Craftsman hydrostatic

My Craftsman (AYP) 917.287261, 42" cut with two cylinder Briggs engine, fuel tank under the seat area and fuel filler on the left rear fender has a problem. 287 hours on the meter. Sudden onset, the hydro will barely pull a hill, stops when going up the hill but gradually seems to pull and then gains speed slowly. I have ordered a new belt but suspect a bigger problem.
The belt is 130969, 532130969 if used on Husqvarna.
Does this sound like a belt problem? If not, what is the more likely problem?
And with the gas tank over the transaxle, how is the belt changed? Access to the pulley on the transaxle?
Need more info, just ask.
