Default engine runs transmission won't engage

I have a 1989 EZGO 2 cycle gasser. Rebuilt the engine last year and last night my wife was using it and it stopped moving. Took a look and I can see the clutch engage the transmission as I power it up. Makes a grinding noise in the transmission. Any ideas where to start?

First check for a stripped hub (pretty common), look at the middle of both rear wheels and see if either axle is spinning.

Yep,

Axel is spinning. I am going to pull it apart and see what it looks like.

Thanks

Just pulled it and the hub was shot. Who do you recommend ordering from online?

You could give this guy a call, he does a lot of good around here.

and ask him what the torque specs are, they have to be pretty tight.
