Mower Bogging Down

#1

I have a Hustler Fastrak with a 26 hp kawasaki and 600 hrs. About one hour into mowing, it starts to bog down like the mower deck is clogged, but its not. I have checked the deck and the spindles and nothing seems to be restricted. I have cleaned the fuel tank, changed the fuel filter and I still have the problem. It is somewhat erradic. If I stop and let it set for awhile, then it performs fine.
Basically the mower will still mow, but it slows down like it is stressed.
I hate to just start replacing parts.
Could it be a spindle, however they all spin well and seem to be ok. I was thinking it could be the clutch.
Any ideas??
