Jack, Thanks for the reply. I don't think the terrain here is too hilly. Last night I was looking through the exploded diagrams looking for one of the arms for adjusting the belts on the deck, and saw a part number for a 90 lb weight that attaches to the tailframe under the seat. Only guess I have is the outfront mower decks of the 60's and 76's changed the weight balance of the mower too far forward and the weight was needed to allow better traction at the wheels. I'm not sure of this, but the mower I have (60") does very well on flats and very slight inclines, without the weightset in back. Starts to slip when ground is damp on the inclines, and on steeper hills when it's dry. Standing up does help. I'm just trying to work through this traction problem, aside from a terminal case of belt adjustments, the mower does a great job. Kurt
