SOURCE: removing tractor deck to change belt and blades?
if i am thinking of the right model you may be able to get away with first taking off the blade, then to remove the deck should be a number of bolts under the chassis and on top of the deck where it meets the frame... you can get your parts here if your having trouble finding them

SOURCE: V groove pulley slipped off of harmonic balancer of 1999 Grand Am
After checking around, I decided to replace the harmonic balancer. I had a repair shop fix it for me and I think they over charged for the part. But, at least I'm on the road again. This Grand Am has 227,000 miles and still runs pretty good.

SOURCE: Airens Zoom 1944 ZTR Blades Slow Down In Bahaia Grass
You mention many PM issues but do not mention a blade sharpening. I don't get on my ZTR without a freshly honed blade installed. "That's" what cuts bahia grass...the blade. You can put all the horsepower you want behind the lade but if you're trying to cut grass with a 2X4 it rips more than cuts grass.
SOURCE: Hoover WindTunnel Self-Propelled V Belt
I had this same problem with the V belt on my Hoover Vaccuum.
There are three (3) basic things that will cause the brush roll not to spin.
1. When handle is upright, brush roll is OFF.
2. When switch is set for HARD surface, brush roll is OFF.
3. Broken/worn FLAT belt or V Belt, brush roll will not spin.
I noticed that the brush roll was not spinning when my vacuum was set for CARPET. After removing the cover I noticed that the V belt was loose, I thought the belt was worn so I purchased a correct replacement belt and installed it, but the new belt was also loose and when I turned the large flat belt pulley it did not turn the V belt pulley at the same time.
I double checked the surface setting and I had the vacuum switch set for carpet, but still when I released the handle out of the upright position the brush roll would still not spin.
My aggravation finally led me to this posting on FixYa's website.
The first thing I did was checked the screw to the left of the V belt as suggested by ejmjr5 and this did nothing to solve the problem or create more tension on the V belt, even when the upright handle was not in the upright position.
After playing around with the surface setting control switch/nob I notice that when I moved the switch out of the HARD surface setting and over to CARPET, I had thought that the switch was set for CARPET as it visually appeared, but I was not pushing the switch over hard enough to click it into the CARPET setting mode.
VOILA, the brush roll now spins correctly even though the V belt seams to be too loose for the pulley.
You really have to force the switch into the CARPET setting. Be sure that you hear the switch/nob click into place.
Now you can effectively clean up after that hangover of a party!
Burp!
Some self-propelled mowers include a speed control, but sometimes it may seem that no matter how you adjust it, the mower just creeps along at a snail's pace. Most likely this isn't a mechanical malfunction, but an adjustment is probably needed.
Very tall or thick grass can bog down a self-propelled mower, but adjusting the height of the blade may allow it to roll through and cut the grass at normal speeds. If the blade is low, the amount of cutting required may slow down the movement of the entire mower. The frame of the mower may also stick in the high grass. Raise the blade little by little until the mower rolls at the appropriate speed. Going up hills may cause a similar response.
It's possible the drive belt on the mower can slip. Inspect this part to see if it is loose or cracked, and replace the belt to restore power.
Unplug the vacuum cleaner and turn it upside down, flat on the floor, with the roller brush facing up.
Remove the the bottom cover plate from the vacuum by prying it off gently with a screwdriver blade. Set aside the cover plate.
If the old belt is broke, remove it by pulling the belt from underneath the roller bush. If the belt is not broken but simply worn out, and is still attached, cut it off with scissors.
Remove the roller brush by lifting both ends from the grooved slots in the housing of the vacuum cleaner.
Cut away hair, thread, string and other debris wound around the roller, using the scissors. Tangles on the roller brush are a common reason for belt wear and breakdowns due to the added weight and stress on the roller brush.
Slip the replacement belt over the roller brush and seat the belt in the groove in the center of the roller.
Slide the roller brush back into the grooved mounts on either side of the housing and snap into place.
Pull back on the new belt and slip the loop over the pulley attached to the vacuum motor.
Replace the bottom cover by snapping it back on the housing until it clicks into place.
