Description
Replacement Electric Golf Cart Motor for 36V 19-Spline Carts
Need a replacement motor for an older 36V electric golf cart? This 19-spline electric golf cart motor, part number 170-505-0001, is designed as an OE-spec direct replacement for select older 36V cart applications.
This motor is a great choice if your original motor is weak, tired, noisy, or no longer operating correctly and you want a dependable replacement without turning the cart into a full performance build. It provides approximately 10% speed enhancement and 10% torque enhancement over a standard factory-style motor, making it a solid mild upgrade while keeping drivability close to stock.
Because this motor fits several older applications, the spline count and cart setup must be confirmed before ordering.
This motor is best suited for:
- Older 36V electric golf carts
- Carts using a 19-tooth internal spline motor
- Replacing a worn, weak, or failed motor
- Stock or mostly stock cart setups
- Light neighborhood, golf course, or property use
- Customers wanting a mild improvement over factory performance
- Applications where easy replacement is the priority
This is not the best option for maximum speed, steep hills, oversized tires, towing, or heavy utility use. For those builds, a high-torque motor or matched motor/controller package may be a better fit.
Performance Expectations
This motor is designed as a direct replacement with a mild performance upgrade. Your current listing notes the following approximate performance:
- Approximate vehicle speed: 18 MPH+
- Speed enhancement: Approx. 10%
- Torque enhancement: Approx. 10%
- Motor RPM: 3200 RPM
- HP: 3.2 HP
- Spline: 19-tooth
- Spline pitch: 24/48
Actual performance can vary based on battery condition, tire size, tire pressure, controller setup, terrain, passenger weight, mechanical condition, and overall cart setup.
Fits
This motor is designed for select older 36V electric golf cart applications using a:
- 19-tooth internal spline
- 24/48 spline pitch
Because this motor is used across several older cart applications, please confirm your motor spline and cart configuration before ordering.

Before You Order
Golf cart motor compatibility depends on more than just voltage. Before ordering, please verify:
- Your cart is a compatible older electric golf cart application
- Your cart is a 36V electric model
- Your original motor uses a 19-tooth internal spline
- Your spline pitch/application matches this motor
- Your batteries, controller, solenoid, wiring, and cables are in good working condition
- Your cart does not require a different motor style, spline, or rotation configuration
If you are not sure which motor your cart needs, contact us before ordering. Photos of your existing motor tag, motor shaft/spline, controller area, battery setup, and cart serial number can help us confirm the correct replacement.
Important Performance Notes
This motor is designed as a reliable replacement and mild upgrade, not a maximum-performance motor.
For carts with oversized tires, heavy rear seats, cargo boxes, steep hills, towing needs, or high-speed expectations, we may recommend a different motor or a complete motor/controller package instead.
Shipping Note
Motors typically ship within 5–10 business days from the manufacturer.
Shipping times may vary based on manufacturer availability, production schedules, and order volume.
