Thanks for tip with the brushes, next time I take apart a starter motor I'll try the spring thing. It's a major struggle otherwise.

Nice fix, I worked at an urban state university for many years and we used gasoline then electric carts for the engineering and trades vehicles. They would replace motors after so many hours on them, the fork lift repair guys would do it. They did it in our building and I watched them replace bearings in a motor once instead of replacing it. Was larger motor but basically the same job 👍

And now I know more about a Club Car than I did before!

Dont want to alarm you but it sounds like a tornado is headed you way... Good video man thank you

I work on electric motors blah, blah etc. couple of suggestions. Yes the bearing fit on the shaft needs to be tighter, you can knurl it or use loctite. In your hot and dusty climate I would suggest using 2RS (two rubber seals) bearings.

🇦🇺👍enjoyable video repair

Are there brushless motors for those? It could be fun to have a little bit too much power on that sort of a vehicle.

To make the shaft tighter in the bearing you can use locktight

You might be able to get the other motor running true again with some very thin shim stock, or a bearing with a smaller inner diameter.

Armature spins, stater stays still and goes around the armature. That was the first piece you took off.

"Shield, end" with part number 1017944. Do you know where I can get one of these? Also is their a rebuild kit that has everything I need to rebuild and that is a quality. Two of the lug studs broke off. Cart ended up having a lot of rust on everything. Was going to replace leaf springs since it looks like I need to drop the whole rear end.

Bearings are cheap. Replace the bearing with quality new one!!!!!
