If you have an automatic or hydrostatic transmission then you have a lemon, which means once the oil heats up in your transmission it thins out and clutchs and swash plate have no grip on the drive system which is hydraulic pressure needed to hold on the shaft and axles this happens all inside the transmission you cant see it but you can tell when going up slight hills and when you have the blades engaged it crawls like a turtle get you warranty out Joe..... dont touch anything that may void your warranty..... just call service department they will send service man out to your home even after that keep a good eye on your tractor since its still under waranty for further problems.
Joe your 20 year old craftsman had a better built ****** by sears and you probably had a 6 speed or five speed even hydostatics were good too,they dont have much problems except belt slipping its an easy fix this new tractor u need service man right away.
Could be the drive belt is slipping. This is the belt that goes from the engine to the transmission. If it is worn it can slip. You can go to this link and view parts. http://www.ereplacementparts.com/murray-46581x92a-2000-4634-lawn-tractor-parts-c-17887_17888_28185.html
It refers to the belt as ITEM 15. Belt, motion drive
Either your drive belt is loose or your transmission is going bad. I would have another mechanic, not the one who installed your "new clutch" take a look at it.
As you attempt the incline grab the clutch pedal with your heel and pull it towards you if it starts pulling correctly you have a belt problem . If it makes no difference you are having hydro pump problems
Some of these tractors have a friction wheel that is driven off of a flat wheel on the bottom of the engine drive shaft. The rubber ring on this friction wheel could be worn out, or it could be out of adjustment.
