G16 Rear Wheel Issue

[Mike D]

I’m finally getting back into working on my cart, and while checking things I noticed a problem. With the rear jacked up and the cart in forward or reverse, the right rear wheel is very difficult to turn. It’s barely moving by hand, and running the cart makes the wheel move in short jerky motions. In neutral, the wheel turns fine. I pulled the brake drum to make sure the brakes weren’t stuck, and the hub can barely be turned. There is a licking feeling when I turn the hub. I replaced the axle bearings a few years ago, so I’m hoping that’s not the issue. While driving, you can feel the extra load on the engine. Any help is greatly appreciated.
