Re: 1984 36V Marathon
Broke the nut free. I cut it off, damaged the bolt some. I think the wires to the bolt were broken in the process somewhere along the way. If it's too expensive I'm junking it and getting a gasser.

Re: 1984 36V Marathon
2g cables won't do anything for a "resistor cart" (the part glowiig red), the resistors are the limiting factor. It might help with "full throttle power", but the wiper board will likely be next to fry. The way a resistor cart needs to be treated is misunderstood by most. Only use the first steps as little as needed. Get going, then migrate towards full throttle (where the resistors are bypassed, and full power is sent). The resistor cart hates "creeping around" at less than full speed. It "wastes the extra power" in the resistor coils when creeping around at low speed (and has been known to set a field on fire). This is why a stock "resistor" cart is really bad with upgrade motors, or lift kits and big tires.
[Fun times: I once parked a resistor coil cart with a welded solenoid (stuck on) over my air hose laying on the floor in the shop, it made enough heat to cause the air line to melt and burst, oops, now we have reels from the ceiling, which are great] |

Re: 1984 36V Marathon
Why, you have the longitudinal axle? If you decide to try it, contact Luna Rebuilders, they do stuff for lots of things that "don't exist" anymore. Might be able to help for hard to find parts. Now days they are a branch of the evil Nivel empire, but they still have their shop for odd stuff. They used to do radiators and gas tanks for the unobtainable.

The ScottyB retrofit kit? If you fancy yourself doing brushes, you can bolt that in...

Re: 1984 36V Marathon
I got the motor off and took it apart. Brushes look worn uneven. I also broke another bolt even though I was super careful and used WD-40 and even let it soak and sprayed again before removal process. But this bolt is on the armature, and still connected to the wire. I think its salvageable. Any pointers? Anything else I might want to replace at this point?
