Mower runs good, but the self propelled has stopped working, I can tilt the mower with the front wheels up off the ground, the wheels will turn, but kind of slow, when I set the mower back on ground level it will never mover forward, the belt moves and the front pulley spins, could it be a worn belt or something in the drive???

I would start by replacing the belt, common problem.

Thank You, have looked a changing the belt but not sure how to do it, can I just remove the front pulley and remove it from around the blade, or do I need to remove the blade to get it out from the main shaft??

It is easier to change if you remove the blade.
