Re: Bought another cart - need help
Next question - I'm trying to order the right part. The brake drum I can find is listed for a 82 - 86. Is this the same that will fit my 79? The only one listed for a 79 says it is for keyed axels and ours are splined. I just want to make sure I get the right thing.
Thanks for all the help. |

Re: Bought another cart - need help
I am not an expert, but I have a 79 as well and my axles are definitely keyed. I did a lot of research and looking for keyed drums and everything I found is that on gassers from 76-80 they had keyed axles/drums, from 81-88 they had splined axles.
If the cart is definitely a 79, by the model numbers in the front, then maybe someone swapped out the rear end with a newer one. This is what I was trying to do as well. As for the splined axles, I believe I found that there were 2, a large spline and small spline. Again, I am not exactly sure, but I think EZGO used the small spline on the electric carts and the larges spline on the gas. I hope this helps. If you do confirm the cart is a 79, by the model numbers, with a newer rear end, please let me know. I just posted a question last night in another thread, "old school clutch problems" asking if a newer rear end (81-8 can be used in the older model cart. It seems the 81-88 has the same clutches by the replacement part numbers, so I thought the rear end may be similar as well (exept for the the axles, which should not matter). |

Re: Bought another cart - need help
I did the look up by VIN and it gives me a manufacture date of November 1979. I guess being that late in the year it could be considered an 80's model cart. I don't know that much about carts. Anyway, it definitely has splined axles not keyed. I can post some pics if you would like so you can compare to what you have.

Re: Bought another cart - need help
Does this look like it could be the problem?
I think this is supposed to be splined and round. What do you think? |

Re: Bought another cart - need help
What are the numbers/letters on the Model on the tag in the front right (near where the glove box would be on a car)?
Either way, from what I have found the 79 and 80 should be the same. |

Re: Bought another cart - need help
As for the pics, yes I agree, that drum is splined and should be round.
How about your axles, are they splined or keyed? If they are keyed, then they would look smooth with a key way cut into the smooth surface (no splines). If the axle is keyed, maybe someone put on the wrong drum and that is why it is rounded out. |

Re: Bought another cart - need help
the axles are splined as well. The serial no. is 79E22. It may have a newer rearend under it. Like I said, I don't know that much about carts, but between this one and our 92 Yamaha, we're learning a lot.
