Check to make sure the brake drums/hubs are not spinning on the axle splines. get someone to sit on the cart and run the engine while holding down the brake pedal. then look at the large nut in the middle of each rear wheel. if one is spinning you need a new brake drum / hub for that side. If this is your problem, when you tighten up the nut on rebuild, you need around 90 - 130 ft lb of torque, do the nut up till the split pin hole lines up with a slot in the nut. Do NOT undo the nut to make it line up, just keep going tighter till you can get the pin in.

If all is good here and the selector is shifting ok, then you may have a broken axle or the transaxle is shot and needs a rebuild.
