cub mower slips

I have a cub with a woods 42 mower.Whenever I get in tall grass the mower starts making noise like the overide clutch in the mower is slipping.
I thought this was for hitting objects.Ive taken it apart and tried adding and subtracting washers but nothing seems to help.
 
Are you sure it is not the belt. A slipping belt can chatter and either tightening the idlers, or using dressing can help. Jim
 
Im sure its not the belt I can see the cover where the bolt goes through slipping.Could it be the cogs are just worn out on the slip clutch?Is there a way to rig it where it will not slip?
 
It's not a slip clutch. It's an overrunning clutch that lets the blades spin when you press the clutch. Without the clutch, the spinning blades would continue to push the Cub forward about 5-10 feet.

The overrunning clutch is shot. You can replace it or you can weld it solid, but be careful if you weld it because of what I said above. Make sure you pop the tractor out of gear each time you press the clutch pedal to prevent the problem.
