hi im new to restoring wheel horses and i bought a wheel horse 655 and it is in great condition. it runs good on the flat but when im going up a lil hill or in the yard it acts like its not grabbing the gears to move or it barly moves. what should i check first?

If you pull back on the clutch pedal with your foot while going uphill will it do better? If so it needs either a new clutch spring or a new drive belt (stretched out).

Pulling the pedal back tells you that either the spring or belt is shot, doesnt matter if its on flat or uphill terrain. Dont be fooled by a good lookin belt as it could be the wrong length. Get under the machine and give the spring a look-see. It might be to long and not giving you the tension you need. There is nothing inside the manual gearboxes that can "slip", so its not your gearbox.

Thanks for your help. i took a look and it just seems that the belt is just slipping. going to grab a new drive belt and it will be good as new :)
