Power but no speed

I have a Castlegarden XSPW57 MS self-propelled lawnmower. This is what it looks like ... https://electromenagers.org/en/trimmer/5232-castelgarden-xspw-57-mbs.html

It's a simple enough machine. My problem is the drive speed - it has become very slow - it takes forever to cut the lawn.

There is plenty of cutting power when the throttle is extended and the power does get to the drive wheels - but it just travels too slow.

Is this likely to be a gearbox problem or should I investigate elsewhere ?

This is the exploded view of drive ... https://www.partsharp.com/spare-par...w57mbs/xspw57mbs/81097f42-e542-41fe-a369.aspx

Check if there is any debris and also take one of the self propelled wheels out and see if the teeth on it are worn.
 
Looks like a Toro Recycler clone. Adjust the drive cable first if it has one in SMALL STEPS. Belt wouldn't hurt if it's a coupe years old or more.
