1993 Melex Cart differential problem
I have a 1993 Melex golf cart that I was told needed a differential repair. The mechanic said I need a new ring gear. He said it would be hard to find a new ring gear for a Melex. Others have said Melex parts are very obtainable. Is this kind of problem fixable? Can you use Ez-Go parts? Should I expect to pay a lot of money to fix this? I don't have much money so buying a new cart is not do-able. Thanks, dan

Re: 1993 Melex Cart differential problem
Welcome to the forum danman12................
There are plenty of older EZGO carts around that have a rearend/axle assembly that would match yours and be a lot less frustrating to change out the entire axle and be easier to get your hands on. Just food for thought. |

Re: 1993 Melex Cart differential problem
Thanks for the reply. I agree that this is the way to go. Any suggestions on how to find a rear end axle assembly to match?

Re: 1993 Melex Cart differential problem
Thank you for replying. Are you referring to the number that is stamped on top of the differential case? If so, I will grab the number tonight and post it on this forum tonight. I am potentially very interested in the Melex cart you mentioned. Where is it located? Thanks. Dan

Re: 1993 Melex Cart differential problem
Thanks for checking. I am in Gilbert, Arizona and am game to getting a part shipped if it doesn't cost TOO much. How much is TOO much is to be determined. I badly want to get the cart working rather than spending another $1500 to $2000 to buy a new one.
I am not a mechanic so I don't see myself making much progress opening the differential case and trying to figure out which gears are broken, etc. I like the idea about replacing the rear end. I guess it just comes down to finding one that lines up with my back end so it can be attached huh? Too bad we don't have a golf cart junkyard here in Arizona. |

Hi,
I'm in Arizona. I just put the word Melex into the search on Craigslist and I came up with 31 listing for it. Might be something local that would work for you. Click on this link: http://phoenix.craigslist.org/search/sss?query=melex Boo |
