Got a hayward "The Pool Cleaner" 2 wheel vacuum. Currently it is not moving forward. If I life it up a bit the wheels move very slowly. When it does the spinning its spinning just fine and at the speed you would expect. But after the spin nothing. PSI is about 10 at 2800. I removed top and everything looks normal. Nothing in there blocking anything. Any tips? Its about 6 years old. Maybe just time to replace? Thanks

May just be time for a "rebuild" kit. There are too many parts/gears that can be worn out, including the gears in the wheels themselves.
Here is an example of a kit, quick and easy repair:

Thanks for the link. Do you know if this kit fits the grey 'special edition" one? I assume they are the same and its jsut marketing but...
