Default rear end issue?

Good evening, first time cart owner here. I have been enjoying the new cart and it has been perfect so far. Last night girlfriend and my kids made a store run and barely made it back. Engine running fine, nothing coming from rearend. The clutches and everything seem to be working properly just no power transfer from rearend to axles. Fluid was a bit low but didn't take anywhere near a quart. Was just hoping for any suggestions as I will be pulling it apart asap, got to have the cart back!

Check for a stripped hub. If the axle nut(under the cap on the hub) turns, But the hub doesn't, it is likely a stripped hub spline. Very common issue. $40 repair. Check both sides. If one is stripped, the cart won't move.

Thanks man, I'll check that in the morning. I appreciate the info. It does act like it wants to move so I guess I'll just replace both sides if ones bad. It's a 2001 txt and I have been hauling a bit more weight last few weeks than before, may have been on it's last legs....

Sounds like a hub. When you put them back on, don't be gentle. I think it says like 140 ft lbs. also if you are going to do both, look into the Ausco replacement hubs from a vendor. 2126 I believe is the part number

Didn't get a chance to check today, working nights, but will be on it manana. Any vendors recommended to start looking for the ausco parts? I looked at mr carts website last night for diagrams but couldn't really find a good exploded view. Do they come in an entire rear hub assembly, brakes and all?

Okay, was a hub, found part locally at a rental cart place and back in action. Thanks for the advice. ten minute job if I would have slacked the brakes first!

Nice. Glad it wasn't inside transaxle.
