I'm working on a Craftsman YS4500 model# 917.276680 42" cut riding mower. My friend brought it to me with it not wanting to pull up a small incline. So I replaced the drive belt; still won't pull. Then I replaced both V pulley's and the idler pulley and the idler return spring; still won't pull. I then exchanged the aftermarket drive belt with an original Craftsman 140218 drive belt; still won't pull. After I finally installed all these different parts I was test driving it on an incline and I reached down and pulled the brake pedal to me very so slightly and it would climb a telephone pole. PLEASE someone tell me what my problem is. Oh so many Thanks to anyone who may reply.

Probably a worn linkage between the pedal and the idler.
