I have read every post I can find on this issue and still unclear on the problem. Cart stopped moving and was making a terrible grinding noise. With the cart on the ground, the wheels will not turn and the caster nut does not spin. With the cart jacked up, the wheels will turn and continues to make the grinding noise. We acquired this used cart and have never changed the differential fluid. We have not yet checked the splines to see if they have worn down, but I’m assuming this is the problem. What is the easiest way to check this AND is there anything else that could be causing this issue that I haven’t mentioned?
