitachi motor.
