You might try lubricating the pulley bushings / bearings and that might get you by this year's mowing season. Then you can spend all winter looking for parts and repair it. Could be the variable speed pulleys binding.
 
Are both of your drive belts the right size it sounds like you back belt is to small

not sure if belts are right, ill try partstree. I wish there was a way to get at it a little better. Now if I take that variable speed pulley off I should be able to see the operation of it right? And also, when at a stop the belt should be all the way down? , the pulley closes as it goes faster right. Thanks for the help
