Drive belt would be a good first step.

Tell us what model you have and we can point you in the right direction, not all Wheel Horses are identical.

The model number will help us determine the problem and how to fix it.    Drive belt is a start.

 

Wow, that Richard is quick.   I guess old geezers think alike.

Ok. Drive belt is good, I wanna say it's an early 80's tractor. I can't find the model number on it 

It kinda wants to move but not really .

i did add a picture of it, hopefully it helps 

It will lift the blower tho.

Next place to check is the pulley and key on the input shaft of the transmission.  Possible missing bolt, set screw or key.

Is your transmission oil filled up to the mark on the dipstick?

Is the drive belt tensioner pushing the belt down to tighten it?

Draw a line across the rear hub and axle on both sides then attempt to drive the tractor, stop and look at the lines. If one of the lines is no longer aligned then the axle key or the hub is broken.

Hope this helps.

Do check to see if either the keyway in the hub or the keyseat in the axle are wallowed out... if so, just replacing the woodruff key is not a long term fix.

Good ones should they are a common key  but these days you never know what stores stock

ACE Hardware should have them.

Looks like a 1978 or 1979 model. Fuel tank under the seat.

Engine horse power with hydro transmission will identify the model number.

Hey neighbor, you should be able to find what you need at ACE or even TSC possibly.

[lumbert scott 22]

It's all good now guy's  Thanks again

Hey neighbor , Good to see yer still around 

[8ntruck 8,302]

I didn't notice your location.  Bush hardware in Sheridan should have them.
