20+ year old machine here.
If they have a sandy soil, for sure all pulleys are shot.

Look at your rear wheel bushings, I'm reading thats a problem with the Honda
My Honda pushmower isn't propelling the best either, went to look at belt replacement and found talk about bushing seized.

Just a thought, you stated the machine was designated as an HXA- so it's a hydrostatic drive? If so, shouldn't the transmission oil be changed after 20 years? From what I have seen, as the hydrostatic transmission oil degrades the drive becomes slower and weaker.
Manual states that transmission oil needs to be changed every 1000hrs, which seems to me a bit on the longer side.

Looked over everything again yesterday. Tugged one the belt- pulley turns, The cable moves properly. Metal pulley is shiney so can't tell if worn. What I don't understand if that it worked great for 2 mows after I changed the belt and cable. What could have changed??
If the parts book is correct that is a hrdrostatic transmission. Have you checked the oil level? There is a spring that pulls the transmission back to tighten the belt, is the transmission free to rotate? Are the axle bearings getting tight? Is the pulley slipping on the crankshaft (doubt it)?
Unfortunately I think your transmission is failing as it works good cold but fails as it warms up.
There was an issure with the cable and when it was replaced the operating arm on the trabsmission had to be replaced, but that may have been a different model.
