Looking for lubrication points, specs

tazassape · 12-21-2010, 08:38 AM

We bought a 1992 Marathon for my parents. It has been sitting for a year in the weather, batteries junk, etc. Cleaned it up, installed fresh batteries and it is running pretty good. I know it needs more attention so I was wanting to lube the steering and running gear. (Steering both ways is really stiff.) I can find most of the zerks but I don't want to miss any since this cart sat for so long. I looked on the jacobsen site but the list doesn't have a marathon on it. Does someone have a diagram? Suggestion, advice? Thanks

Keeping in mind that not all golf carts are created equal...

My EZGO TXT manual says to only add 3 pumps of lube to each of the joints.

Lubed everything I could find. Some hadn't seen grease in decades. The steering is still "tight". Any ideas? We will keep driving it in the hopes it will loosen up some. Gonna be a Christmas present for my parents.

According to my service manual covering years '89-'93 there are 8 grease fittings. 7 on the front steering linkages and 1 on the steering box itself (in the pax compartment above the brake pedal. I always forget about that one. FWIW the steering on '91 Marathon is very light. Noticeably lighter than my much newer TXT.
