sparks fly

No I'm not a Taylor Swift fan! I have an 83 electric EZ Go that sees a lot of use around the farm toting tools, parts, and me. This is my first cart, and I've been very happy with it so far. I know that I need to do some performance work on it, but I haven't got the wife talked into it yet. Well, yesterday we overloaded it pretty good. I have a receiver hitch tube welded on the back frame so that I can pull a small craftsman trailer with. Yesterday I had it pulling feed with that trailer in the chicken houses. I had been trying to make sure and not load it down too much, but I guess it was doing too good and got me over confident in it. Because I filled that little trailer to the brim, and wound up burning up a wire or two. There is one wire with all of the insulation burnt off, and the post that it goes to was glowing cherry red. What all do I need to do before I get back on it? New wires? Is the battery gone? Any other advice?

well your gunna have to see if you can even get the nut off that post before you decide anything...def replace that wire and make sure all others are tight.

I really haven't even looked. I just got it out of the way, and went right back to work. I should have time to look at it Thursday.
