Hello everyone, my old wheel horse seems to slip going up hills, is there any belt adjustment? Or should belt be replaced from stretching? I think the belts original. Thanks

No belt adjustments that i know of. I would check the clutch spring to make sure it is pulling back all the way and putting tension on your belt.

Thanks, thought about that spring, maybe change that first and see if it helps.

Check the hub keys and the tranny drive pulley key.   One of these three may have sheared.  It will still drive OK under low load, but slip under higher load.
