LTX1040 slows uphill - drive belts replacement
 

Hi, I like this forum for helping me with the deck issues. Now, please advise on why my Cub Cadet slows to a stop going uphill. model 13RX90AR056
1. I have never replaced the two drive belts so I will do that. Traction drive belt seems to be likely?
2. What else should I look at for possible reasons the tractor struggles to maintain speed going up any hill. I get up the hill by pushing the right pedal down and releasing each time the mower slows.
3. Is there an adjustment to check that may tighten the belts?

Thanks.
