What rpm are you turning. Either you got very low rpm's or a clutch issue. I've never had a 6x6 that would only go 10mph. Something is wrong. Check and see if your clutches are opening completely while in neutral.
l like to buy stuff and no I don't do payments!
I'll check the clutch. rpms I have no guages. I just had someone follow me. So I new my speed.
Clutch on motor opens.. bot bigger one on bottom of the belt does not move. I have a red spring if that matters. What can I do next?
Check the belt for size and tension. It should be wide enough to be flush or slighty higher than the sides of the secondary clutch and only have about 1/2" deflection.

It'sflush.. but lose...can move it about 3 inches of play
Is there away 2 tighten it. I don't see any way to adjust the motor back any.

I don't believe the stock Hustler allows for the tightening of the belt. You have to either replace the belt or modify your engine mount to allow for belt adjustment:
What else can I look 4. Belt don't seem 2 b slipping. Check carb? Was supposed to b just rebuilt...
I think You need to check the rpm's, somebody may have messed with the governor at some point.
The first thing I do is buy a (tiny tach) for every machine, they are a bit pricy compared to generic ones. It is so easy to hook up and they last and are accurate, it's very nice to see RPMs... Norm.
