1995 EZO Medalist Making Grinding Noise and Doesn't Move

New to the site so thanks for any info you can offer. I have a 1995 EZGO Medalist that was running. Batteries are new and motor appears to be operating properly. While on a ride I came to a stop. When I tried to start again it started making a grinding/spinning sound but the cart doesn't move. I was originally thinking it was a gear issue in the differential or transmission but now thinking it could be a spindle. Your thoughts?

Check the rear hubs/brake drums and you'll more than likely find the splines are stripped in one of them. Welcome to Cartaholics. :hattip:

No problem, you're welcome. When you replace the drum make sure you tighten them to 100 ft lbs then continue tightening until the cotter key hole lines up in the castle nut.
