Engine is great. Has no or little power in high range ,would not back up in trailer when I bought it . Worked ok in low range.

One of the axle hubs is loose.   Put a crayon mark across both hub and axle, try to drive it in high range, see if the marks moved.  :techie-eureka:

Will do when I get it out of the garage. 

If that is the case , why is it OK in low range ?

:WRS:           Take a look at the drive belt, it may be the problem.

Jacked it up this afternoon, right rear was at housing and would turn independently . Removed tire , removed hub, cleaned shaft and hub, and replaced all , setting the set bolts tight and jam nuts . Still have slippage and the belt is as tight as the one on my C125 . Did not check pulley on transmission .

What next ?

Is the engine mounted on a cradle?  Mine was and my belt was tight and it still slipped in higher gears.  I replace the rubber mounts with solid mounts.  Before I did that I jammed plywood shims between the cradle and cradle mount to immobilize the cradle to make sure that was my problem.
