No, I wouldn't think they would intend for a belt to slip.
A slipping belt will quickly overheat, char the gripping surface, which will cause more slipping...
Look the belt and pulleys over closely. If any pulleys are shinny down to the bottom of the vee, the belt is riding too deep. It should never contact the bottom.
Either the belt is worn, the belt is wrong (too narrow), or the pulleys are worn.
Look the tensioner over carefully. Sometimes they wear from the constant vibration. They get out of alignment, can't apply full tension to the belt.
If you look at the belt arrangement, you'll see the tensioner is on the return, or "slack" side of the belt. To determine what is slipping, with the engine off, hold the driving pulley from turning, hand turn the blade/blades opposite the direction they normally turn. Feel how difficult the blades are to turn. They should bite into the belt and be near impossible to slip. If anything slips, that's likely what is slipping when running.

After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
