I notice it takes a little bit of a delay to get the 14PB pushmower rolling. I see the belt spinning but the mower itself hesitates at first and then during mowing on and off. seems to be worse in 4th or 5th.

I mowed some very tall thick grass yesterday and it worked enough for me to make it through but I dont think its 100% . I sold off my other mowers to keep this one cause I like it. now just need to be prepared to work on tranny. or is it the belt. or something else ?

check out the ring gear in side your mower wheels for wear . I tried to use toro wheels on my craftsman and they make it seem as if the belt is slipping or the wheels have a lot of binding . I suppose the ring gear inside these wheels are different teeth. I take the toro wheels off all a sudden no binding and no slip of the belt.
