Craftsman drive ???

[azmntman]

I have a 26 hp, 54"garden tractor.
Just replaced all belts.
I am noticing a loss of speed when going.
I found out it's the clutch pedal. Having to hold it back to keep full speed.
I haven't found any diagrams that show what could be causing it to creep forward.
Any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks in advance for the help.

For specific instructions we need the model numbers from the tag under the seat
Generic information
1) Belt too long
2) spring missing or anchored at the wrong place.

Double check closely the belt routing. Might be a belt guard/keeper rod that is on the wrong side of the belt holding the belt off the pulley some, and hard to see under there.
